Ho-de-ho-ho, if it isn’t being Saint Patrick’s day ya bloody bollocks, and as a special service to our ‘Of-Irish-Descent’ readers, its time for a patronising article that has bugger all to do with Ireland (and in no way increase our readership by being blatantly confrontational and obnoxious obviously).
Time to pick up a green plastic bowler hat (just like they had in the old country that neither you nor anyone you know has ever been to), fill it with dyed green cheap whiskey (because that’s what a true Irishman would obviously do) and check out the best, definitely, positively, Of-Irish-Descent oh-yes-sir-honestly actors!
Robert Schwentke obviously faced a tough job adapting Niffenegger’s rich, layered novel for the screen, and while it often feels both lacking in depth and overcrowded, Hapless Time-Jumper Henry’s struggle to build a relationship with Clare, remains intact, and it’s here that the film genuinely scores points.
