*–I have a fearful temper. You might as well know about it now instead of findin' out about it later. We Danahers are a fightin' people
–I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do to one of the Danahers - Miss Danaher*
I love Sean and Mary, I love their crazy relationship, I love Mary’s being shy but in the same time being so strong, I love how Sean fall in love with her just looking at her, far away, I love imagine how sweet and romantic their life will be, I love how the village is unique and with a strong bond, I love how Mary take care so much about her furnitures and always thought about have a place her own, anyway I love everything about this

I'm left swooning, laughing, and daydreaming about Ireland, all at once. In a word, irresistible.

It was on the tv and I put it on. Idk if it’s just me but like older films I feel like stretch on like way too much like it just repeats the same thing over and over
