I had high hopes for this movie as the trailer had potential but alas I'm smiling at how bad this movie was put together as a whole. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of cheesiness but this movie, I just couldn't buy. First of all, the two romantic leads are not very believable as a couple, a bit hard to put them together lets just say. Some of the airport settings do not exist in the airport, and the way the airline is portrayed as is hilariously bad. The continuity is all over the place for where Alan and his Dad live. Alice is for some reason in Dublin and stuck on 'standby' for a flight to New York, who just so happens to not get on her flight so spends the night with Alan. They must of started their night at 5 pm drinking as they ended up getting a kebab in Zaytoon's after going for a meal, a drink, a bike ride, a rooftop view, a wedding reception, a gay night, then a house party. They of course just happen to end up in bed together and are running late for her flight that she is in not such of a rush to catch. Of course you can guess what happens in the end. Shows Dublin in a pretty light but thats about all this has going for it. Wait for the DVD.....and then only if you're bored...and female.
