2020: From start to finish, this movie carries you on a wild wide of imagination and fantasy, with an outstanding plot, real characters, and a message you;ll never forget. Not to mention the stellar effects and choreography. It should be the cornerstone of every family movie library. An outstanding binding of true American patriotism and respect for cultural heritage has nee before been achieved to this extent. Watching this masterpiece of cinematography has been an experience I will never forget. 10/10, would recommend, watch with your family and everyone you know. Get those up, the world need to know the story of Kyle O'Relliy/Johnson!
Updated 2021: After watching this masterpiece for a second time, I couldn't help but be astonished at the earth-shatteringly realistic depictions of the colorful Irish culture. From the time honored tradition of cobbling, to the plethora of wonderful Irish recipes involving potatoes. Truly a great educational resource for those wishing to learn more about Irish culture. Especially those exciting games, boy did they look fun! And while all this was happening, they still managed to keep Kyle's character uniquely American. As a Clevelander myself, I couldn't help but admire the beautiful blend of the two unique cultures. Again, an absolutely must watch, and now a favorite St. Patrick's Day tradition!
Updated 2022: Third times a charm (get it!)! This movie truly never loses it's cultural significance, especially now in a time so divisive and full of hatred. So many people would do well to learn the message this movie so artistically and touchingly expresses. Looking at you Putin. These core American values should be taught and learned by all, for they are crucial to a good society. Nothing would ever go wrong in a society truly American. Kyle's acceptance and prioritization of his American values over his heritage is a powerful example we all should follow. Truly inspiring, this movie. I've never seen anything quite as remarkable as this.
