Movie-The Boys and Girls From County Claire

OK, this movie was not the most original or moving or earth shattering.

But The Boys and Girls From County Claire (2005) was charming and sweet and entertaining. Set in Ireland in the 60's, it is about two adult brothers who have not seen each for years and have a bit of a rivalry. They come together to compete in an annual competition of Irish bands. And the meeting unlocks some secrets of the past and sets some new romances into the future.

Again, this is not groundbreaking movie making. But it is funny and nice to watch. And it has an authenticity, probably based on the music that is hard to duplicate.
