Times are tough in Dublin, Ireland. But no one has it tougher than Desmond Doyle when his wife runs off and his beloved daughter Evelyn and two young sons are sent to an orphanage by the government. Enlisting the help of loyal friends (Julianna Margulies, Stephen Rea) and a feisty American lawyer (Aidan Quinn), he takes his case to Ireland's Supreme Court in a history-making quest to topple an ironclad law...and win back custody of his children.

This is the worst Irish film I've seen in many years. It's not even bad enough to be entertaining. Wait till it comes on tv and watch for 10 mins and you'll get the idea. The main child actress is good but after that they should all be taken out and shot. I just hope nobody outside the country sees this! This is so terrible that if a friend of mine said she enjoyed it I'd have to seriously reconsider our friendship! 0 out of 10 .. and lucky to get that :)

Enjoyable

A very interesting story, fairly well told, if a bit too sentimental in parts and Pierce Brosnan's attempt at a Dublin accent is terrible! But enjoyable overall.
