A feel-good coming-of-age movie that floats on a boatload of Irish charm.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
A likable if ordinary Irish indie that barely squeaks by on the charms of its leads.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Fresh
Enlivens the classic premise of innocent-in- the-city by moving its archetypal characters in unexpected directions.
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Stack Cowboys against most of the fare American studios offer young adults and it's meatier by far.
