Charming & funny. And Irish! A grand night at the movies.
Review
On a Clear Day is a very well made movie that will please your olds more than you. Good performances by everyone involved but at the end of the day this movie isnt as uplifting as some other british feel-good "man i've come a long way since the opening credits!" flicks. But then again, I think the story isnt.
