Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt) and Anthony Reilly (Jamie Dornan) are neighboring farmers. She has been in love with him since childhood but he never reciprocates for unknown reasons. His father Tony (Christopher Walken) is unwilling to wait any longer for him to find a wife and plans to sell the family farm to his American nephew Adam (Jon Hamm). It leaves Anthony without his being and leaves Rosemary without her hope.
This movie meanders around for over an hour. It's a tease. The audience is forced to wait and wait for a big talk between Rosemary and Anthony. Boy, is it big. It's humongous. It's over the top and outrageous. One wonders why they haven't had that kind of talk in the decades of the unrequited love. Then, I remember the writer John Patrick Shanley also wrote Moonstruck. The man loves his big explosive love declarations. I don't think this is a good movie but that ten minutes woke me out of my doldrums. In an aside, the love triangle would work much better if Adam is played by someone with a lot less charisma.
