Today's social media generation would dismiss the movie as... as... I don't know what pejorative insensitive word they'd use, but it doesn't matter. It wouldn't matter to the characters to be sure, and it certainly doesn't matter to me. A young boy and girl grow up neighbours, friends and more, and the only thing they aren't is lovers. A terrible waste of time in anyone's life, that they haven't..

The whole families, friends and neighbours all wonder... "What the heck are they waiting for?" The good news is they eventually find what it was they needed... an ultimatum by the Irish lass who at one point considered having her eggs frozen. Their parents who tried everything to make the couple realize their destiny needed fulfilling, succeeded, but it was beyond their grave they did.

Once you watch the movie, this will all make perfect sense to you; I couldn't make sense of it myself throughout the movie, until the last scenes. So why should I spare you that pleasure. Oh dear! Their world has become mine. Help!

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.

Some people may not entirely have the same conversation or think of what the movie will end up discussing when I say that summary line. I wouldn't even want to start explaining it. It is one of the weirdest things put on film ... I'd argue in a good sense.

What I can say, Emily Blunt is quite the stunning person ... anyone should be happy to have her as his (or her for that matter) neighbor ... that being said, Jamie Dorman is playing it as straight/shy as he can. Add to that the playboy Jon Hamm (I'd like to see him do the Dorman part for a change, but that's a different story - literally) ... and you have quite the love triangle ... also a genius like Walken always helps ... no matter how bad tempered and evil intent he may be ... so great acting with an interesting love story to say the least ...
