Irish Jam

Eddie Griffin really needs to take a good role soon. Sure, I had some fun watching him in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow, but that's about it. I just wish he wouldn't have accepted the role in Irish Jam. Hell, I wish Irish Jam wouldn't ahve been made. But, I know there's somebody out there who can contradict my opinion. Anyway, story goes a little something like this. Eddie Griffin plays Jimmy, a south-central... hell, I don't know. And I doubt the director did either. Like I was saying, Jimmy is from south-central, and is down on his luck. He's being chased by his fiance, played by Monique, who we don't see much of. But, he sees an ad in the paper about adding a poem into a contest and winning a pub in Ireland. How he seen this ad, I don't know. But, he enters and wins. He's shipped off to Ireland, and all hell breaks loose for lionels_mother's friends. Oh, and he falls in love. All this bullshit was wrapped up in a sugercoated present, and sent right into my DVD player. The only good thing that I can comment about this movie is the strong performances by Eddie Griffin and Anna Friel. Without them, this movie would've recieved 0 out of 5 stars. But, it didn't. But, it is a sugercoated candy cane of shit!

Half a star out of 5
