I agree that HS was not a good choice for the main role. Sure, she can do drama, but romantic drama? Not so much. Jennifer Garner would have been a much better choice, or perhaps someone who had a little more of a likeability factor. I had a lump in my throat, but mainly because of the story, not her acting - then again, maybe it was her acting?
HC Jr was good, but looking a little paunchy...I remember him as much hotter in Memphis Belle, plus the role he played was a little odd.
Lisa Kudrow was ok, but looking a little oldish in this film compared to "Friends" days.
I find it funny that the guys they used for Irish guys, one is Scottish (Gerard Butler - Phantom from recent film and King Leonidas from 300- soo hot) and the other is from Seattle. Having been to Ireland a few times, they did an ok job, but their accents could have been better. At least Butler's was passable, the American guy needed some work. It was especially ironic that the American guy was in a preview playing a NY firefighter right before the movie started though.
It was an ok movie, go to a matinee, don't pay full price. Heck, I'd even suggest waiting for the DVD.
