Review of Agnes Browne

Agnes Browne (1999)
5/10
Tom Jones and the camp factor
22 May 2000
Warning: Spoilers
Entertaining. That is how I would describe 'Agnes Browne'. The film is witty at times. Angelica Huston is almost believable as an Irish mammy ("I don't know my husband's maiden name"). The French baker is an eerie Gerard Depardieu lookalike. The (real British/Irish) supporting actors are excellent (Ray Winstone! you love to hate him as usual).

SPOILER COMING UP

Entertaining, almost belieavble, only to be spoiled by mr foghorn Jones making an appearance at the end, not looking at all the way the period of the film would suggest (especially on stage). And oh my word, another one of those cliche happy endings. Not that I have anything against happy endings. It's just that you can see this one coming about half an hour in advance....
