Danny Mitchell, a working-class Catholic high-school student in West Belfast, Ireland, dreams of playing professional soccer, but first he must perfect his timing. 

He starts taking dance classes, where he meets Lucy McCloughlin, an upper-crust Protestant, and falls in love with her.

I don't know why this film didn't get wide release in 2000 when it first made the rounds in theaters, but now that it's available on video you shouldn't miss the opportunity to see it.

 This was a nice, pleasant, entertaining film. 

Nothing "great" or Oscar worthy, but who cares? 

The story flowed, the sound track was great, and the comedic elements hit their marks. 

Although Keri Russell's Irish accent may not have achieved the subtle nuances of an Irish native, she did a fine job! 

And William Ash (the soccer 'Mambo king') and Brian Cox (as Keri's father) were fine as well! 

What more can you ask for? 

Over all, this was a nice, fresh romantic comedy that was more entertaining than another film set in Ireland a few years prior, The Match Maker (with Janeane Garofalo).
