Rent Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)

Alright - Wild Mountain Thyme review by TH

One of those strange films where it's nice to watch on a sunday afternoon but will unlikely feature as anyone favourite film.

The acting is good enough but at times feels like it would have worked better as a stage play.

Overall it's a decent watch but unlikely to view again.

Whimsical & Silly RomCom - Wild Mountain Thyme review by GI

A silly American vision of Ireland with a story set in the present day but making it look like 70 years ago. There's been much said about the dodgy Irish accents but to be honest I wasn't overly distracted by them (although Christopher Walken's casting left me baffled) I was more confused by the daft whimsy of the whole film. This is a sort of romcom with Emily Blunt playing a sharp tongued, Irish red headed beauty, Rosemary (all very Maureen O'Hara from The Quiet Man) who has her heart set on her farmer neighbour, Anthony played by Jamie Dornan. The trouble is he's in a dispute with his curmudgeonly old Dad (Walken) who for vague reasons wants to pass the farm to his American nephew Adam (Jon Hamm), who even more strangely is keen on leaving his plush life in New York for a desolate Irish farm! Even more strange is that Anthony's reluctance to reciprocate his love to Rosemary is because he thinks he's a honey bee!! Yes you heard that right. All this adds up to a mess, a silly film and a waste of talent and the sorting of all this out is a major disappointment.

Very bizarre film - Wild Mountain Thyme review by giantrolo

This was such an odd film - I expected so much more given the cast, but in the end the plot was a little confused, the main message seemed to be that stalking someone was a sure fire way to get them to marry you, and I was left feeling very underwhelmed. I'm sure I totally missed the point the writer/director was trying to make, but unfortunately this wasn't a film I would recommend!
