Smart, young urbanite Marcy (Janeane Garofalo) works for a Boston senator up for reelection. Having troubles in his campaign, the JFK wannabe assigns young Marcy to go back to the "old country"--Ireland--and trace his hereditary roots. Young Marcy arrives in a small, unheard of Irish town (where men have singing competitions and buses are still gender-segregated) at the peak of a quaint annual ritual: The Match-making Festival. Being single, Marcy is a marked woman; a lamb laid out to the wolves...
Fortunately, in what is a mainly predictable film, Milo Shea, as the engineer of the necessary happy ending, comes off well. Shea, on the whole, is convincing and gives a charming, fatherly portrayal of the title character.

Don't sweat it, baby, the word's out: everybody knows you're money...
...from making money from their crimes, Mafia snitch Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano shouldn't benefit from his work with author Peter Maas on a book about life in the Mob. Publisher HarperCollins says he was not paid, but one victim's daughter thinks that's bull. Last week Laura Garofalo sued Gravano for wrongful-death damages to the tune of $50 million...
