...husband is suddenly dead, her seven children are in peril, she's in debt to a loan shark, and her best friend has breast cancer. But Agnes Browne, played by the director, remains essentially, somewhat improbably, undaunted. She cheerfully runs her fruit and vegetable stall in an outdoor Dublin market, allows herself to be flirted with by the local baker, yearns for tickets to a Tom Jones concert (the year is 1967). Not that we want for another lesson in the need to be chipper in adversity, but there are a reserve and a realism in Huston's work that...

Phronakson arrests about 10 foreigners a month, usually for drug possession. The word among foreigners is that for a 70,000 baht fine, about $1,800, the Thais will deport you rather than imprison you. As for the Canadian currently being held...
...begins a wild expedition that involves shark attacks (both real and fake), betrayal (guess who winds up getting the girl), murder and sex (not necessarily in that order). On the island, the trio discovers a community of travelers who coexist peacefully with a number of gun-toting drug farmers; paradise bordered by the leafy green of illegal substances.
