Customer Reviews of Irish Jam

Don't judge anything by its cover.
Ms. "Triple zeros" and Mr. "culture," Could you please elaborate on what exactly was so bad about the movie? Example; I'm Cuban, and I'm offended by Scarface. Why because it has an Italian American(as if they couldn't find any aspiring Cuban actors)playing a Cuban Mafioso. Reality is most Cubans in Miami are middle class, politically, and socially conservative. What's more if they're 1st generation they don't speak broken and retarded English to their relatives. They speak the Spanish of their birth. <
> There's an example for you of a critique. What exactly did you find objectionable about Irish Jam? <
> I liked it because it sends a message to American culture that Ireland isn't some kind of magical fairyland where every body looks like a leprechaun, tells jokes, drinks beer, and is after the pot of gold. <
> In fact in the movie there's a part where the English schemer, and corporate monger wants everyone to dress as lepracuans in his new theme park. The townspeople are offended by it, and finally there is an expression by something like a movie that Ireland is made up of real people, with real problems, and not leprechuans. They also are facing the same enemy today that has plagued us since the begining of History, the rich, and the greedy to get richer. I also especially liked the singing by the main female character played by Cathy Murphy.

Terrible.
There is a racist comment on the cover for crying out loud! I am tired of the paddy this and that, Irish pennants, paddy wagon, and luck of the Irish. If this movie follows 90 percent of the urban movies I have seen it is going to make white people evil and helpless. Please leave our culture alone crap. I hate rap and love Irish music. Please leave Irish music alone. This is a waste of film. It was not even filmed in Ireland but England with no real Irish actors. I would not even give this a star. Please leave the Irish culture alone it is all we have left.

Better than you would expect.
This film had all the potential to be a throwaway teen comedy, but instead is surprisingly good. I wasn't familiar with Eddie Griffin, the man has some funny and clever raps ( as in talking not rhyming ). One of those rare films that manages to combine hilarity and sincerity. It isn't perfect of course, sometimes overdoing it or just being silly, but all in all it is definitely better than average. It also turns the typical white man saving the ignorant savages premise on its head. If you cling to antiquated and erroneous racial notions this film is going to make you squat a brick.
