At first, Declan refuses to drive Anna to Dublin, but after his pub is threatened with foreclosure the next morning, he agrees to drive her for €500. Before they leave, Declan gets frustrated at Anna's luggage and she snaps at him telling to be careful due to the fact that her boyfriend gave it to her and it is Louis Vuitton. The two set out in Declan's rickety car, but they quickly run into a herd of cows. Anna shoos them away but steps in cow dung, causing her to lean against the car, which wheels back into a lake. Angry at Declan, Anna walks away from him; she stops a car for a lift and after offering to take her bag they drive away with her luggage to the delight of Declan.
The two eventually reach a pub where they discover the men going through Anna's luggage. Declan punches them, and they are both kicked out by the landlord. They eventually reach a railway station by foot. While passing time waiting for the train at a nearby castle, Declan asks Anna what she would save if her apartment caught fire, and she is unable to answer. The train arrives early, and Anna misses it. The two go to a bed and breakfast, where they are forced to pretend that they are married so that their conservative hosts will allow them to stay. Asked their married name, they simultaneously answer 'Brady' and 'O'Callaghan', quickly amending that to 'O'Brady-Callaghan'. During dinner, Anna and Declan are forced to kiss, which causes some confusion for them. That night, they hesitantly sleep in the same bed. The next day, they take shelter from a hail storm in a church where a wedding is taking place.
The next day they arrive by bus in Dublin. On the way to the hotel, they stop by a park and Declan reveals that he was once engaged but that his ex-fiancée ran off with his best friend and his family ring to Dublin; Anna encourages him to get his ring back. When Anna reaches Jeremy's hotel, he proposes to her, and she accepts after a hesitation as Declan walks away. At their engagement party, Anna finds out that Jeremy proposed to her only in an effort to impress the manager of the expensive condominium the two were attempting to buy.
Dismayed, Anna pulls the fire alarm and watches as Jeremy grabs all the electronics before fleeing. Anna goes back to the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, where Declan is successfully running his inn. She proposes that they get together and 'not make plans', and Declan leaves the room. Anna interprets this as a rejection, so she rushes outside and ends up on a cliff overlooking the sea. Declan follows her and asks, 'Mrs. O'Brady-Callaghan, where the hell are you going?' and proposes to her with the ring he retrieved from his ex-fiancée while in Dublin. Some time later, the two are shown driving in Declan's car with a 'Just married' sign in the back window.
The film was shot in County Wicklow, Dublin, County Mayo and County Galway, with filming taking place in and around the Aran Islands, Connemara, Temple Bar, Georgian Dublin, Wicklow National Park and Olaf Street, Waterford. On October 19, it was announced that Randy Edelman had been chosen to compose the film's film score. The decision to choose Edelman came as a surprise, as Tucker had used Barrington Pheloung for two of his previous films, ''Hilary & Jackie'' and ''When Did You Last See Your Father?''

Amy Lou Adams (born August 20, 1974) is an American actress and singer. Adams began her performing career on stage in dinner theaters before making her screen debut in the 1999 black comedy film ''Drop Dead Gorgeous''. After a series of television guest appearances and roles in B movies, she landed the role of Brenda Strong in 2002's ''Catch Me If You Can'', but her breakthrough role was in the 2005 independent film ''Junebug'', playing Ashley Johnsten, for which she received critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Adams subsequently starred in Disney's 2007 film ''Enchanted'', a critical and commercial success, and received a Golden Globe Award nomination for her performance as Princess Giselle. She received her second Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations the following year for her role as a young nun, Sister James, in ''Doubt''. Though she has appeared in a range of dramatic and comedic roles, Adams has gained a reputation for playing characters with cheerful and sunny dispositions. Adams starred in ''Sunshine Cleaning'' with Emily Blunt and Alan Arkin, and the following year appeared as Amelia Earhart in ''Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian''. She appeared in ''Julie & Julia'' in 2009 portraying writer Julie Powell followed by ''Leap Year'' in 2010. Her recent role as Charlene Fleming in ''The Fighter'' earned Adams her third Academy Award nomination, her third Golden Globe Award, second BAFTA Award, and fifth Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
Throughout her years at Douglas County High School, she sang in the school choir and trained as an apprentice at a local dance company with ambitions of becoming a ballerina. Her parents had hoped that she would continue her athletic training, which she gave up to pursue dance, as it would have given her a chance to obtain a college scholarship. Adams later reflected on her decision not to go to college: "I wasn't one of those people who enjoyed being in school. I regret not getting an education, though." After graduating from high school, she moved to Atlanta with her mother. Deciding that she was not gifted enough to be a professional ballerina, she entered musical theater, which she found was "much better suited to [her] personality". She said that ballet was "too disciplined and too restrained and I was always told off in the chorus lines" and her body at the time was "just wrecked from dancing all these years." Upon turning 18, Adams supported herself by working as a greeter at a Gap store while performing in community theater. For a few weeks after graduating high school, she took her first full-time job as a hostess at Hooters, a fact that became her "entire press career" for a while. Adams left the job three weeks later after having saved enough money to buy her first car. She admitted: "... there was definitely an innocence to my interpretation of what Hooters was about. Though I did learn, quickly, that short shorts and beer don't mix!"
From 2000 to 2002, Adams appeared in a series of small films like ''Psycho Beach Party'' while guest-starring on television series such as ''That '70s Show'', ''Charmed'', ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', ''Smallville'' and ''The West Wing''. She then appeared in Steven Spielberg's ''Catch Me If You Can'' as Brenda Strong, a candy-striper with whom Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) falls in love. It was, in Spielberg's words, "the part that should have launched her career" but she was unemployed for a year after that. However, Adams said, "It was the first time I knew I could act at that level with those people. To be believed in by Steven Spielberg... it was a huge confidence booster." In 2004, she starred in ''The Last Run'' as well as voicing characters on the animated television series ''King of the Hill''. She was also cast as a regular in the television series, ''Dr. Vegas'', in the role of Alice Doherty but was later fired after a contract dispute.
After the theatrical release of ''The Wedding Date'', in which Adams appeared alongside Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney, ''Junebug'' was released in theaters by Sony Pictures Classics. Adams earned critical accolades for her work in ''Junebug''; Carina Chocano of ''Los Angeles Times'' noted, "Adams' performance in a role that could have easily devolved into caricature is complex and nuanced." Joe Leydon of ''Variety'' commented, "Partly due to her character's generosity of spirit, but mostly due to her own charisma, Adams dominates pic with her appealing portrayal of a nonjudgmental optimist savvy enough to recognize the shortcomings of others, but sweet enough to offer encouragement, not condemnation". She received several awards for Best Supporting Actress including the National Society of Film Critics award and the Independent Spirit Award. She was also nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited Adams to become a member in 2006.
Although ''Junebug'' had a limited audience, Adams' critically acclaimed performance in the film helped to increase interest in her acting career. Adams went on to appear in films like ''Standing Still'' and ''Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby'', and played the recurring guest role of Katy on the television series ''The Office''. After providing the voice for Polly Purebred in Walt Disney Pictures' ''Underdog'', Adams starred in Disney's 2007 big-budget animated/live-action feature film, ''Enchanted''. The film, which co-stars Patrick Dempsey, Idina Menzel, Susan Sarandon and James Marsden, revolves around Giselle, who is forced from her 2D-animated world to real-life New York City. Adams was amongst 300 or so actresses who auditioned for the role of Giselle, but she stood out to director Kevin Lima because her "commitment to the character, her ability to escape into the character's being without ever judging the character was overwhelming".
''Enchanted'' was a commercial success, grossing more than $340 million worldwide. Her performance was well received by the critics, with Todd McCarthy of ''Variety'' describing ''Enchanted'' as a star-making vehicle for Adams the way ''Mary Poppins'' was for Julie Andrews. Roger Ebert of ''Chicago Sun-Times'' commented that Adams was "fresh and winning", while Wesley Morris of ''The Boston Globe'' stated that she "demonstrates a real performer's ingenuity for comic timing and physical eloquence". Adams garnered a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, a Critics' Choice Award nomination for Best Actress, and the Saturn Award for Best Actress. Three of the film's songs were nominated for Best Original Song at the 80th Academy Awards. Adams performed one of the songs, "Happy Working Song", live on stage during the Oscar ceremony. "That's How You Know", originally performed by Adams in the film, was sung by Kristin Chenoweth at the ceremony. In an interview, Adams remarked that the song was "perfect" for Chenoweth since Chenoweth "was a huge inspiration for how [she] approached Giselle".
The success of ''Enchanted'' increased Adams' media exposure during the 2007–08 film awards season. As well as appearing on the covers of ''Interview'', ''Elle'' and the Hollywood issue of ''Vanity Fair'', which named her as one of the "10 fresh faces of 2008", Adams hosted the seventh episode of the 33rd season of ''Saturday Night Live'' in March 2008. In the episode, she played various characters, including Heidi Klum, as well as singing "What is this Feeling" from ''Wicked'' in a mock battle with ''SNL'' cast member Kristen Wiig during the opening monologue. Adams appeared in ''Charlie Wilson's War'', co-starring with Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Adams portrayed Bonnie Bach, the title character's administrative assistant. On the experience of making the film, Adams said, "It was so much fun. Just to be on that set and learn from these people and get to watch Philip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Hanks do these amazing scenes together, directed by Mike Nichols, it was for me like going to school." Adams' next project was ''Sunshine Cleaning'' playing a single mother who starts her own crime scene clean-up business in order to make enough money to send her son to a private school. The film premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and received mixed reviews. When it received a limited theatrical release in March 2009, it was generally well-received. Mick LaSalle of ''San Francisco Chronicle'' gave the film a positive review, saying: "The play of emotion on Amy Adams' face is the main reason to see ''Sunshine Cleaning''."
In late 2008, Adams starred in ''Doubt'', an adaptation of John Patrick Shanley's play of the same name, as the young and innocent Sister James alongside Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis. After being informed of the project by her ''Sunshine Cleaning'' co-star, Emily Blunt, Adams pursued the role of Sister James but was told that it had already been offered to another actor. Shanley eventually cast Adams in the role because "she's got this Ingrid Bergman thing going on, this luminosity. You see a good person struggling in this complicated world. She's fiercely intelligent but has this peculiar innocence about her. She has a beautiful face of light." On acting alongside Streep and Hoffman, Adams revealed that there was "a sense of uncertainty, a sense of doubt, a sense of wanting to please these amazing actors". The film was well-received by the critics, while Adams' role was noted to be the "least-showy" among the four major parts. Though her performance was criticized by Manohla Dargis of ''The New York Times'' as "unsteady", Todd McCarthy of ''Variety'' commented that "Adams does all anyone could with the role of a nice young nun." Mick LaSalle of ''San Francisco Chronicle'' wrote: "Adams provides one of the film's singular advantages. She takes the role of Sister James, which onstage seemed little more than a sounding board for Sister Aloysius, and turns the young nun into someone quite specific and lovely." Adams was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 81st Academy Awards, the 66th Golden Globe Awards, the 15th Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the 62nd British Academy Film Awards.
Adams' next role was Amelia Earhart in ''Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian'', opposite Ben Stiller. The film premiered over the 2009 Memorial Day weekend and topped the U.S. box office with a gross of $15.3 million on its first day, beating ''Terminator Salvation''. Although the film received "mixed or average reviews", Adams' performance was praised by most critics. Among those to give it a positive review, Michael Phillips of the ''Chicago Tribune'' thought that the film "radically improves whenever Amy Adams pops up as aviatrix Amelia Earhart... she's terrific —a sparkling screen presence"; and Owen Gleiberman of ''Entertainment Weekly'' wrote that "''Battle of the Smithsonian'' has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing." On the other hand, Ty Burr of ''The Boston Globe'' disliked the film, describing Adams' Earhart as "a flighty pill with no resemblance to the woman herself". While Lael Loewenstein of ''Variety'' thought Adams was "trying a bit too hard", Roger Ebert commented that she was the only actor who surpassed the material. The film's director, Shawn Levy, says of her: "I don't know that there's a better actress in her generation... I mean, there are other big female actors, but someone who can do ''Doubt'' and ''Julie & Julia'', and ''Night at the Museum 2'', all in the same year? Her range is almost unparalleled. It's a huge part of why we feel that this movie is even better than the first." That same year Adams starred in ''Julie & Julia'' alongside her ''Doubt'' co-star Meryl Streep as Julia Child and Adams as government secretary, Julie Powell, who decides to cook all of the recipes in Child's ''Mastering the Art of French Cooking''.
In 2010 Adams appeared in two films, the romantic comedy, ''Leap Year'', and as Charlene Fleming, the aggressive and gritty girlfriend of Irish Micky Ward, in ''The Fighter''. The Best Picture nominated-film received critical praise for its actors in which Adams starred alongside, Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. Adams received acclaim for her work and was praised for taking on such a volatile and aggressive character. This was noted to be Adams' definitive performance because of the rough edges and darkness mixed with authenticity that she brought to the role. For her role in ''The Fighter'', Adams was nominated for the BAFTA Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress losing the latter three awards to her co-star Leo.
Her upcoming projects include ''Daughter of the Queen of Sheba'', an adaptation of Adena Halpern's novel ''The Ten Best Days of My Life'', which she will also be producing, and in Disney's ''The Muppets'' alongside Jason Segel and The Muppets where she will be returning to singing. The film is set for release in Thanksgiving of 2011 and currently in production. Adams is also set to appear in the film ''On the Road'' opposite Viggo Mortensen. It was recently announced that Adams will portray Lois Lane opposite Henry Cavill as Superman in the upcoming comic book reboot film, Man of Steel. Produced by ''The Dark Knight'' director Christopher Nolan, director Zack Snyder said in statement, "We are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today. Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful." She is also set to star in the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson 2012 film, ''The Master'' as the wife of Philip Seymour Hoffman's character.

known for | ''Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews,'' ''The Culture Show,'' ''The Dodge Brothers'' |

occupation | Film critic, presenter, musician }} |
Mark Fairey's parents divorced when he was in his early 20s and he subsequently changed his surname to his GP mother's maiden name by deed poll. (Neither of them is related to the literary critic Frank Kermode.)
He earned his PhD in English at the University of Manchester in 1991, writing a thesis on horror fiction. Kermode has stated that "I was a revolutionary communist affiliate in the 80s", but that "none of us had any respect for Stalin".
Kermode is sometimes critical of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the censor for film in the UK, calling for horror films from abroad to be shown in their uncut versions. However, in recent years, he has stated on numerous occasions that the BBFC do a good job in an impossible situation, and expressed his approval of their decisions.
In February 2010, Random House released his autobiography, ''It's Only a Movie'', which he describes as being "inspired by real events". Its publication was accompanied by a UK tour. In September 2011 he released a follow-up book entitled ''The Good, the Bad and the Multiplex'', in which he puts forth his opinion on the good and bad of modern films, and vehemently criticizes the modern multiplex experience and the 3D film craze of the early 2000s.
Kermode also co-hosted an early 1990s afternoon magazine show on BBC Radio 5 called ''A Game of Two Halves'' alongside former Blue Peter presenter Caron Keating.
He currently reviews and debates new film releases each Friday afternoon with Simon Mayo on Mayo's ''BBC Radio 5 Live'' show, which is also available as a podcast. The programme won Gold in the Speech Award category at the 2009 Sony Radio Academy Awards on 11 May 2009. The judges' citation was:
The winner of the Gold Award made the judges laugh out loud. They found this programme witty and entertaining, cheeky and irreverent, and they admired the sustained passion and energy of its presenters who made listening an effortless and rollercoaster pleasure.
His derisive review of the Christopher Columbus film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief inspired the Australian comedy film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins.
Kermode is also a film critic and presenter for Film4 and Channel 4, presenting the weekly ''Extreme Cinema'' strand. He also writes and presents documentaries for Channel 4. Once a week, he reviews films for ''BBC News at Five''.
Kermode rarely watches television, calling it "trivial" and stating that "I have been doing my best to avoid [TV] for the last 20 years." On being challenged by ''The Observer'' to watch TV, he admitted "if there's one thing I've learned from agreeing to take up the Observer's TV challenge this summer, it's that an awareness of what's going on in television is probably helpful to an understanding of movies. Worse, it may even be essential".
Kermode appeared in a cameo role as himself in the revival of the BBC's ''Absolutely Fabulous'' on January 1, 2012.
Kermode has recorded DVD audio commentaries for ''Tommy'', ''The Ninth Configuration'', ''The Wicker Man'' and (with Peter O'Toole) ''Becket''. He also appears in the DVD extras of ''Lost in La Mancha'', interviewing Terry Gilliam. Kermode has written books, published by the BFI in its ''Modern Classics'' series, on ''The Exorcist'' and ''The Shawshank Redemption'' and his documentary for Channel 4, ''Shawshank: The Redeeming Feature'', is on the film's 10th anniversary special edition DVD.
