This movie is one of few that I have watched many many times. I love the cast and story. The characters are everyday folk that seem very real and familiar. Its a great look at the rural northwest Irish coast. I wish more movies of this type were made more often, so that people from other countries could see how things around the world are different and yet the same. If you have not seen this film I say you must if you really like movies. It was not released on DVD that I know of in the United States, but can be purchased from the UK in region two code also I think the only VHS versions were PAL. If you can't find it e-mail me at mark-kilgore@sbcglobal.net and I will try and get you a copy.

We saw the cast/crew preview in Dublin for this film. We were pleasantly surprised at the standard of this film. It was a well condensed story of a village on the west coast of Ireland.(taking into account a lot was tongue in cheek). An amusing and well acted film. Credit for which must go to the director and the full cast and crew. I must give a special mention to the unknown child actors Deborah Barnett, and Michael McDougall (this child was the only cast member who was actually from the Rosses area of Donegal where the film was located.) The film itself showed the beautiful scenery in the area, it was light hearted with a touch of romance and jealousy.

We would highly recommend an early viewing.

Fox flix brought us such memorable with their unique sense of humor as: The Full Monty The impostors Waking Ned Devine

Ther are no recognizable actors in this movie: Risteard Cooper as Father Hubert Mallone Ian Hart as Kieran O'Donnell Not necessarily any "American" women.

In this presentation "American women," aka "The Closer You Get" we have bored single bachelors who live at the end of the world in rural Ireland. Realizing that their prospects of meeting interesting women are few, they come to a scheme of advertising for American women in the Miami Harold.

Little do they suspect that the local women intercept their communiqué and have counter plans of their own. Now the fun begins.

This movie is a movie I always come back to! It's funny and so relatable, coming from a small town myself! The music is wonderful and absolutely ties the movie together! Just love this film!!

The eternal story of the misunderstandings between men and women. A priest in a small Irish town tries to attract a larger audience by showing movies and accidentally shows one depicting what all men think is the perfect woman (Bo Derrick in 10) instead of the Ten Commandments. The sight of Bo awakens the urges in the local men who think that they are being deprived of the kind of women they think they want. They conspire to advertise for American women (between the ages of 20 and 21) with the "credentials" of Bo and there is an hilarious vigilance at the bus stop to wait for the American women to arrive. These shenanigans immediately raises the ire of the local girls who invent their own way to get stimulation by inviting some passing Spanish sailors to a dance. Needless to say they don't last long. Perfect example of "I can but you can't". As the boys continue to wait at the bus stop each day they begin to realise that their local women are becoming more attractive. All men should see this movie if they have a need to understand what they are doing wrong when women give them the cold shoulder. More often than not it's of their own making and communication can break down because the woman might not be able to express herself adequately as in this wonderful, funny, heartwarming movie.

I think that this film achieved what it meant to do. It isn't a blockbuster - simply a great laugh, with a slightly far fetched story line and engaging characters.

The story is a simple one; the lack of available female companionship for the local lads of a rural Irish village and the twist comes when the ladies in the village add their own "twist" to the tale. The lesson isn't mindblowing ... but its obvious that the love interest both sexes search for is right under their own noses.

The comedy is rapid and continuous, not too taxing on the brain. I laughed from soon after the opening sequences finished. Some funny performances to watch out for. Niamh Cusacks performance and her interaction with her daughter, played by Deborah Barnett is touching and both performances are excellent. I think the latter is a local girl and I'm sure she has a future in the business, in fact both children in the film have natural talent.

I laughed, I enjoyed myself and I didnt take it seriously. Go see.
