Agnes Browne
Added 2/25/2009
I've loved Angelica Huston ever since I saw her play the scheming Maerose Prizzi in "Prizzi's Honor." But I had no idea how much range she had until I saw her in this film. She plays Agnes with such an easy naturalness that she makes the character real and human. I love this movie.

When you're this far down, the only direction is up

Angelica Huston directs and stars in this lightweight adaptation of Brendan O'Carroll's novel "The Mammy". Suddenly widowed Agnes Browne, a mother of seven, is left to raise her brood on pauper's wages. Not surprisingly, they're a handful to manage. Ciaran Owens of Angela's Ashes is aboard playing a son who gambles, smokes and runs afoul of a loan shark.
The story line descends into a series of haphazard vignettes involving Agnes Browne's daily struggle to keep her sanity and sense of humor among the tenement-life characters surrounding her. A dear friend, played by Marion O'Dwyer, dies of breast cancer and causes the requisite trauma to mind and soul that the loss of a friend should. Curiously the death of her husband in the opening scene causes quite a different response from Agnes Browne. With friend Marion in tow, she heads for the public assistance office to apply for the dole. Asked how long her husband has been deceased she tells the clerk, "About four hours," and bursts into laughter. Ah, the Irish. Humor in any situation.
Between keeping her kids in line and peddling fruit at a fruit stand, Agnes has little time for recreation. She manages to nurture a budding romance with a French baker, played by Arno Chevrier. Singer Tom Jones arrives for a timely cameo that ultimately determines how the movie ends. Although Agnes lacks the money to purchase tickets for his Dublin concert, the Browne brats come to the rescue, making it like junior prom night for her. A date with Tom, a limo, and the loan shark receives his just due, all in one scene.

Angelica Houston and cast are so lovable, funny and real. If you've read the Brown trilogy, you'll love this film. I laughed, I cried, i laughed some more...there's never a dull moment.
