[font=Book Antiqua] [color=#000033]I received another movie in the mail this past weekend called; "Dancing at Lughnasa". I liked this film but there could have something more. The cast was great but the script left a lot out. "Dancing at Lughnasa" is based on a stage play but I'm not sure if this autobiography or not even though it's written as if it is. I did enjoy this film but the script does need a little work. The writers left out what happens to certain characters and they hinted to certain situations but didn?t go in to it. The writers just left them be with out any explanation. "Dancing at Lughnasa" is about this young boy who lives with his mother and her four sisters. One of the boy's aunts is over controlling school spinster who's job keeps the whole family together gets [/color][color=#000000]discontinued[/color][color=#000033], it puts the whole family in dire straights. When an uncle comes back from Africa due to an illness, makes the whole family buckle down. During that summer the boy's father comes back into the boy's life after a long absence before going to fight over in Spain. All of this makes an interesting summer for the young boy. The whole family learns about one another and puts every thing in prospective. I would suggest this film to any one. I know my review didn't do justice for this film but please see what you think. There isn't any bonus features on the DVD but it's worth the watch.[/color][color=#000033][/color][/font].
