Review of Mickybo and Me (2005) by Jeff B — 01 Jun 2007
I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.
Fantastic Irish film, one of the best of the festival. Set in 1970 Northern Ireland, two kids, one Protestant, the other Catholic, bump into each other and quickly become friends. One day, Jonjo and Mickbo go to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at the theater and fall in love with the movie. For the rest of the film they become Butch and Sundance and try to escape Northern Ireland and travel to Australia.
It's a wonderful movie, the two main actors are so perfect, I had a great time the whole way through the film. It would be nice to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid before watching the film, just so you can catch all of the inside jokes, but it's not very necessary.
I really hope this movie gets noticed in the States, it's a lot of fun and has a lot of heart.
