John Patrick Shanley, who created the classic MOONSTRUCK, brings his sweeping romantic vision to Ireland with Wild Mountain Thyme. The headstrong farmer Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt) has her heart set on winning her neighbor Anthony Reilly’s love. The problem is Anthony (Jamie Dornan) seems to have inherited a family curse, and remains oblivious to his beautiful admirer. Stung by his father Tony's (Christopher Walken) plans to sell the family farm to his American nephew (Jon Hamm), Anthony is jolted into pursuing his dreams in this comedic, moving and wildly romantic tale.

Critics Consensus

Fatally undermined by dodgy accents and a questionable story, Wild Mountain Thyme is a baffling misfire for a talented filmmaker and impressive cast.

Loud and obnoxious...quite astonishingly panned, and it's so bad that there's an outside possibility it might become a marginal cult classic. But honestly? I doubt it.

Shanley has an Oscar and a Pulitzer (he wrote the sublime Moonstruck, and the stage and screen versions of Doubt). Here, that's easy to forget...

Paddywhackery of the highest order is delivered in this execrable rom-com that's almost surreal in its unashamed awfulness.

Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan's rural romance is cliched, earnest and all over the place.

...a mostly compelling and ingratiating endeavor that fares best in its low-key first half...

The script feels old-fashioned, offering contrasting results throughout the duration of the movie: sometimes it is adorable, sometimes reprehensible. Nevertheless, it offers warm moments filled with nostalgic longing for romantic epics.

Just watched this on Netflix. Maybe you need to be in the mood for an Irish Rom Com but I loved it! Emily blunts character was beguiling. The scenery was beautiful. The story was sweet and the dialogue was funny. What more can you ask for. I saw it was made by the same man who did Moonstruck which tracks since I loved that too.

This movie doesn’t have a traditional love story but I today’s world with men possibly more shy for whatever reason, I found this story refreshing. I think there would be more coupling if women spoke up more .

I love this movie! It is my comfort movie for when I'm feeling down. I love Emily and Jamie relationship, the animals, the music, the song, the beautiful cinematography of the countryside. It is such an escape film for me.
