synopsis

Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) stars as Lucy, the youngest of three sisters - and the first to lay eyes on Adam (Stuart Townsend, Shooting Fish), a new face at the Dublin restaurant where she waitresses. A bubbly, naive romantic, Lucy is instantly swept off her feet by his sensitivity, charisma and adventurousness. Best of all, he fits into Lucy’s close-knit family and it’s not long before they have all fallen for his charms. But Adam’s impressionable personality also makes him the perfect man for Lucy’s sisters: Laura (Frances O’Connor), a bookish academic with a weakness for poetry, and Alice (Charlotte Bradley), the eldest, who can’t resist his appeal to her maturity and experience. Even their brother (Alan Maher) is mesmerised and begins to question his sexual preferences as they all realise that there really is something About Adam. This is a delightfully wicked comedy set in Ireland that’s guaranteed to please.
