Agnes Browne hums along as a series of pleasant vignettes, only frantically shifting to a single narrative track in its third act for the sake of an unbelievably upbeat ending.
75
A standout feature of the movie is its representation of female friendship.
63
This is a modest but likable film, and Anjelica Huston plays a heroine who makes us smile.
60
It is -- in mood, execution, and shameless sentimentality -- a Bette Midler movie with an Irish accent.
60
A generally well-made tale of humor and hard luck.
50
The movie's strength is in its comedy; a tragic subplot feels merely manipulative.
30
A character-driven piece with a character who seems somewhat hollow.
