Agnes Browne was a surprise and a delight. I love the relationship between the two women friends. I love Marion's approach to religion and Agnes's no nonsense child rearing. The way they mispronounce words and /or misuse them throughout the movie is amusing and endearing. The quaint open air market and the Irish loan shark add a colorful dimension to a fairly predictable story line. There is one well-done twist in the story that makes the whole journey bittersweet.
