Tierrney: Have you discovered Ouzo, yeah?
Eric: Actually, I don't drink...
Tierrney: Aww... When God made the grape, He said, "Give it to the Greeks, they know what to do with it."
Tierrney: [Holding a bottle of Ouzo] Look at that: one hundred percent Greek - produced nowhere else on the planet. It's not just a drink, it's a way of life. It's a passport to life. Yes. It's the lubricant that smoothes out the rough patches on these roads. It's a smile, laddie. A laugh. A salute to the sun and the breeze and the color of the sea. Here, take a whiff.
Eric: [Sniffs the glass, not showing much interest] I'm sure it's...
Tierrney: [Cutting him off] Distilled, right? Right! And not a drop of sugar added, so, no awkward ghastly side effects, and no hangovers. It's a bloody miracle. What a pity your father never acquired a taste for it.
The formula (exotic location, culture clash, boy gets/loses/gets girl, etc.) is a workable formula. But this one seemed like a first draft of a story that needed many re-writes before it became a workable script. The formulaic plot never generated interest. Matthew Modine's character had no discernible appealing qualities, and Richard Griffiths is uncomfortably grotesque to watch. Agni Scott is beautiful and managed to make something of her role, as did Hristos Valavanidis in an amusing turn as the mayor.
