Mrs Brown, along with many other Irish ladies is a proud
stall owner on Moor Street (a famous market street in Dublin). So when a
developer becomes interested in buying the space in order to build something
new, the locals club together to fight back. But when Mrs Brown receives a tax
bill of over €4 million left over from her the previous owner of the stall –
her grandma, she’s tempted to give in.
With everyone determined not to allow Moor Street to be
taken over, Mrs Brown secretly fights her temptation to take the money in order
to save her house. But when she discovers someone saw her grandma pay the tax
bill years before, she finds her fighting spirit and enlists her family to help
prove her innocence resulting in a hilarious change of events which had me
laughing out loud.
As a fan of the TV show, I wasn’t sure what to expect from
the movie having heard mixed reviews. So when I received the DVD as a Christmas
present I was eager to watch it in order to have my own opinion.
Although I found the movie funny and enjoyable, I can
understand what some people possibly didn’t like about it as it’s obviously
different than the TV show, but equally as good in my opinion.
A natural extension
of the show, the movie gave Brendan O’Carroll a longer time slot in which to showcase
his talent as an actor as well as a writer along with his friends and various
family members who appear in the cast and I would champion seeing it again.
