Striking up a conversation with a mysterious stranger named Vito (Karl Shiels), Mike accepts a 10,000-dollar wager to become a certified war ace. The catch? Vito isn't just your average benevolent patriot, but the nephew of notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone. Now, in order to avoid the wrath of public enemy number one, Lieutenant Clark takes to the skies with guns blazing. But just as Lieutenant Clark prepares to shoot down his fifth German plane, he's forced to make an emergency landing in Ireland. Will Lieutenant Clark find a way to repair his plane and make good on his wager, or has he already flown his final sortie? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Waiting for Dublin can't end soon enough. Full Review

Nathan Lee, New York Times

Stiff acting and a clunky script are at odds with the visual suavity, though at a mere 83 minutes, the film won't make you wait long for the sentimental denouement. Full Review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

A movie so unendurably bad it deserves to be put down like a sick dog. Full Review

Now and then comes an Irish comedy that pinches your cheek so hard in its attempt to charm the only recourse is to hole up with a triple bill of fatalistic Romanian dramas. And quickly Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The actors are pleasant, the locations (County Galway) are beautiful, but the movie is a wheeze. Full Review

Its shrill amateurishness makes it feel homemade in all the wrong ways. Full Review

One more bad choice you can make around St. Patrick's Day. Full Review
