Boring, long, and too preachy.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is truly one of the greats as far as movies go And along with south by south west is my favourite Murder She Wrote Movie From the opening scene as camera soars of the beautiful Ireland landscape With the equally beautiful song second chance playing your hooked It's such an amazing movie you must watch it If you are a Murder She Wrote fan and haven't seen it watch it trust me If you are a MSW Fan and have watch it again If you have never experienced MSW please watch it and discover one of the greatest shows the world has produced As for the movie Jessica Fletcher a crime writer travels to Ireland to attend A friends will reading only to be dragged into a clue driven hunt for her friends secret treasure

It is good to see Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) back in action in the fourth TV movie after the Murder, She Wrote TV series ended. This time, Jessica travels to Ireland to attend the reading of an old acquaintance's will, which contains clues to a secret treasure. The hunt for the treasure leads the strained family to search for it, and Jessica to solve a murder mystery.This movie possesses the same charm, sleuth tactics and plot twists and turns of the TV series, and is filled with some intriguing and unique plot elements, particular the Ireland setting. The classic treasure-hunt aspect also gives the movie a unique flavor and it adds onto the suspense in the good-paced plot. Lansbury does her role well as always, as does the rest of the actors, who pulled off their roles quite nicely. With all the finger-pointing and unpredictability elements in the movie, you would be eager to find the answer to the "whodunit" question and would be captivated by this overall TV movie, which is another nice throwback to the heyday of the TV series.Grade B+

The film the Celtic riddle is a legendary piece of film art. Jessica fletcher at her finest (as always). The plot infallible, the characters despite the badly fake Irish accents are what we would call shadows to Angela's amazing acting abilities. I find Jessica's ability to spot a large haematoma on the back of someones head from a great distance to be an amazing talent. One which many a health-care professional could do with. Despite the Northern Licence Plates in what should be a film set in the south of Ireland. Being Irish myself I find it is not very often that Northern licence plates are found in the Republic, especially not on police cars, which by the way should be the Garda.Despite these errors, minor flaws, I still find the Celtic riddle to be the greatest film to be released in 2003. I wish Angela Lansbury all the best in future film making, hoping she does return to Ireland as Jessica Fletcher, taking on-board my constructive criticism of course.Lots of Luv and respect From Louise Brick

I cringed when I saw this film. Sections of it may have been filmed in Ireland but that's where any Irish connection ends. Fionnuala Flanagan is the only Irish actor of note in the film and she has lived in the USA for the last 34 years. Hardly any other member of the cast or production team is Irish, including those with Irish sounding names. The stage-Irish accents are appalling and you are unlikely to encounter such an accent anywhere in Ireland. Strange as it may seem Irish people don't speak like the leprechauns of 1930s Hollywood films.I thought they gave up making this type of gombeen Irish film forty years ago. It seems I was wrong. Go back to Cabot Cove Angela!
