Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

When I discovered Moone Boy, I found the answer to everything I'd hoped for in a series, considering my love for things Irish! It is the story of Martin Moone, a boy growing up in Roscommon, with three scary older sisters and a helpful imaginary friend named Sean Murphy. As the series continues, wonderful new characters come into the picture: Padraic, the comical best friend; Dessie, the church musician and love interest for older sister Fidelma; the Bonner Brothers and their hapless dad; Granddad Moone, who used to be a musician in the old days; the parish priest, who is a very nice guy, but harried; the mom's slutty friend; and a family of travelers which includes Martin's love interest. This show just gives and gives! And I LOVE the opening song, "Where's Me Jumper?".

This show first came to my attention on a NYS station from Long Island. I was a fan of Chris O'Dowd's, but hadn't seen or heard of any of the other cast members. From the first episode I became a fan. It's a very clever, and original, premise. One of the things I enjoy the most about the show is that even though the imaginary friend is portrayed as an adult, he doesn't have any more smarts than the schoolboy who thought him up. The fractured family dynamic, with the financial and interpersonal struggles, plays very well, too. It weaves in the charm of small Irish towns with some consistently funny writing and plots. I hope that this show sticks around for many more years, at least until Martin gets through high school, because it's one of the shows I look forward to seeing every week.

Moone boy's charm is in its heart and it's firmly in the right place. At its core, it's a coming of age comedy/drama about a boy and his imaginary friend. There are so many poignant moments that it may be deserving of a second viewing. If you were a kid growing up in the late 80's and early 90's you're more likely to get the humour but there's humour aplenty for everyone. I was never a fan of Chris O' Dowd (I thought his humour bland) but it works here and in the right places. The first series is the better as it dips in the second, hence the nine out of ten rating, still Moone Boy hits much more than it misses and I recommend it highly.

Great show! The small Irish locale has lots of charm, and the characters are both entertaining and familiar. he show invokes a powerful feeling of nostalgia, and I would recommend it for anyone. It primarily revolves around the changing life of a small boy, and a small Irish family who are always using their wits to get ahead, or at the very least catch up. The plots are both ironic, and dramatic, but the humor is light-hearted and sarcastic, making it a great show for all ages. The characters are fascinating, but easily identifiable. The setting is exiting but familiar. the humor is both thought-provoking and childish. As I said there is truly something for everyone here, and it reminds us all about a powerful lesson- live life on your own terms.
