‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ is a confusing Irish love story without Irish or story

Grade: 2.5/5.0
A movie about idyllic Ireland and the trials of love and loss should be a recipe for success. However, in “Wild Mountain Thyme,” badly timed comedy rears its ugly head, thrashing through the film and trampling every tender moment shakily built by its cast.
The film centers on a young Irish woman named Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt), who is desperately in love with her childhood neighbor, Anthony Reilly (Jamie Dornan). Unfortunately for her, he’s too caught up in earning ownership of his family farm from his ailing father (Christopher Walken), who insists on selling it to Anthony’s more competent American cousin, Adam (Jon Hamm).

1/2
Ask any actor, Irish accents are notoriously tricky. Even natives can struggle with regional dialects. So it is a little alarming that the first voice you hear in “Wild Mountain Thyme” is Christopher Walken s, who sounds exactly like you think Walken attempting an Irish accent would. It is a bold choice, certainly, and not the most solid footing to start out on. Still it might be worth giving this odd little duckling of a film a chance.
“Wild Mountain Thyme” is the brainchild of John Patrick Shanley, the Oscar, Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner behind “Doubt” and “Moonstruck.”
