What happens

Waiting for Dublin is a 2007 war romantic comedy film directed by Roger Tucker and starring Andrew Keegan, Hugh O'Conor and Jade Yourell. The film follows Mike Clarke (Keegan), an American pilot in the midst of World War II who makes an emergency landing in a remote Ireland village during a bet and starts a romantic relationship with one of the villagers. Originally entering production in 2003, Waiting for Dublin's production was troubled due to multiple financing issues, causing filming to be delayed by three years. Film studio Corsan resumed production with a new crew in 2006, which led to protests by the film's original crew. Waiting for Dublin premiered at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June 2007, and received a limited theatrical release from Cinema Libre Studio on March 13, 2009. The film received negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
