What happens

Irish Jam is a 2006 American-British comedy-drama film directed by John Eyres, who co-wrote the script with Max Myers. It stars Eddie Griffin as an African American hustler who wins an Irish public house in a raffle and has to save the village from the clutches of an evil English landlord. Despite the majority of the film being set in Ireland, it was filmed in Scotland, and the Irish characters were all portrayed by English actors. The film received extremely negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
