A film starring Janeane Garofalo: she plays the assistant to a Boston politician who wants to capitalize on his Irish heritage. Janeane goes over to the ulde sod to find a good photo op for the politician. She lands in the midst of an annual matchmaking convention.

It turns out that the politician is not actually Irish at all, and the funniest scene is one in which some of the locals pretend to be the politician's dirt-poor family.

A cute film, and especially cute is the bit about knocking heads.

I like it!
