Manions of America

We finally got around to viewing the movie. The story is fine, if you can understand the dialogue. The sound quality is terrible. This wasn't the first time I watched this film. I didn't have difficulty understanding it before on other media. We can't loan this to anyone; we couldn't even give it away; that's how bad it is. WE'RE SO DISAPPOINTED; WE'D BEEN HOPING TO FIND THIS FILM ON DISK FOR QUITE AWHILE. We intend to return this for refund.

This is the first show I saw Pierce Brosnan in and boy did he leave an impression. With his blue eyes and cheeky looks. An emotional story about the plight in Ireland and the love engendered by the people for their country. The all consuming love of a woman for a man above all else. A lovely series to have in any collection.

Manions of America is an Irish family's saga similar to the mini-series, "Roots." It is the story of a brother and sister from Ireland and their struggle to make ends meet along with the love they shared with their English spouses. Manions of America too is a more than six hour long lesson in Irish/American history.

I really enjoy watching Pierce Brosnan and this wasn't a bad period movie. I'm part Irish so it was interesting and somewhat sad how the Irish people were treated then. Fast shipping and product was in good condition.

It was very interesting to learn this was Pierce Brosnan first movie. It has a good story about an Irish immigrant moving to Philadelphia. Pierce did a great job acting the lead role as a successful businessman. Good picture quality in Widescreen 16.9 with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

We found it hard to understand the dialog with the heavy Irish accents in the first half of the mini-series. Also the story bogged down here and there when not watching it spread over several nights...in otherwords, it could have been shortened for keeping the story going when watching it on disk. But Pierce is always gorgeous and great to look at.

Great film about the potato famine in Ireland. It shows how immigrants had to leave their homelands and family behind to make a living in America. When they could they brought their families over to join them. They were not afraid to work hard to get ahead. This was one of Pierce's earlier movies before his teeth were fixed.

This movie is a farmer an Irish family traced from poverty to eminence in America.the famer meets up with the English lady he fell in love with they reunite again, Then the civil war breaks out.very entertaining movie.Lots of action and drama and love. Wonderful movie.

I watched this mini series in one sitting.It's an amazing romantic look at Ireland and the USA just before, during and after the civil war. Pierce Brosnan and Kate Mulgrew sizzle with chemistry from their first scene. If you love either of these actors or the period, then this is the DVD for you.

We just loved this miniseries. It's not the biggest budget mini series ever but there are some good performances.I'm also a big fan of Kate Mulgrew who's also great in this.

A DVD for when you want to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy an easy to watch programme.

excellent

i love it :)
