Trivia:
The movie was dedicated to Frankie Sheridan, the late brother of the director and writer Jim Sheridan. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The air-conditioner is 220V. Even with a new plug it would not have worked in a 110V socket for any length of time. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Christy: [voiceover] There's some things you should wish for and some things you shouldn't. That's what my little brother Frankie told me. He told me I only had three wishes, and I looked into his eyes, and I don't know why I believed him.

The story is if a family running away from a tragedy. They find a tenement in a big city and try to survive. They do okay. Then through a neighbor who has AIDS and a new baby they learn to face their problem.
I read some of the comments of others. They all seem to be negative. I really enjoyed it. My family and I were riveted the whole time. I saw neither inconsistencies nor over melodrama. That is, I saw no more that in any other movies. All movies are just snapshots and almost all are lies. This one is no more or less in that regard. It was a melodrama about over coming tragedy. It communicated to me.
The actors were realistic. I especially enjoyed the girls. I also enjoy seeing
Sorry for you naysayers. You are just picking the nits from the nats.
