"TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT."
"YOU'RE NOT WEARING A HAT."
"TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT SHANNON!"
Review by Patrick Willems 12

Who gives a shit if the Irish accents are bad? Tom Cruise punches a horse and it ends with the best Enya song!
Review by jonesylovesbeer ★★★★★ 2

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Tom Cruise punches a horse.
Review by gregs1999 ★★★

A heartwarming film of an Irish journey to the Americas for a new life in Oklahoma. I thought Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman did very well, and they had great chemistry. Obviously the accent is going to be brought into question, but they weren’t terrible. I loved the scene of Tom Cruise riding the horse, powering through the race, it was beautiful. A great score from John Williams as always.
Ron Howard ranked
Review by Leighton Trent ★★★ 6

""Tell me you like my hat."
"You're not wearing a hat."
"TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT, SHANNON!"
A massive, lavish 90's bullet point look at the Irish colonization of America in the late 1800's that does too much and too little all at once in telling its story... Sounds like almost every Ron Howard film actually.
While the depiction of the Land Run of 1893 is extraordinary in its scale and scope (the tactile qualities of these kinds of scenes are just gone from epic cinema now), the rest is by the Hollywood Book. Thank God Tom Cruise punches a horse and speaks with a uniquely terrible Irish brogue or I might have slumped off to sleep and veritably…
Review by projectingfilm ★★★★ 1

Nicole Kidman sees her first penis and decides she’s ready to conquer America. I don’t know what the message is but I like the enthusiasm.
Review by lucy ★★★ 2

i can't get over tom's accent like it's not that bad but it makes me laugh lmaooo
Review by Susan Howson ★★★★

Such a brilliantly overblown piece of 90s delight! I remember loving it as a child, scorning it in my 20s, and now embracing it with both 30-something arms!
Tom Cruise runs in this, although I can't remember it in any Cruise Running Montage. Everyone, update your montages!
Review by nora ★★

worth watching to hear tom cruise scream "SAY YE LOIKE MOY HAT, SHANNON" in nicole kidman's face in what has to be the WORST irish accent of all time and to see nicole kidman shove a huge pitchfork into tom cruise's leg
Review by jourdain searles 2

this is so… fun?
Review by Zoe ★★★½

home girl saw tom cruises dick once and immediately decided she had to bring him to america with her
Review by Josh Lewis ★★ 3

Tom Cruise and Ron Howard said freedom for Ireland! Kidman and Cruise follow up their Days of Thunder screen romance turned real life marriage with this nearly 2-and-a-half hour 19th-century Irish immigrant historical epic/class drama that is as dull as it is expensive. Kidman is actually quite good as the rebellious wealthy runaway and Cruise's star power has strong-armed roles that were maybe not conventionally suited to him into working before but an impoverished, accented bare-knuckle brawling farmer was maybe a tad bit ambitious. If you can stay awake, it does include a reasonably effective large scale Western recreation of an Oklahoma land run with a rousing John Williams score... Howard wanted to be Spielberg so bad.
