Desmond Doyle is devastated when his wife abandons their family on the day after Christmas. His unemployment, and the fact that there is no woman in the house to care for the children—Evelyn, Dermot and Maurice—make it clear to the authorities this is an untenable situation. The Catholic Church and the Irish courts decide to put the Doyle children into Church-run orphanages.

Based on a true story and a very emotional film. When unemployed Desmond Doyle’s wife leaves him and his 3 kids he is faced with with the challenge of trying to get his kids back as they have been with the nuns of the Catholic Church. This story is about his efforts to find work, stop drinking and find representation that takes his case to the Supreme Court. A heartwarming story with some laughs and a lot of heart. A great watch.

I recently watched this after first seeing it maybe ten years ago. It wasn’t quite as good as I remembered. I mean, I like it okay, but without Pierce Brosnan in it, I am not sure I would have stayed through it.

It is a harmless enough story, based on fact, about an Irishman who likes his drink More
