Running Time: 96 Minutes

The age of chivalry is not dead after all. Well, at least not in Stefan Schwartz's romantic comedy, set in late 18th century Ireland.
In 1700’s Ireland the law was that the eldest sons inherited everything whilst any younger sons either entered the priesthood or married well.  This movie is based on the true events of the younger sons who banded together to form the ‘Abduction Club”.  The idea of this club was to abduct wealthy unmarried women and to persuade them to be married to one of the younger sons.  Once consent is obtained they are married thereby not giving their families the opportunity to do anything about it.

He Says: Quite a surprising and enjoyable film. Not being a fan of period dramas, I expected a drab performance full of boring actors faffing around in uncomfortable costumes, however the skill of the actors and the well written story based on true events, turned this into a film I watched twice

She Says:  Expecting a crappy movie I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie.  The scenery was stunning and the main characters were very likeable, the fact that they were good looking didn’t hurt either.  This was a funny and charming movie that left me with a pleasant feeling once it ended.
