The town of Ballywood, Ireland has a cash flow problem. To avert foreclosure, the townspeople devise a poetry contest in hopes of collecting enough entry fees. Con-artist, Jimmy of South Central L.A. (Eddie Griffin), on the run from bill collectors and a jilted lover (Mo'Nique), is the lucky winner. What follows is a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy with romance, heart, and a great message about community and acceptance. (official distributor synopsis)
