Far and Away

Starring: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman

Everyone’s favorite Scientologist couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star in this drama about impoverished Ireland and the American Dream.

Tom Cruise is Joseph, a small tenant farmer’s son who tries to fight for his rights against the cruel tyrant landlord who turns out to be a nice guy. Joseph and his family represent everything that is stereotypical about the Irish- they love to drink, and sing and live in a small hovel and fight a lot. He gets mixed up with the spirited yet naive daughter of the landlord, Shannon (Kidman), and they go to America, so she can spy on his butt-crack through a hole in her dressing-screen. Joe becomes a prize fighter, where he finds respect, money, and Chief O’Brien, of course. Shannon plucks chickens and learns a little humility. They eventually go West and discover the American Dream, but not before Joe gets resurrected from the dead.
