Watch Southie For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Donnie Wahlberg gives a wonderful, quiet performance as Danny Quinn, a young man returning home after taking time away to get himself together. What he finds is that his sister (Rose McGowan) has become an alcoholic, one of his brothers owes money to a mafia boss, and his mother's health is deteriorating.Danny is a protagonist you'll find yourself rooting for because his dilemma is classic: how to avoid the problems of his neighborhood without insulting his family and old friends? How to be respected by the people he loves without repeating their mistakes? I know this movie is supposed to be about a particular neighborhood, but I found that the values and problems depicted in it could be found in many lower middle class areas. The only distraction was John Shea as the cop friend of Danny, who helped him get out of "Southie" (before the movie begins.) Shea did a great job directing, but he ought to have cast someone else in this role because he comes across as frantic and almost annoying. But nevermind that; his role is small. Rent "Southie." This is a great alternative to Hollywood's usual version of blue collar life. Real clothes, real cars, real houses, real life.

I found this film to be well written and directed. The characters were likeable, for the most part, and the situation was realistic. What I liked most about this movie was Donnie Wahlberg's performance. Raw, gritty, and full of loyalty and heart. I gave this movie a 9 out 10. It would have gotten a 10 had Donnie spoke up a little. You could barely hear some lines! New Kids fans will enjoy seeing this kid all grown up (and the soundtrack isn't half bad either)!

As a personal friend of some of the actors I must say that this film is great. I have seen this film and it is outstanding. You should have seen the crowds on Nantucket in June of 1998 trying to catch a glimpse of this movie. The acting is superb and the sountrack is even better. After two years of trying to get this movie on the big screen it is finally going to get its spotlight in the theaters.

I saw SOUTHIE at the Montreal World Film Festival. I was impressed really, there is no other way to describe it. This film is poignant and true to life. The characters are believable and evoke strong feelings. Rose McGowan's portrayal of a young woman struggling with alcoholism was REAL, Donnie Wahlberg's character Danny Quinn battling to do the right thing, when it's the hardest thing to do was REAL! Wow, you leave the theater with your heart in your hand.
