DVD Extras: Presented in audio options 5.1 & 2.0. The disc contains various extras, including trailer, interviews with cast & director & b-roll footage. However, the interviews are sloppily edited, while the b-roll footage consists of little than various inconsequential outtakes, which look like they've been grabbed randomly from the cutting room floor & sellotaped together.

Directed by playwright Gerard Stembridge, About Adam is a charmingly funny romantic comedy set against an unusually trendy Dublin backdrop. Adam is the sweetly bashful young man for whom singing bistro waitress Lucy falls. She introduces him to her family who adore him, she proposes marriage to him from onstage, he accepts. However, in a clever series of flashbacks & alternative narrative perspectives, we see that Adam has shown very different sides of his character & told a very different story about himself in seducing Lucys bookish sister Laura , her older, unhappily married sister Alice & even inducing a deeply embarrassing boyish infatuation in young brother David. Two questions arise; which of these is the real Adam? And will he be exposed & punished as a bounder?

The resolution, when it comes, is as pleasingly unpredictable as the film itself, which not only resolutely avoids the usual rustic clichés of skirling soundtracks & verdant scenery usually deployed in Irish films, but, in its deceptively light way, poses some pertinent questions about romance, fidelity & truth, while filling you with a warm glow.
