Sadly Over-hyped

Purely Joyful Movie!

best movie i've ever seen.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This was by far the best "Disney channel original movie" ever. It is funny, good plot, and a great cast. The special effects were kind of corny but so what. This movie is a great family movie and I could watch it 20 times over before I get bored. A personal favorite.This movie is a thousand times better than Cadet Kelly and 10 times better than The Even Stevens Movie but not as good as Get A Clue. A funny, clever, lighthearted movie. Even teenagers will like this movie and that is saying something. This movie probably could have made a lot of money if it had come out in theaters, because Herbie fully loaded did and if Herbie can do it than the Irish sure can. This movie also teaches you a lot about Irish heritage and if you watch close enough you can learn some stuff.10/10

The plot was really bad. This kid finds out he is a leprechaun and he loses his lucky coin so he has to find it to save his family. The main boy(Ryan Merriman) was good. I think he is a pretty talented actor. His best friend was a pretty good actor too.

Or is it "preserve"? Don't see this awful, straight-to-Disney-Channel-movie, or you will be shouting in pain when it is over. Now, I will take you behind the minds of the writers:I can just see some guys in a room, coffee in hand, thinking of something to put in this movie. BRAINSTORMER 1 What characters should we use?The Irish-American "duh?" generation teen. The token black kid (no racist comment intended - I took that statement from the front cover of some movie I saw at the rental store!). Your stereotypical Irish Grandfather. (Aye!) Hokey effects and a dumb plot thought of in a five minute brainstorming session.With that in mind, you've got the outline for the film. Next, let's think what the writers were thinking of in mind of a director:McG Steven Spielberg Steven Seagal The Wachowski Brothers Someone With No Talent (Well, That Negatives McG and Seagal!) Someone With Talent (That negatives the rest)So what are we left with? NO ONE, which is who I would think WAS behind this movie. No one. That's how awful it is.This is low 100 material, I'm telling you. All it needs is 600 votes....1/5 stars -John Ulmer

Honestly this movie was not that good. I had looked foward to watching it, but was highly disapointed. It's kind of stupid, his friends act so casual when he shrinks, and grows leprechaun ears! I mean come on, the mom is 5 inches tall and friend just acts like. "Is that you?" I would only give this movie about 3/10 stars.
