disgusting, overrated, pointless
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreI love fantasy and fairy tales. I don't particularly like Romeo and Julia but I can stomach such a theme if the movie has something more to offer. With a fairy girl falling in love with a leprechaun boy that sounds good. I liked that particular story and the scenes that involved leprechauns and fairies were all nice to watch. The inclusion of humans as sub or main story (not really sure) who also become involved in the war between leprechauns and fairies was a bad idea in my opinion. The human characters were not likable and I couldn't care less about them but since they get involved into the fantasy world you simply cannot ignore them. I would have enjoyed it much more if they just concentrated on the fairies and leprechauns leaving the humans out completely. Second problem is the length. This story could have been easily be told in 2 hours or less. It's a pity as I loved it first time viewing but second time it dragged on and on.

If you have no imagination and enjoy stunting the growth of creative minds, you probably won't like this movie. The storyline did have some throwbacks to classic themes, but it was done in such a way that it wasn't tiresome. The scenery was beautiful and anyone that loves Ireland will enjoy seeing the blue skies and rolling green hills. Whomever designed the costumes for the characters must have had fun. The were very pretty and fit the personalities of the respective wearers. Anyone that enjoys a little magic will enjoy this movie.
View MoreBe prepared when you are watching this movie, that you need to check your expectations at the door. As other reviews have said, this movie is full of "borrowed" story lines but it is still a classic. If you don't care about the characters, the movie won't matter to you. At first I found it to be so full of clichés and cheesiness that I couldn't believe I was watching it. Then I realized I had been drawn in and had to see where the characters ended up. Have to admit, big crush on Mickey Muldoon. His storyline with Princess Jessica to me was the heart of the movie. I wasn't as interested in the Jack and Kathleen storyline because I did not find Jack all that appealing. My apologies to Randy Quaid, he wasn't all that charming or anything, I am not sure why Kathleen fell in love with him. Roger Daltrey was laughable and Whoopi Goldberg seemed out of place as an American Grand Banshee. As an American enamored with Irish culture, I did not enjoy the American presence in the film. So as goofy as this movie was, I couldn't turn it off and it stuck with me. Just don't have super high expectations!
View MoreIt is the old story of a boy and a girl in love who are forbidden to love each other because they come from two different worlds who hate each other. Yes, it's "Romeo and Juliet", it's "West Side Story" and I even would go so far to say that there'S a little bit Rose and Jack in it but never before has this story been told in such a charming way. Here, it's a story within the story. An American businessman comes to Ireland in order to check the location and prepare everything for his American company who wants to build a golf territory in Western Ireland. At his second day of Arrival, the businessman by chance saves the life of a Leperchaun which means that the Leperchaun is devoted to him for the rest of his life. Through this incident the businessman gets to know another, magical parallel world that exists in the real human world. The parallel world has mainly two groups of human-like beings in it, the Leperchauns and the Fairys. The Leperchauns are lazy, always playing tricks on somebody and always in trouble. The Fairys on the other hand, are royal, prissy and always trying to make the world beautiful - they are responsible for the appearance of flowers and trees, e.g. for the perfect shape of the leaves and so on. Now, the son of the Leperchaun whose life the businessman saved, Mickey, falls for Jessica, a fairy and the daughter of the Fairy king. Of course this leads to trouble and you can guess how the story will go on, but it's still a pleasure to watch.The movie is a feast of colours, nature and music, always with a bit magic in the air. Besides, the cast is brilliant. We've got Colm Meany as the Leperchaun dad, Daniel Betts as his charming son Mickey, Caroline Carver as Princess Jessica and - watch out - Whoopie Goldberg as the Big Banshee, a goddesslike creature observing all that goes on in the magical work. The movie might not be a big piece of cinema, but is really charming and a pleasure to see. It is crowned by a great music score and the title song "Fly away" performed by Emma Townsend.
