The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (1999)

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

How sad is this?

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Another triumph! This film is now number 1 in my list of the worst films I've ever seen with Ernie Goes to Prison now languishing at number 2. Why Colm Meaney got involved I cannot imagine, maybe he owes community service or something. A lot of the cast were Irish too, the worst accents were REAL! Then again I'm not in the target demographic, not even in its suburbs so I have no idea on what level I should be giving my critique, its not even that relevant. I only saw the second half of it by accident. Couldn't switch, was frozen in horror. Randy Quaid, Kieran Culkin, Zoe Wanamaker, Whoopi, what is going on? I did not expect to actually recognise much of the cast in a production like this. I'd say kids love it though so fair enough. I wont even comment on the CGI. Ooops, I just did.And we spell recognise with an s, not a z. Capeesh?

It 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.

So I really liked the other Hallmark/NBC presentations I've seen. This was a little erratic. But being a fairly optimistic person I'd rather concentrate on the good parts. Here's a big one: Daniel Betts, who played Mickey (a leprechaun) and is a sort of Irish Brad Pitt. Here's another one: Colm Meany, who played Mickey's father Seamus Muldoon (another leprechaun, duh) and was hilarious. Randy Quaid was stretching it. I like him when he's funny, but when he's attempting to do the Byronic hero I write him off--- luckily he doesn't do that very often. The human plot was definitely boring, especially when compared to that going on in faery-land, but that's okay. The dialogue was frequently bright and sharp, with some laugh-out-loud lines. And if you're planning to watch it--- look out for the Thorn Tree scene. For the romantic part of me, it was the greatest.

I got this movie for Christmas because I have been wanting it for a while. I saw it on tv I must say, this adventure truly is the type of fantasy I like to see on t.v. I am a strong believer of fairies and this movie really captures the inspiration of them. Although the Grand Banshee really had no characteristics of the true legendary Banshee, the rest had more truth in the movie to reality. I have done a lot of research and I did, in fact, find that some parts of the movie did not match the criteria of fairies. I will, however, say that most of the movie did live up to the expectations of fairieland according to humans. I could tell that the makers of the film really knew how to portray fairieland, due to research, for sure. Although, I'm sure only people like me would know what I am talking about. To sum it all up, this fairie adventure with a Shakesphere twist can really capture the hearts of believers or non-believers everywhere. I give it a 10 all the way!
