... View MoreGreat Film overall
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreSweet, but clumsy and hapless nerd Bill Higgins (a likable portrayal by Steven Cooke) befriends drunken leprechaun Lepkey (an irritatingly hearty turn by Gary Kluger, who speaks in a horribly fake overdone Irish accent), who helps Bill win over the favor of his cheerleader dream girl Krissi Schackler (tasty long-haired blonde dish Lezlie Z. McGraw). However, arrogant macho jock Tony (badly overplayed to the obnoxious hilt by buff hunk Rick McDowell) doesn't take it lightly that Bill wants Krissi for his own. Writer/director Michael Paul Girard maladroitly covers all the essential so-wrong-they're-paradoxically-right craptastic low-budget schlock flick bases: crummy acting from a game, but lame no-name cast, tin-eared dialogue, crude and leering jokes about such things as sex, condoms, and losing one's virginity, lousy (far from) special effects, a few dippy romantic musical montages, one-note cardboard characters, a truly off-the-wall last third, clunky cinematography, and, most importantly, a gloriously ludicrous "you gotta be kidding me!" premise that comes complete with the inevitable dopey surprise ending. Best and most gut-busting protracted dumb gag: Bill finds himself trapped in Krissi's panties after Lepkey accidentally shrinks him down to miniature size. Moreover, there's also the token obligatory yummy gratuitous girls' locker room shower set piece and a cool'n'bouncy soft-rock soundtrack. A hilariously horrendous hoot and a half.
... View MoreMy best friend wrote it and directed it and asked me to come over for free and do this stupid thing, oh, and yes I'm not an actor (could you tell? Micheal went on to do a bunch of these things and he actually lives off the money to this day! I think it cost about 3 grand to make. Anyhow, have fun peoples.. I'm Nubbs by the way.

... View MoreI saw this movie once, at least 10 years ago, on 'USA Up All Night w/ Gilbert Godfried' and I still recall most of the movie. I remember it being really corny, but quite funny. This film is very much along the same lines as "Zapped" and "Revenge of the Nerds" with a 90's twist. And the scene where he shrinks and he's in the girl's underwear is a classic scene that sticks in my memory to this day. It's a tragedy that this movie is not available on DVD or even video, for that matter. I give it 8 out of 10 votes.
... View MoreGetting Lucky, a largely inept and amateurish exploitation flick, follows the adventures of a stereotypical high school nerd in love with the pretty blonde (and bland) cheerleader. Upon finding a leprechaun in a beer bottle, our hero goes on a series of tepid misadventures on the way to the obligatory happy ending. The film is only worth watching for the memorable, eye-opening scene in which the foibles of the incompetent leprechaun accidentally bring the cheerleader to a shattering orgasm in the middle of history class (Lezlie Z. McCraw is at least as convincing as Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally). Beyond this, expect a ridiculous, insipid waste of time with a vomit-inducing final reel that throws in everything from a barbarian to a nest of hornets.
