Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched. I could barely sit through it, but out of fairness, since I new I had to mention how bad it was on here, I did. Lots of bad acting, with worse acting from the lesser qualified "actors" involved, this movie is pretty damn bad. Any of the people in this movie's comments that days its even approaching 'okay' is lying out their rear. It was pathetic, it hurt me to even watch. I feel embarrassed for the couple normally decent actors involved. I realize I'm an adult, but I haven't forgotten the kid/teen movies I watched when I was younger. I mean we had lots of cheesy flicks, sure, but this wasn't even cheese, it was crap, like post-digestion cheese after its sat around in ones stomach for 48 hours and is ready to be expelled. You're better off missing this, with its horrific (even for 2001) blue screen special effects. Cliché for Disney plot, and sub par acting.Want me to describe this flick in one line? Move along, there's nothing to see here... (envision a cop trying to hide the dead body under the sheet...thats this film). Intentionally subjecting yourself to this film is an absurd self-flagellation that everyone should avoid if at all possible. If it is for your kid, go rent them Zapped or The Explorers. If you require something of Irish for your sustenance go for Darby O'Gill and the Little People, you'll thank yourself for missing this.

I really liked this movie as I am from an Irish background I know the jokes and comments that were put into this movie. The movie clearly outlines what a true Irish man is like. Ryan Merrimans acting was sensational and he knew how to do the accent which was quite surprising. The movie is very creative and a feel good movie for all. The plot for this movie was very good and the cast were perfectly fit. The movie also has a good morale to it. The movie was in genre funny,sad and dramatic all rolled in one it is a significant movie for all. I recommend watching this movie as it is an exciting movie to watch

I've never been a big fan of Disney Channel Original Movies but after seeing 'Motocrossed' and liking it, I decided to give 'Luck of the Irish' a chance. I wasn't disappointed. While I didn't like it quite as much as 'Motocrossed', it was still a good movie. It has a great lesson for kids: You should be proud of your heritage. Ryan Merriman also did a great job in this film. I have always been a fan of his work and this movie was no different. The other actors were good as well, though some of them had less than perfect Irish accents. The actor who played his best friend (Glenndon Chatman), however, was painful to watch. His acting was stilted and unbelievable. Now, as far as the plot was concerned, I thought it was pretty creative. It held my attention, anyway. I thought some scenes were a little silly and some of the Irish stereotypes were a little over the top, but I'd have to say that all-in-all, the movie did what I expected it to do. I especially like the ending; it was quite touching. But I won't spoil it for you. I recommend this movie for families to teach their children about being proud of their heritage and wanting to learn about their ancestors. I give this movie 7 out of 10.

I love this movie...try to watch it whenever it's on the Disney Channel. Being Irish I enjoy the little nuances they bring to the film, and the cast does an excellant job. It's a great family film, and it serves perfectly as an annual holiday (St. Patrick's Day)special treat. Oh, and the backgrounds in the outdoor scenes are breathtaking!
