The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns Trailers

American businessman Jack Woods rents a cottage on the enchanted Emerald Isle which is occupied by a family of leprechauns. Leprechaun Seamus Muldoon's son and son's friends crash the fairies' costume ball and Muldoon's son falls in love with fairy Princess Jessica. Their love re-ignites a feud between the leprechauns and the fairies, which escalates into a war. The Grand Banshee warns of terrible consequences and Jack Woods is chosen to make peace. Woods interrupts his own romance with an Irish beauty to help, and becomes involved in a strange and wonderful magical adventure.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Such a wonderful love story with the brilliant message that love conquers all! This film will bring out the child in all and take you away to a wondrous world of leprechauns and fairies. I find anything with Robert Hamli Snr. involved in it is worth watching and this is no exception! A star studded cast including Randy Quiad, Whoopi Goldberg, Colm Meaney and Kieran Culkin plus a few fresh faces makes this movie a definite one to watch. The lovely scenery is inescapably one of the best features of this film next to the high class cast and crew! Fun for the whole family and fantasy lovers alike! Daniel Betts makes for the eye candy in this family friendly film! Absolutely fabulous!

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?

This TV film suffers from being too long, and from playing quite heavily on certain stereotypes of the Irish. Leaving out the 'happy Irish leprechauns doing the Riverdance' scenes would have improved things immensely. The special effects are pretty good for a TV film, and the actors are mostly good in their roles, especially Colm Meaney as Seamus Muldoon. It's unfortunate that Irish legends are so twisted in the story, especially where the Banshee has been turned into some kind of benevolent spirit, played by a very bored-looking Whoopi Goldberg.
