This is a great movie for those who are proud of their Irish Heritage!

I've always enjoy a good 'Wee Folk' movie...and I rank this with my other fav of Irish Disney, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People". Sean Connery doesn't sing in this one..or even appear in it but this, "Luck of the Irish", is a great flick; 'bout a teen-age learning about his Irish heritage...

Give it a chance..heh why not suprise someone with one of the two for ST. PATRICK'S DAY (March 17th for all those non-believers)

I love this Disney movie, and so do my young daughters. We laughed and laughed as Kyle's luck turned from good to bad... and he begins turning into a leprechaun - all because his "lucky charm" is stolen.

The movie brings up an important subject of family heritage... something that we all have. Kyle is not interested in anything of his own until he believes his parents are hiding it from him... with that and his sudden bad luck and the physical changes his mother and him take on... Kyle is the answer to preserving that history, and saving his good fortune of being an American.

At the end of the movie, you will want to stand up and sing along with the final song. This is a warm, feel-good, family movie... good for kids of all ages, and a great way to get your children interested in their own family heritage.

Okay, first of all, I have to say that most of the Disney Channel Original Movies tend to get, well, stupid. Bad plots, cheesy dialogue, complete lunacy all around. This movie, however, is totally NOT all of the above. The acting is great, the make-up is cool (the pointy ears are so cute! And Ryan's red hair! He should keep it like that, it looks awesome!) and the dialogue is sharp and witty, letting you think about the sight gags instead of saying it plain out. Then end of the basketball game against Seamus is a bit over-done, but other than that, nothing is corny. Ryan Merriman seems to have great chemistry with all the other actors, and the way he reacts when he finds out his mom's a lephrecon is hilarious. (::giggles insanely at the look on his face::)
All in all, I have to say this is one of the few Disney Channel movies I could watch again and again.

I first saw this movie in 2001, when it was produced for the Disney Channel. ST. Patty's Day was on the weekend that year, and it was raining. My little brother and I (17 at the time) were home alone, fell in love with this movie, and watched it twice more that weekend. Ever since, we watch to try and catch it every year. Now, we don't have to.
True, this follows typical Disney Channel Original Movie Style, sometimes seeming overacted or cheesy. But for the most part, it makes for an extremely culturally informative and fun adventure the whole family can enjoy, or at least appreciate.

I've seen "The Luck Of The Irish" many times on the Disney channel, and I can proudly say it is my favourite movie. Most of my friends have never seen it, let alone heard of it, but that does not change my opinion. I would recommend this movie for anyone, young or old. All in all, this movie is awesome, and it explores friendship, love, and heritage. Now I'm not just saying this movie rocks because I am Irish, but it truely is a good movie and I can garuntee that if you watch it, you will love it

I was very pleased with the quality of the VHS video, "Luck of the Irish." And it arrived in a timely fashion.

The seller delivered as promised. I had the product within three to four calendar days. The quality of the video was good.

Only thing that could have been better would be the issuance on DVD, but that isn't the seller's deal.

My family has the vhs and always wished it would be released on dvd, I think it would sell a lot. This movie is inaccurate in a lot of ways with the culture and accents, but it's not supposed to be a documentary or historical film. It's supposed to be funny mixed with a little mind stimulation for your own "roots". Being Irish myself I'm not insulted at all, I laughed right along with everyone else. The Irish have great senses of humor and love a good "tale". Well done Disney. :-))

Bought it as a birthday gift. If you like basketball and good family entertainment, give it a look.

My daugther really loves this movie. She has watched it a number of times since I got it for her.
