5.0 out of 5 stars Fall in love with Ireland, October 3, 2000

By 

Tamara Rape (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (DVD)

This movie literally made me fall in love....with Ireland, it's legends, it's music and especially with a certain leprechaun named Mickey Muldoon (Daniel Betts, a phenominal young actor.) The story was creative while staying true to the old Irish tales, and Shakespear's "Romeo and Juliet" theme was never used to better advantage. There were a few incongruities, and Randy Quaid and Whoopi Goldberg seemed to be cast only for their star-power. Also, while my young teenaged daughters enjoyed the whole movie, the smaller children thought that the sections encompassing the human love story were a bit long. But when the movie focused on the actual "faerie story" it was truly captivating for all involved. The vast majority of the acting was superb, the musical score was enchanting, the special effects were very well done, and the entire experience was extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who ever had a romantic bone in their body, ever loved a fairy tale, or ever dreamed of Ireland.

This review is from: The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I couldn't beleive the two negative reviews I saw posted, but was heartened to see the rest were overwhelmingly positive. They should be. This is a lovely, tender, humorous bit of fantasy. The acting is superb, the special effects are some of the best I have seen, and the director shows a deft hand in presenting a good script. This is a movie that stays with you long after you see it, and you often wish there were such an enchanted land. Well, there is, and you can visit it every time you watch this movie. Thanks for making this type of movie and for the wonderful job you did on it. Don't let the snobs and other nay-sayers discourage you. The vast majority of us loved it and want more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting magical movie, March 18, 2002

By 

"harrycanary" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (DVD)

I saw this movie on television one night and even though I am 20 years old and into strategy and computer games I was still truly touched. Ihe magical storyline, the Irish setting, and the enchanting music were exellently put together for a great movie. The story is basically a Romeo and Juliet setup except instead of their two families you have their two races, Fairies and Leprechauns. Throw in some lovable funny characters and Whoopie Goldberg as the grand banshee and you have a romantic comedy in a fantasy setting. I highly recommend this great family movie to anyone, as it is an enjoyable movie for all ages. I hope everyone will enjoy The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns as much as I did. The magic will take you away!
