Watch Leapin' Leprechauns For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

For Saint Patrick's day when I was in first grade (I'm now in college), our teacher decided to show us this movie in class. I still remember certain scenes vividly because I had awful nightmares for years after watching it. The nastier mythical creatures that come with the leprechauns from Ireland absolutely terrified me. Over the years, I described the movie to friends in an attempt to locate it, but they all met me with blank stares. I finally found it today when I did a google search. I haven't seen this movie since first grade, so I can't comment all that much on it's overall quality or scariness from a more adult perspective. However, I would strongly recommend against showing this movie to children who might be more easily frightened.

I remember being rather embarrassed about requesting this movie at the local video store; not exactly a macho title, is it? But really, how could I resist a team up between Ted "Subspecies" Nicolau and Sylvester "Doctor Who" McCoy? What an inspired combination.Of course, both of these entertainment titans have done better. It's a shame that Nicolau hasn't been picked up by mainstream Hollywood, or at least TV (HBO, maybe?), because he can direct really moody movies and squeeze some decent imagery out of tremendously low budgets. I'd like to see him cut loose on a production that actually has money in it. As for McCoy, well, he's perfect to play a leprechaun (he's often described as "puckish"), but this is a far cry from starring in his own BBC TV series. He's not the greatest actor in the universe - he gets by on personality more than talent - but I'd still like to see him do more.As for the movie itself, it's fun family stuff. Some clever effects, some duff ones (the leprechauns are pretty obviously puppets in many shots). Though it's ostensibly taking place in Ireland, the castle is actually Romanian - the same location from Subspecies! Gotta love those cost-cutters at Full Moon.

It's great fun to watch and it will bring you many laughs. It is an all-star cast who play their characters with great talent. This film should have been a box office smash. I have seen the film many times with my family and on my own, each time I watch it I never get tired of the fascinating storyline.

This movie was a total disappointment to me. when I watched it I was scared by the actual thought of the movie. The acting was all good, it was well directed. The script was very imaginitive it only lacked in the fact that few could see the leprechauns and they travelled to america. The part I found the worst was the banshee because it was not scary.This movie could have been improved to make a better movie. I am not meaning to offend anyone who took part in this movie and sorry if I did.My advice is still see this movie if you want to and judge it for yourself.
