Magical Legend of the Leprechauns

I've always loved this movie. It came in perfect condition.

Great movie

I watched this movie first on TV when it premiered. Only downfall I have with the DVD I bought was it is not captioned or has subtitles. I was disappointed in this, but other than that, it's a wonderful movie

This DVD is a happy mixed-bag of the modern and the magically mystical, set in Ireland with its breathtakingly beautiful country vistas and seashore, and the storybook presentation of a modern/magical conflict that culminates in the "True Values of Life, Love, and Laughter" winning out over desperate circumstances at the very end. All the characters are well developed--Randy Quaid's performance showing him to be a truly talented actor as he usually is--and with the supporting cast of seasoned and similar stuff--plus a few new faces who did well in their roles. The special effects I give 4-Stars but taking into account that this film is dated, they were spot-on for the time it was filmed. The sets were first class believable with the costume designers/makeup artists doing a fabulous job for this film.There's humor, mischief being made, pathos and sorrow, two modern and magical romances (a strong "Romeo and Juliet" influence in the film), with fighting and death in the Fairy Kingdom--the latter reversed by the powers of The Grand Banshee (Whoopee Goldburg) at the climax, along with a true "gusher" of a surprise ending [all gold is NOT yellow] to leave you smiling as the film "fades to black"...literally! The "Kid in you" will love this film--I guarantee it.

this is fun and a love story.......have it in a vcr but vcr player died..... the leprechauns and faries dont get along but one couple falls in love and so the story goes......also a man and lady (human) also fall in love ......i would recomend for any age nancy

Ok, perhaps this is a bit campy for a movie. The acting is not the best by most of the actors. They do good, not great. The script is somewhat silly. But, it takes me back to seeing it in my teens. It has the 90's feel to it and all the hope of young love still was alive. There are notable actors in it too.I think it's worth a single watch. It is an innocent movie good for families. It has Ireland in it. And, a happy fairytale ending. I do not see this as a must-watch-again movie, though.

I saw this on TV as an overly lengthy miniseries chocked full of even more tiresome commercials some time ago. The story was weak and the actors appeared plucked for their star power, however miscast. Top of the miscasting: as much as I love Whoopi Goldberg, she is implausibly cast as some sort of Irish fairy godmother, and she's good in comedy, but her straight acting is unconvincingly flat. Randy Quaid is the last person I'd cast as a convincing romantic lead. Roger Daltrey is a doddering mess, like an outtake from an old TV version of Alice In Wonderland. And call me mean, but I never cared for Colm Meaney, even on old Star Trek episodes. Zoe Wanamaker is actually quite wonderful in it. Kieran Culkin is wasted (why have they never cast him as Robert Downey Jr.'s little brother in any thing? They look so related). It's filled with schlocky Irish pop ballad music and river dance cliches.That said, as a reference for fans of all things faery, The Magical World of The Leprechauns has perhaps the best set and costume designs of any faerieland I've ever seen on film. The details of fine-veined insect fairy wings and cockleshell armor as well as the Rococo embellishments of the fairy palace in the sky are truly breathtaking.It also has some very lovely Irish countryside cinematography.And for those reasons, I felt the need to have it in my collection, even if I have to sit through 170 minutes of dull plot and flawed romance.

I haven't seen this movie since I was a child. Was very excited to find it and watch it! However, it skips and freezes very frequently.....

Very long movie, but enthralling. Characters are great, the special effects amazing. Nice mix of real life people and the little people. Very cleaver movie making. Well recommended if you are into fantasy worlds. Like m a big Kid!!

First off this is not a film to be taken seriously, I've seen it trashed on many forums for the stereotypes (which it has to be said are many) ranging from drunken Leprechauns, to butter obsessed English Fey.But the thing that has passed unmentioned by all these people is that overall this is a rather wonderful film. It's beautiful, fanciful and has moments of both hilarity and tenderness. This is the sort of film that you could quite happily curl up and watch on a winter afternoon with a big mug of hot chocolate.Magical Legend of the Leprechauns is a delightful piece of fantasy escapism that doesn't try to pretend to be something it's not. It's just a little slice of magic with a wonderful star filled cast.

I saw this on TV some time ago and still remembered,so since the film was available on DVD it had to find a place in my collection!It's a lovely story(read the description of it),great cast and special effects, suitable for any age and most of all, it has great meaning. What meaning? Buy the DVD and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.

A movie I actually worked on but never got to see until now , I think it worked out very well with good acting and great fun for all ages of the familythere is something in it for everyone very enjoyable

A marvelous movie, a love story between the rude American and the romantic Irish woman, a tribute to the leprechauns and elves and the banshee, great roles of Colm Meany, Roger Daltrey, Whoopi Goldberg, ... A must-see !!!!!
