Wonderful scenery and light-hearted script, Leprechauns and Fairies makes this movie well worth watching. This movie is a cross between The Quiet Man & Romeo and Juliet. Like The Quiet Man an American comes to Ireland to visit and moves into a lovely little country cottage. Soon he finds a local girl that he falls in love with, has difficulties with her family and even manages to enter a horse race. He also finds a family of Leprechauns already living in the cottage and learns there are 2 local fairy peoples, the Leprechauns and the Trooping Fairies, who don’t get along (Leprechauns being too mischievous and the Fairies too workaholic). In a definite Romeo & Juliet take-off, the Fairy princess and a young Leprechaun lad fall in love, the families start a war and difficulties ensue and are overcome and a happy ending is enjoyed by all. Technically the movie was well done. The scenes of the diminutive Leprechauns and the Trooper Fairies could have easily come off cheesy but didn’t. Even the Fairy wings and flying was nicely handled. Colm Meaney (Star Trek NG) as the Leprechaun leader and his wife Zoë Wanamaker (My Family) were spot on and Orla Brady did very well in the female lead. All that said, in my estimation, the male lead and the Grand Banshee are 2 characters that were seriously miscast. Randy Quaid as the American would not have been my first choice or fifth choice, but surprising pulls it off, if no John Wayne. But Whoopee Goldberg as the Grand Banshee is a huge, huge stretch. Not that she doesn't do a nice acting job, she does. But really, a Banshee? From old Ireland? Long red hair and pale skin? Cries before a coming death? Whoopee Goldberg????? All in all, buy the movie, pop some popcorn and enjoy.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This movie while kind of "B" budget is fun and a bit of a frolic. For me, Randy Quaid, seems strange for this role and the part doesn't quite fit. His portrayal comes off as a tad leering and as if he really is a "peeping Jack" in some scenes. The fairy story is better. Colm Meaney shines as Seamus Muldoon, and Stephen Moore steals the show as the butter spirit, Jentee. (Makes me laugh every time.) I bought this DVD for my daughter, and she loves it. Glad to add this movie to our collection.
This magical love story transforms your world to include fairies and leprechauns that is nothing less than magical. Just make sure that you've got nothing to do for awhile because it's hard to take your eyes off the screen

I bought it because of the title and Whoope Goldberg. But Whoope appeared for no more than a couple of minutes during the entire movie. The animation and sccnery was great but the plot trite and childish.

This movie was purchased so I could get better aquainted with Princess Jessicas pixie dress since I was asked to make her dress for a friend and not only did I enjoy the movie but the kids loved it.
