The Luck of the Irish (2001)
Awful, sadly awful
Unfortunately, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. There is nothing memorable or noteworthy about it. The main character, Kyle, is a clueless American who investigates his past and eventually finds out about his Irish heritage. I know he is supposed to be an ignorant American, but he doesn't even know basic things like the relations between shamrocks and step dancing to being Irish. Any American would know that, no matter their heritage.
The writing was horrible. There are one too many "powerful" speeches given by various characters referring to the ultimate strength of all the Irish people and how they are better than all others. I don't think this goes over too well with people watching who are not Irish. The acting is very awful, and many events in it are unbelievable. An example is the readiness of everyone to believe Kyle when he tells them he is a leprechaun. People act as if it's an everyday thing and don't give it a second thought. Most surprising is when Kyle's leprechaun mother shrinks to about a few inches high, yet no one seems to think it's odd or out of the ordinary. Overall, it's a shame Disney released this waste of film.
If you are feeling sad or in a bad mood, don't watch this movie! It'll only make you feel worse!
