It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I really liked this film about Scottish leprechauns. I loved the bagpipes and the Scottish accents were really believable also!!! The best bit for me was the Shaymis O Flahurtee's Evlis hair. He was REALLY EVIL. I also think the black friend was weird because he wasn't good at basketball? I like the puddings for breakfast. If you see this film you will learn a lot about Scotish culture and about how it's like to be from Scotland. I am Irish and I liked this Scotch film. I really liked this film about Scottish leprechauns. There is lots of cultural diversity in this movie. If you like culturally diversity and different races you will like it because it contains a lot of this. 10/10.

Now if anybody is thinking that Disney studios got the rights to remake the famous Twentieth Century Fox classic that starred Tyrone Power, put those thoughts aside. This film is about yet another Disney Channel teenager whose inquiry into his roots for his high school heritage day leads to all kinds of problems.Poor Ryan Merriman has the decidedly unethnic last name of Johnson and as far as he knows his family hails from Cleveland. He doesn't know that his maternal grandfather is the head of Emerald Isle potato chips and further that he's a leprechaun. Which makes mom one too and Ryan a mixed breed that can be volatile.When his lucky coin's been stolen from him that he's had since he was a kid by bad leprechaun Timothy Omundson, it's time to get in touch with grandfather and get the coin back.One similarity with the 1948 classic is that a leading actor played a rather stooped version of a leprechaun in both films. Cecil Kellaway got an Academy Award nomination in the older film. Here Henry Gibson plays the leprechaun potato chip tycoon where in his factory it's required to speak with a brogue. It's a Disney Channel film so don't expect too much from it. The cast is pleasant enough and easy to take. You can be sure to see Luck Of The Irish on the Disney Channel come Paddy's Day.

The plot was really bad. This kid finds out he is a leprechaun and he loses his lucky coin so he has to find it to save his family. The main boy(Ryan Merriman) was good. I think he is a pretty talented actor. His best friend was a pretty good actor too.

I don't know what to think of this movie. Well, other than the fact that it's God-awful. It's amazing, in fact, that it finds a way to suck on so many levels. It's a triumph in sucktitude, if you will. But I'm still not sure if it can be called a "movie," seeing as it seems more like a pro-patriotism propaganda film, stolen verbatim from WW2 era movies of the same type and modernized, with horribly funny effects.You think I'm kidding? Watch this movie, you can see in your head the MST3K crew cracking jokes at scene after unintentionally hilarious scene; mainly because the jokes are so easy to write. Every scene, in fact, ends up being one characters lecture on what being an American really means. They do a God-awful job at being subtle and the lead characters role, I think, is to play the dumbest man in the universe, just so the other characters can explain to him how great America is. I can save you some time and write you a sample scene, seeing as they're all the same, I'll only have to write one:Irish kid: Boy, life is hard!Black girl: You never learn! When the Irish came to America they had to get jobs nobody else would take, for little to no-pay, and they had to live in very poor housing, and it would snow on them wherever they went, and evil Americans would release raccoons into their pants while they slept!Irish kid: Duhhhmmmm...really!?!?!?! I never knew the Irish had it so amazingly hard! Old Irish Grandfather: Aye, I'm stereotypical Irish guy. I have an accent not even a man of Irish decent would have. Let's follow this rainbow to the gold!Black boy: Rainbows don't really exist! They're just light refracting off the water in the air.Old Irish Grandfather: Ah lad, you some sort of scientist or something?Black boy: No, but I hope to be one someday, in this America, land of the free, home of the brave, where opportunity is abundant and racism doesn't exist, look at me everybody I'm black and I can be a scientist. I am making a stern statement in this movie!(END SCENE)I'm not exaggerating. And the end is what comical dreams are made of. The main character is on a stage in front of his school, dancing an Irish jig, and singing "America the Beautiful." The other characters come to join him - I was crying tears of joy.The filming is standard, looks like everything else on the Disney channel. But the script is inept in so many ways in makes one think, how many monkeys on type writers would it take to make THIS script? It's like they wrote down "AMERICA IS THE BESTEST LAND EVER", and then ran it through some Disney magic and called it a day. I can only imagine the producers, with their curly beards and cigars, looking like the producers in Barton Fink, as they pound their fists on desks, make snide remarks and roll this movie into production as they scream, "Brilliant, the kid's will eat it right up." Oh yes - Disney is that evil
