There's a war goin' on in this bit o' blarney, but it's more than the feud between the fairies and the leprechauns, upon which most of the overwrought tale hangs. It's also a struggle between competing, derivative story lines in this bloated, plodding film that can't decide what it wants to be. It's part Romeo and Juliet, via the seemingly doomed romance of the princess fairy and teenage leprechaun; part contemporary romance, with an uncomfortable-looking Randy Quaid in the romantic lead; and a large part unfocused fable that fills out its Irish stew with a feud reminiscent of Ireland's Catholic-Protestant conflict while throwing in fantastical Braveheart-style battle scenes and Riverdance-like interludes. The most stunning scenes are the fairy sequences that take place in a futuristic castle in the sky (think Wizard of Oz meets Star Wars) and the epic battles with innovative leprechaun bark-and-stick armor. It all makes for a jumble of a long movie, which originally aired as a miniseries on NBC. --Valerie J. Nelson

movie is great.....trying to buy it from amazon is TERRIBLE!!!! May 7, 2010 David T. Demeree the movie is great....i have been unsuccessfully trying to get a copy of this movie thru Amazon.com.....they have changed my estimated delivery date for this movie at least 4 times now. I have been waiting over 5 weeks for it and have finally canceled the order.....
A St. Patrick's Day Tradition All Year April 8, 2010 Dena Clark Since I watch this on TV every March, I decided it was time to own a copy. Fantastic scenes of the Irish countryside, amazing sets and extraordinary costumes. The story is cute, romantic and adventurous...great casting of Whoopi Goldberg as the Grand Banshee. And the DVD comes with extras I don't get on television! Amazon.com's price was better than others I checked, even with member pricing. I heartily recommend it!
Extreamly long but funny April 5, 2010 K. Baldwin (USA) This would have been a great movie to watch as a family near St. Patricks Day, (thats what I was hoping) but it turned out to be very long and dragged on. The movie was cute, and funny in a lot of parts but it left my family wondering if the movie was ever going to end.
Whimsical fun for everyone October 4, 2009 Kristal A. Todd (Syracuse, NY USA) I recommend this film for all families that love a little whimsy and magic along with a great retelling of a traditional "Romeo and Juliet" story.
