This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched. I could barely sit through it, but out of fairness, since I new I had to mention how bad it was on here, I did. Lots of bad acting, with worse acting from the lesser qualified "actors" involved, this movie is pretty damn bad. Any of the people in this movie's comments that days its even approaching 'okay' is lying out their rear. It was pathetic, it hurt me to even watch. I feel embarrassed for the couple normally decent actors involved. I realize I'm an adult, but I haven't forgotten the kid/teen movies I watched when I was younger. I mean we had lots of cheesy flicks, sure, but this wasn't even cheese, it was crap, like post-digestion cheese after its sat around in ones stomach for 48 hours and is ready to be expelled. You're better off missing this, with its horrific (even for 2001) blue screen special effects. Cliché for Disney plot, and sub par acting.Want me to describe this flick in one line? Move along, there's nothing to see here... (envision a cop trying to hide the dead body under the sheet...thats this film). Intentionally subjecting yourself to this film is an absurd self-flagellation that everyone should avoid if at all possible. If it is for your kid, go rent them Zapped or The Explorers. If you require something of Irish for your sustenance go for Darby O'Gill and the Little People, you'll thank yourself for missing this.

Not everyone can "understand" this movie - and I think misunderstanding it is the only reason anyone could give it a negative review. Movies like this one - by nature of being made-for-television and made-for-12-year-olds - are outside traditional standards for judging movies. In fact, a lot of the factors that would make regular movies bad, in this case, actually make this movie better: not-so-convincing accents, silly plot, random coincidences, and evil leprechauns. Luck of the Irish isn't about challenging intellectual beliefs or pulling heartstrings - it's the movie to watch with friends (that you're comfortable with) after knocking back a few drinks. And in that context, the weirder it is, the cornier it is, the better.

I love this movie!! Ryan Merriman did an awesome portrayal of Kyle and the others did great, too!! The backgrounds were beautiful and I think that the accents sounded pretty realistic!! The plot is good, too. It's not just a kiddy movie, either. My entire family enjoyed it!! I would totally recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Disney movies. Plus...Ryan Merriman is in it...that's enough to get me to watch it...lol.

Honestly this movie was not that good. I had looked foward to watching it, but was highly disapointed. It's kind of stupid, his friends act so casual when he shrinks, and grows leprechaun ears! I mean come on, the mom is 5 inches tall and friend just acts like. "Is that you?" I would only give this movie about 3/10 stars.
