Sweet, but clumsy and hapless nerd Bill Higgins (a likable portrayal by Steven Cooke) befriends drunken leprechaun Lepkey (an irritatingly hearty turn by Gary Kluger, who speaks in a horribly fake overdone Irish accent), who helps Bill win over the favor of his cheerleader dream girl Krissi Schackler (tasty long-haired blonde dish Lezlie Z. McGraw). However, arrogant macho jock Tony (badly overplayed to the obnoxious hilt by buff hunk Rick McDowell) doesn't take it lightly that Bill wants Krissi for his own. Writer/director Michael Paul Girard maladroitly covers all the essential so-wrong-they're-paradoxically-right craptastic low-budget schlock flick bases: crummy acting from a game, but lame no-name cast, tin-eared dialogue, crude and leering jokes about such things as sex, condoms, and losing one's virginity, lousy (far from) special effects, a few dippy romantic musical montages, one-note cardboard characters, a truly off-the-wall last third, clunky cinematography, and, most importantly, a gloriously ludicrous "you gotta be kidding me!" premise that comes complete with the inevitable dopey surprise ending. Best and most gut-busting protracted dumb gag: Bill finds himself trapped in Krissi's panties after Lepkey accidentally shrinks him down to miniature size. Moreover, there's also the token obligatory yummy gratuitous girls' locker room shower set piece and a cool'n'bouncy soft-rock soundtrack. A hilariously horrendous hoot and a half.
