Silly, but Funny in Some Moments

The hairdresser Emily Woodrow (Tangi Miller) finds a fortune in golden coins and she shares the amount with her close friends. However, the owner is the evil Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) that returns from Hell to get his treasure back, killing each member of the greedy group.

"Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood" is silly, but funny in some moments. The problem is that the pothead and drug-dealer characters are non-likable and extremely ambitious, with the exception of Emily and Lisa; therefore the devilish Leprechaun becomes not as bad as he should be. The scene with the leg of the policeman is hilarious. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "O Duende Perverso" ("The Wicked Leprechaun")
