User Reviews

Stupid plot and okay characters.
23 February 2003 | by Actinfreak – See all my reviews

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.
