Kevin R Very underrated Disney Channel original movie. One of the best DCOMS! Ryan Merriman is great in it! It’s a fun and lighthearted family movie with a lot of charm. Shows how important and interesting it is to learn about your own ancestry. It’s campy and funny too. But also teaches you that luck isn’t everything and that you have to work hard to win and make achievements in life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Ed R Not the best Disney original movie but creative. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Patty M Overall, this is a cheesy film that is sure to delight younger viewers. While there is plenty of criticism about this film, it still is a great family film and excellent to teach about Irish culture. Incorporate it into your Saint Patrick’s Day teaching and enjoy the silliness of it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review K O Actually one of the most offensive movies to Irish people I've seen. Terrible movie . Not funny . Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Good enough Ryan Merriman has a lot of charm and likability A bit of luck and a bit of magic go a long way A kid in junior high has everything going for him so he figures it's just luck all the way through When st Patrick's Day approaches though his lucky streak starts to dwindle; turns out the gold medallion he's wearing is stolen and he starts to change from getting red hair to getting shorter to having pointy ears He's actually half-leprechaun finding out his mom is actually from Ireland Another rival leprechaun is after so many gold medallions so in order to set things right this kid has to earn it back His best friend, she is a young achiever having him listen to reason Not everything good that happens to us is because of luck, it's more due to hard work, practice and effort The movie does a lot to respect the Irish culture without making it insulting, there's giggle worthy moments, and the effects are pretty decent for a TV budget The camera angles are shot really nicely as well It also paints a more real world picture of the American dream for immigrants Many of them came to this country long ago and didn't have much respect or decent pay, in the end though they never gave up and learned to see past indifference from centuries of old We all have to learn to embrace our humble beginnings and heritage After all living in a nation of many backgrounds adds so much to our character allowing more voices to be heard A flick I grew up with even if it's very forgettable but still a worthy watch Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Brayden G It's a boring movie not much to say about it Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
