...ultimately an entertaining (if all-too-slight) piece of work.

One of the rare few family movies that should enchant both children and grown-ups.

I have to admit that by the second or third time I saw leprechauns depicted as magical by speeding up the film, I was hoping for someone to show up with a gun.
