Romance irlandaise

Mr. Garrett, the main character in Chasing Leprechauns, flies to a small Irish town for business, only to come face to face with his own reality:

1. Mr. Garrett talks an awful lot of blarney;

2. He does not believe in leprechauns; and

3. He thinks he can just come into town, throw his tons of money around, and get what he wants.

Barmaid Sarah Cavanaugh, the town's leprechaun expert, whose formal approval is required for Mr. Garrett to achieve the goal of his business trip, has a very clear notion of the dangers of letting big business come to town and have their way, especially if that business is a mining company.

Then, before our eyes, and with the aid of the invisible little beings, Mr. Garrett's transformation takes place, right before our eyes.

Lots of fun & amusement -- as can be expected when a few leprechauns get involved :-)

Adrian Pasdar plays the world's most inept corporate troubleshooter as he gets sent to Ireland in this Hallmark Channel mashup of THE QUIET MAN and LOCAL HERO. His corporation wants to build a copper smelter. The local leprechaun certifier says there are leprechauns on the site and they clash and fall in love along the way.

There are, as I have indicated above, some issues with the way Pasdar's character is written early on, but director Kevin Connor handles the film lightly enough that by the time matters start to settle out it's all good, even the stock Oirish characters. Cinematographer Peter Robertson shoots the landscape in a handsome if nondescript fashion -- I can't tell if those woods are shot in Ireland or somewhere in Canada.

Oh doesn't everyone dream of settling down in a quaint little European village? This was charming and I loved the magic of the legendary leprechauns. The solution seemed almost too easy, but it worked. Worth the watch!

I liked this movie from the first time I saw it.

I have no idea how many times that I have watched the Full Movie and Partial Views.

The Partial Views because if I'm flipping through the channels and I see that it is on, I can't help but put it on and watch it.

It's an enjoyable view ALWAYS!

I've always had a soft spot for "The Little People" Not so much the Sinister Leprechaun in the Leprechaun Movies.

I like the Chemistry between Sara & Michael and Sara's Smile can light up a room.

I would like to see Amy Huberman in more American Made Films.

2 Thumbs Up!

If you see it listed..Watch It!

Pasdar wears tons of things inside his room m where the heaters does not work but then leaves to go running at midnight and wears nothing but a long sleeve shirt. What the heck?!? The whole story is silly but I could leave with it if it wasn't for the ridiculous covered all body parts but your mouth inside the room but runs at night with most of the body uncovered. Was this movie done by someone who is mentally challenged and not an adult??? Silly love stories are OK but they shouldn't be so badly done to cause anyone with a brain to frown upon any scene. I especially love Ireland but this movie did it a disservice.
