This is the type of movie you can't take too seriously. Just go in ready to laugh and you will. If you try and judge it by the same standards of Citizen Kane or something it's not gonna be very good, but if you just let yourself enjoy it you will.

Great movie made me laugh. I also like see Jennifer Aniston back in her glory days.

Early Jennifer Aniston movie (the UK DVD release has milked this by giving her star billing and added a photo of her that obviously wasn't from the film on the cover), but the real star here is Warwick Davis in the title role. He's great fun to watch, the only thing that lets him down is his inability to do a convincing Irish accent. Relatively low body count but there are a few neat kills and plenty of humour to make this entertaining viewing. Needless to say it spawned a franchise, some of which are probably best forgotten.

Released in 1993, "Leprechaun" is a low-budget horror/comedy about a father and daughter (John Sanderford & Jennifer Aniston) who move to a small, old house in North Dakota where they and some painters (Ken Olandt, Mark Holton & Robert Hy Gorman) encounter a devilish little leprechaun obsessed with his pot of gold coins (Warwick Davis).I've only seen the first four Leprechaun movies and this is easily the least of 'em. While the cast, locations and leprechaun are good there's only enough material here for half the movie's runtime, like maybe 45 minutes. The second half goes on and on with the leprechaun's zany antics and attacks on the cast. Being low-budget, the location is limited to the ranch house and a couple of visits into town, such as the hospital and diner. It just gets monotonous and there's simply not enough to keep the viewer's interest. The next three movies make up for this by changing the location and upping the ante with the entertainment on all fronts. "Leprechaun" is worth seeing, particularly to catch a glimpse of young Jennifer in her first theatrical movie, but it's humdrum after the first 40-45 minutes and nothing exceptional up to that point. The film runs 92 minutes and was shot in Saugus, California, near Santa Clarita.GRADE: C-
