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.

A Movie for St. Patrick's Day
Cute tale set in beautiful Ireland
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!
Cutest movie about Ireland!
My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this movie about Ireland. It was filmed in Ireland according to IMDb information. It was lovely and we especially enjoyed the snow. It is a whimsical, fun movie and especially fun to watch on St. Patrick's Day. The movie is not the best movie I've ever seen but the best one we've watched for St. Patrick's Day. I highly recommend this cute and entertaining movie about possible Leprechauns in the forest close to the tiny village where the movie mostly takes place.
