Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Although this does begin slowly, it picks up nicely and proceeds at a fair pace.This is basically set as a commentary on the idiocy of war, having set the Leprechauns against the Faeries over nothing more consequential than race. Although forbidden by the Grand Banshee (Whoopie Golodberg), the fighting continues, as the Troopoing Faeries are the "natural enemies" of the Solitary Faeries. They have no pause to battle one another, as Fae Folk cannot die. Having no consequence to war, war seems a trivial thing to these folks. It is discussed with great dramatics, for to these wee ones, it is but a game of acting and playing, regardless of the caustic cause of the war. Once war is taken seriously, they still engage one another to a surprising effect, via the Grand Banshee, who is attempting to teach them to value their lives via reward and punishment.Too bad humans do not learn from such drastic consequences.Actually, this was quite enjoyable; featuring some great performances, an interesting story, and decent execution. The story is fashioned after a Romeo and Juliet setting, with good contrast between the two opposing sides, and a clearly defined relationship between the involved couple. Additionally, there is a simultaneous romance involving the humans Jack (Randy Quaid) and Kathleen (Orla Brady).Endearing characters, enchanting story with solid morals, and magical execution make this a near-classic.If you like this, you should try Disney's "Darby O'Gill and the Little People," "FairyTale, A True Story," or "Legend: The Ultimate Edition."This rates an 8.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

I bought this movie after seeing the 6.2 rating and almost never post comments, but this movie was so unbelievably bad that I have to warn others.Acting was average, but the story (almost 3 hours long) was easily 2 hours too long. The relationships between the human characters was unbelievably thin, and after the first 90 minutes they seemed to show someone kissing every two minutes. The plot thoroughly stunk - I won't spoil anything for you if you decide not to head my warning - but think at the end of the movie WHO REALLY CAUSED THE PROBLEM! It seemed to me it was just some over exuberant fun that had continued for generations that should have been left alone.The only good thing I can say about the movie is it put my kids to sleep.

This is one of the worst worst tv movie series I have ever seen, and worst of all bought. It's boring, badly directed, terribly acted and not amusing at all. Hallmark may be eager to produce this kind of movies, but they should be more careful with their content. A total waste of time.

While I watched this I kept thinking about William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", which is very similar to this movie right down to the warring families. There are however many differences which make this better than just another adaption to the play. I enjoyed watching this mini series as I love magic and anything to do with it.
