User Review

an endearing film for the whole familyfindingavoice 01/14/2007 
  This is one of those films that lifts one's spirits - - a joy with every viewing. As it explores the stresses within a family it creates a new connection among the principals as a result of the father's effort to save an injured horse and the daughter's love for and belief in both her father and the animal.
Everyone contributes to this cinematic delight, but Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell provide the basic elements that make this unlikely success story a heartwarming experience. The horse is pretty special too.

  Has The Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) met his match when he turns up as a statue in Las Vegas? Maybe so when he wakes up in a pawn shop and kills the owner. Now college student Scott (John Gatins)–after gambling away his tuition funds–comes into the shop to pawn his Rolex watch and finds the dead owner and the gold coin that brings good luck. But that luck changes quickly when the Leprechaun returns looking for his coin and will stop at nothing to retrieve it. And the assaults continue as the coin passes from person to person.
