Getting Lucky
“Middlevale High has Cheerleaders, Jocks, Nerds... and a Leprechaun!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A teenager finds a troublesome leprechaun in a discarded bottle and uses his wishes with very predictable priorities. Deliberately juvenile fantasy and unreliable magic keep the jokes coming, though the dated humour makes the intended audience quite specific.
