After their father dies, estranged sisters Mary and Judy head to his estate. Judy and husband Colin want to sell the house so they can get the money. While Mary, husband Dave and their three daughters - Faith, Sky and Lisa - are more interested in keeping the home in the family.
Mary doesn’t want to sell because she wants the house to go to the girls. Judy says she needs the money because she’s pregnant. You’d think Mary would question this since both sisters appear to be post menopause.
Their father used to talk about leprechauns and there are multiple books about them in the house. The girls decide to look for the treasure and sure enough, one of them finds a box full of gold in the house.
Everyone celebrates their new riches and then things get weird. Judy and Dave argue about who owns the gold. Dave thinks that finding the gold constitutes ownership, even though it would be part of the estate. Mary doesn’t think they should do anything with the gold since they don’t know where it came from.
When Sky disappears, Mary and Dave get mad at their other children because she is their responsibility. What? Is Sky mentally challenged? She told them she was sleeping in their parents room so how would they know she disappeared? The mentally deficient argument is closed when Dave insists she’s a smart kid and will be fine. So again we’re back to why are the other children expected to be responsible for her? Also I’d argue she’s not the brightest bulb since she did manage to crawl into a cage without knowing it.
This is a hard one to sit through. There’s not much of a plot and the acting is not good. Are the daughters supposed to be teens or adults? Based on how old they look, I thought they were adults, but that runs counter to the assertation they are responsible for their sister. The books on leprechauns were obviously pasted together for the film. Lisa’s accent is different from the rest of the family. Dave has no energy and his angry voice sounds the same as when he’s not angry, except he talks louder. The cell phones stop working when it’s necessary for the plot.
The leprechaun is more odd looking than scary. There is one scene where the make up is worn off or fell off his face near his mouth. In a scene near the beginning, he forgot to wear his gloves and his hands have no make up. He also plans the recorder upside down so no way is anything coming out of that instrument.
Ridiculous dialogue

| They forgot to put makeup on his hands |
 |
| One of the large font leprechaun books |
 |
| Shouting Sky to a closed window won’t help if Sky is actually outside |
 |
| The ineffective search for Sky continues |
 |
| No one questions when she says she’s pregnant |
 |
| Playing the recorder upside down |
 |
| Did they not notice the make up is worn off his neck? |
