Leprechaun 6, Le Retour Reviews

hmm. so most of the leprechaun movies are what you'd expect; cheap thrills. gore, laughs, and little attetion to anything else. and for all intents and purposes thats what you get here.

this time a group of young-ish ghetto wannabes find the gold and go about spending it on ghetto couture; cars, bling, gold teeth, lots of pot and every other cliche you can imagine. i'm not sure why but all the attention to cliche in the attempt to be comical brings this thing down. this is like every bad black comedy out there. surprisingly they forgot two things in this movie: "you're momma" jokes and more surprisingly missing is the leprechaun crude limericks. i mean they didn't even make him rap one. what the hell?

the acting is bad; really bad. and any moments that are actually well acted are ruined by how bad the rest is. but this is not the actors fault. its the filmmakers. they wrote this stuff and had them perform it. of course we have to blame them some for going along with it. (i guess like in the movie, money will lead you).

the worse thing about this film in the end is that it is half assed. the drama isn't working, the gore is minimal and not convincing, the tension is never built (despite way over done and obvious scoring.....no you can't fix an error with more dramatic music over and over and over), the filming is so so. and the only character you could give one cent for is killed...without much to do about it. they kill her off and move to the next person to see how or if they'll be killed off. like its no loss, depite having built up far too much back story about how she's trying to do better and go to college, etc.

this is my final critique: while its not a bad film, i mean what did you expect really, but i nearly dosed off a couple times. thats not good.
