This film is great for what it is: a comedic sequel to the original movie. A big strength lies in that it is very self-aware and never takes itself too seriously. The corny jokes are funny, as are the wee one's evil antics. The characters are mostly one-dimensional slasher archetypes, but for the most part they add to the comedy. The acting is not bad at all with comedic timing being generally pretty good and the lines delivered well. The deaths are absurd, and so far beyond the realm of physical possibility--even while suspending disbelief--you can't help but laugh. Again, it doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't expect the viewer to either. Given this, the writing and direction are pretty great. The leprechaun's makeup is on point, and the special effects are surprisingly good.
Genuinely funny, self-aware, and more or less Oscar-worthy compared to what I have seen of other Syfy Originals.
