The first couple is a man from New York (Creator/RandyQuaid), employed by a developer company to look for land in Ireland to use for resorts, and Kathleen, the plucky (and surprisingly not redheaded!) Irish woman he meets there.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Every death turns out to be this at the end, even Grogan's (who will be kept dead for only "a hundred years or so, just to be safe").]] Justified by the fact that [[spoiler:the fairies are only mortal thanks to the [[OneSceneWonder Grand Banshee]]'s decree, as punishment for the feud turning to violence. As soon as hostilities are ended, her decree is rescinded and the deaths are (or will be) undone]].

* AtlantisIsBoring: At one point Jessica is sent to an UnderwaterCity by her parents to keep her out of trouble. She's clearly bored to death there, and the location appears in only two scenes before Mickey arrives to whisk her away.

The second couple is a leprechaun named Mickey and a trooping fairy named Jessica, whose newfound love for each other is challenged by long-running blood feuds between their species. Their side of the story is essentially a LighterAndFluffier retelling of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', but as a whole this film is not as Light and Fluffy as it sounds, staying clear of TastesLikeDiabetes territory.

* AccidentalPervert: Jack first sees Kathleen while she's bathing nude in a pond. He ducks behind a tree for cover, then gets a rather abashed look on his face and turns to leave quietly. That of course, [[CantGetAwayWithNothing is when he steps on a dry tree branch]]...

* FairytaleWeddingDress: Jessica wears one for her wedding, which is unsurprising considering she's ''literally'' a fairy.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: As a retelling of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', many of the characters correspond to those in Shakespeare's play. Mickey and Jessica are obviously the titular lovers, their parents are the subsequent lords and ladies of Capulet and Montague, Sean Devine is Mercutio, and Count Grogan is Tybalt. At a stretch, the Banshee fills in for the Duke of Verona, Lady Margaret is Juliet's nurse, and Jentee is Friar Laurence (him being the character who comes up with the plot for the lovers to fake their deaths).


Added DiffLines:

* PrincessClassic: Jessica checks every box: royal blood, spirited/innocent personality, HairOfGoldHeartOfGold, FriendToAllLivingThings, and considered the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman (or fairy).

* NewPowersAsThePlotCommands: Mickey discovers he can fly just as he and his friends need a quick getaway from the fairy palace -- apparently any leprechaun that falls in love gains this ability. How convenient!
