Put it on tonight on YouTube TV and see for yourself.

Leprechaun arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Leprechaun does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A demonic leprechaun terrorizes a group of young people whom he believes stole his gold. Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1993. The timing in Leprechaun is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Leprechaun is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Warwick Davis's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
