Be prepared when you are watching this movie, that you need to check your expectations at the door. As other reviews have said, this movie is full of "borrowed" story lines but it is still a classic. If you don't care about the characters, the movie won't matter to you. At first I found it to be so full of clichés and cheesiness that I couldn't believe I was watching it. Then I realized I had been drawn in and had to see where the characters ended up. Have to admit, big crush on Mickey Muldoon. His storyline with Princess Jessica to me was the heart of the movie. I wasn't as interested in the Jack and Kathleen storyline because I did not find Jack all that appealing. My apologies to Randy Quaid, he wasn't all that charming or anything, I am not sure why Kathleen fell in love with him. Roger Daltrey was laughable and Whoopi Goldberg seemed out of place as an American Grand Banshee. As an American enamored with Irish culture, I did not enjoy the American presence in the film. So as goofy as this movie was, I couldn't turn it off and it stuck with me. Just don't have super high expectations!
