{{work}}
A [[Made for TV Movie]] by Hallmark, about two couples who are dealing with very different romantic strife and yet have a large amount of impact on the others' stories.

The first couple is a man from New York, 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.

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.

The fairies' side of the story is essentially a [[Lighter and Fluffier]] retelling of [[Romeo and Juliet]].

Not as Light and Fluffy as it sounds, staying well clear of [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] territory.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Jentee, who has apparently ''read'' [[Romeo and Juliet]], as he suggests to Mickey and Jessica that killing themselves would bring their families 'round.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Both sets of the fairy lovers' parents, at the end of the film.
* [[Duel to the Death]]: {{spoiler|Mickey and Grogran}}
* [[Everybody Lives]]
* [[Faking the Dead]]: Mickey and Jessica, as a last-ditch attempt to get their families to reconcile.  {{spoiler|It works, but only after they die for real. Then [[Unexplained Recovery|they get better]].}} 
* [[Feuding Families]] (though rather expanded to Feuding Species): the Fairies and the Leprechauns.
* [[Leprechaun]]: Averted to a degree: while leprechauns are stereotypically Irish, wear green coats, and can turn invisible, they are only about a foot tall, are represented by all major genders (or at least one gender plus Mary and the female dancers), and are far from the only mythical creatures living in Ireland. 
* [[Masquerade Ball]]: Three guesses as to where Mickey and Jessica meet, and the first two don't count.
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Lampshaded by Kathleen, who makes a snarky remark about how the American has come to save the Irish peasants from destruction. Jack insists this isn't the case.
* [[Painting the Frost on Windows]]: It's what the fairies do.
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: The Leprechauns and the Fairies.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Again, Mickey and Jessica.
