This is low 100 material, I'm telling you. So perhaps it refers to the bad fortune the Irish have had over the years including colonialism, famine, war, and prejudice, which turns the whole phrase on its head. Next, let's think what the writers were thinking of in mind of a director: McG Steven Spielberg Steven Seagal The Wachowski Brothers Someone With No Talent (Well, That Negatives McG and Seagal!) Someone With Talent (That negatives the rest) So what are we left with? NO ONE, which is who I would think WAS behind this movie. The use of luck in the phrase can also mean fortune, which can be good or bad. With that in mind, you've got the outline for the film. (Aye!) Hokey effects and a dumb plot thought of in a five minute brainstorming session. The token black kid (no racist comment intended - I took that statement from the front cover of some movie I saw at the rental store!).
BRAINSTORMER 1 What characters should we use? The Irish-American 'duh?' generation teen.
Now, I will take you behind the minds of the writers: I can just see some guys in a room, coffee in hand, thinking of something to put in this movie. Or is it 'preserve'? Don't see this awful, straight-to-Disney-Channel-movie, or you will be shouting in pain when it is over.
