Looking for a cute romantic comedy to watch with your family, this is the one! Irish Wish is another rendition of a cutesy romantic flick for most viewers to enjoy. It follows Maddie, a young woman who takes a trip to Ireland for her quickly engaged friend’s wedding. With her growing crush on the groom, she makes a wish that she is the one marrying him instead. The story takes “twists and turns” as her growing affection for a new face plagues her.
Lindsay Lohan takes on another role with Netflix as a leading lady, with the revival of her career growing. As she continues to headline movies, the audience can see her becoming more and more comfortable in her newer films. The film captivates the audience with the gorgeous Irish scenery. We can quickly see a new star emerging with the addition of Ed Speleers to the cast. You may know Ed from his mysterious role in the Netflix show You. His performance in this movie will perhaps secure his future role as a Netflix Leading Man.
With its Hallmark-esk dialogue and mostly cheesy humor, it won’t rank high on my movie list for this year. It is yet to be seen if the element of romance is realistic, but its emotion at the latter end of the film is very present. This film is one that most viewers will forget they ever watched, just another PG Netflix film that will get a second entry, because why not?

The Review
Irish Wish
Family-friendly romantic comedy 'Irish Wish' centers on Maddie, who falls hard for the groom while attending her friend's wedding in Ireland. It features Ed Speleers and stars Lindsay Lohan. It has beautiful landscapes but a lot of corny humor. It's a fun Netflix movie with some poignant moments, though not one that will stick in your memory.
PROS
- Entertaining for families
- Lindsay Lohan Resurgence
CONS
- Cliché writing
- No emotional connection to characters
