The accents are a disgrace, HIRE IRISH PEOPLE, there's so many talented Irish actors. Why hire Brit's to do bad accents. Typical ROMCOM, which is fine. Just so many tropes and stupid nonsense. If you're not Irish, you might enjoy this. It's not going to win awards. I'm pretty sure none of this was actually filmed in Ireland? There's a lot of drone shots and what seems to be a lot of green screen? You never actually see them out and about. It's always close up shots or inside buildings. The mystical woman in the woods granted her a wish is beyond hilarious and stupid. Dressed her up like a woman from the 1870s too. Utter nonsense. Even the actors use words and phrases Americans think we'd use? "He's absolutely cabbaged". All round terrible film.

TV movie at best - HIRE IRISH PEOPLE!
Absolutely Charming
What a pleasure to see Lindsay Lohan do a film in Ireland - her lovely red hair and fair complexion reminding us of her Irish heritage on her father Michael Lohan's side. I hope she really enjoyed the stunning scenery. The area the movie was shot in = Wicklow Ireland - is breath-taking.
I always love Jane Seymour and she did not disappoint as Maddie's mother.
I would love to see more of the fun cast. Ayesha Curry was a standout.
Do not expect this film to be an intellectual exercise or to be particularly unique and don't whine when it isn't as this is a story with familiar fairy-tale tropes and that quintessential HEA. Comforting and fun from beginning to end. Be careful what and who you wish for - you never know when Saint Brigid is hiding behind a tree..........
A predictable romantic comedy set with a gorgeous scenary
Irish Wish is a 2024 Netflix Romantic Comedy starring Lindsay Lohan (who serves as a producer alongside her husband Badar),EdSpeelers(Breathe),Alexander Vladros,Ayesha Curry,Jane Seymour and Elizabeth Tan. The story follows a book editor named Maddie Kelly(Lohan) who is in love with her publisher Paul Kennedy(Vladros). Things take a turn however when Paul falls for Maddie's best friend Emma(Tan)and he decides to marry her in Ireland.
Heartbroken Maddie makes a wish on a magic stone with a mysterious Irish lady and she wakes up the next day with Paul who she ends up being the bride. Things couldn't be great for Maddie,until she meets a handsome photographer named James(Speelers) and romance starts blossoming between the two.
Now she has to decide who she wants to be with the sly Paul or the friendly James?.
Going into this film I knew what was going to happen but if your a Lindsay Lohan fan then you'll love it. The film itself reminded me of 27 Dresses(girl falls for boss who winds up getting engaged to her sister) meets Leap Year(both are set in Ireland and the girl falls for a guy that's not her bethroed).
Overall I enjoyed it.
