What to Know

Critics Consensus

With Lindsay Lohan in the lead, it almost doesn't matter that Irish Wish is a scattered collection of rom-com clichés.

Linda Holmes NPR I really thought this was super charming. May 10, 2024 Full Review Alonso Duralde Breakfast All Day You've got a very charming Lohan, some lovely Irish scenery, and a Hallmark plot. And if that's what you're here for, you'll get it. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday A bargain-basement romcom that does its star no favors. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Carmen Bryce Film Ireland Magazine Irish Wish hits all the marks and easy reward receptors and is as soothing and surprise-free as spuds and gravy. Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Matt Neal Movies Ate My Life Destined to become a rainy hungover Sunday go-to for those who desire a brain-off love buzz. And that is all. Rated: 2/5 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht It was determined in about 2005 that Lohan couldn’t carry a movie, which remains the case today.

Hudson H what in the actual balls? first of all, my great grandma could act better than lindsay lohan, oh wait shes dead. second, i get the whole cheesy rom com whatever but this cheese was on crack or something. last, if you get nothing else from this thought out review, dont even read the title, you will suffer. i wish that your eyes do not have to endure this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Jessica S I really liked this. Beautiful Irish countryside. Lovely escapism. Easy watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Audience Member definitely decent not bad Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Irish Wish - 3/10. Oh no. First of all, Lindsay Lohan deserves so much better than this. The same director that delivered her somewhat mediocre Netflix Christmas film delivers this comically bad romcom. This is literally laughably bad, and its shocking because the christmas themed film the two did previously at least had some tinge of good work in there. Irish Wish is one of those movies that has nothing going for it in a general sense. Lindsay tries her ever so best to make this work, and Ed Speelers actually does a decent job with his scenes with Lindsay here too. Jane Seymour is here, and like Lindsay, is betrayed by a bad script, making some of her performance feel a little goofy. The main issue here is that the movie just feels so artificial, goofy, wooden, and just badly written/directed. I laughed at some of the creative choices taken in the film, and as much as it tried to be funny, it just couldn’t be hilarious to save its own life. I really wanted to like this, because romcoms are my thing. But holy is this really bad. The funny thing is, the fight near the end was probably the only good thing in this entire movie, and even that scene was done in a middling way. The locations are beautiful, and along with the very few things in this movie that work, this is probably gonna be one of the worst films of the year. Lindsay, you deserve so much better than these Netflix movies. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review N P I was honestly genuinely surprised with how much I liked this movie. As Rom-Coms are far and few between in recent years, this is a nice addition to the genre. With breathtaking cinematography in scenic Ireland and Lohan's enigmatic & humane performance making you undoubtedly root for the protagonist - the message of standing up for yourself + making your own destiny is alive and true. It doesn't hurt that the soulmate arch between the two leads is natural and emblematic across the breezy run-time. A heartwarming, comfort film that you shouldn't miss and has tons of replay value! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Alex C I couldn't finish watching this movie. Even watching it as if it were a podcast since I got so bored was too boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
