Critics Consensus

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

Estefania V

Basic, predictable, a copy paste movie of a 90s Disney Channel movie. I can’t believe the lack of creativity in it. Everything about it is predictable. Don’t waste your time watching this. Rather re-watch the big hits on rom com, you’ll feel better than wasting your time on this.

An interesting romantic pairing does not save Irish Wish from being filled with awkward dialogue reminiscent of AI generation, lacking in humour and a distinctive story.

Excel A

Irish Wish stars Lindsay Lohan in a fantasy romantic comedy. Here, Lindsay's character, Maddie Kelly, is a book editor in love with the author she works with. When he falls in love with her best friend and they subsequently get engaged, she makes a wish to live her best friend's life a few days before their wedding. The plot of Irish Wish is very predictable but the leads manage to infuse as much interest to keep it engaging. Lindsay Lohan's revival deserves more than what her recent movies offer but she still brings her charm to them. Ed Speelers also brings a cute chemistry to the dynamic between him and Lohan. There's nothing special or groundbreaking about Irish Wish but it ends up being a comfortable easy watch that banks on the lead performances and the Irish setting. 5/10

The only good thing in this ridiculous movie was the amazing view of the cliffs…otherwise it was disjointed and had no credibility whatsoever. Bad dialogue, bad editing and mediocre acting.

I thought it was sweet! I think Lindsay did a great job and she captured emotion very well! I was a tad surprised to see the actor who played James! He plays a villain role in outlander and I was very much used to not liking him but he switched it up so well that I grew to love him!

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.

A bargain-basement romcom that does its star no favors.

[Lohan] plays Maddie as someone for whom you want the best. And sometimes that’s all you need a romantic-comedy heroine to be.

Destined to become a rainy hungover Sunday go-to for those who desire a brain-off love buzz. And that is all.

It was determined in about 2005 that Lohan couldn’t carry a movie, which remains the case today.
