Critics Consensus

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

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. Go to Full Review

A bargain-basement romcom that does its star no favors. Go to Full Review

Irish Wish could have been a great fantasy romantic comedic if only it had had better storytelling, structure, or dialogues. Instead, it is just mostly mediocre and rather disappointing Go to Full Review

Irish Wish hits all the marks and easy reward receptors and is as soothing and surprise-free as spuds and gravy. Go to Full Review

Luis I Oct 14 A romcom that doesn’t aim high but somehow manages to deliver. The writing is weak as events unfold in a contrived way rather than through genuine character agency or earned development. The dialogue often feels forced, with the two leads jumping into deep, heartfelt conversations after having just met. Still, as a romcom, it’s not meant to be taken too seriously. Where the film truly shines is in its lavish production design and its beautifully shot Irish landscapes. Some might find this idealized portrayal a bit lazy or even disrespectful to Irish culture, but visually, it’s undeniably appealing. Beyond that, the filmmaking feels fairly generic, and while the performances are passable, they never quite stand out. I wouldn’t particularly recommend it as there are far better films in the genre, but if you’re in the mood for a light, silly romcom with gorgeous Irish scenery and don’t mind mediocre screenwriting, this one might do the trick.

Her character is literally the least interesting lead I've ever seen and I can't buy her as an actual human being at all. The wardrobe alone, yuck. Sometimes I like cringey movies but this was waaaaay over done. There's an old made for TV movie called the magical land of the leprechauns that is 10 times better than this.

See more Len P Mar 18 A very corny romance movie by a lazy script writer to a simple formula. They should go back to writing morning TV soap opera. Lindsay Lohan very uninspiring. See more diane m Feb 2 This is about as light and predictable a rom-com as you can get! There were certainly no surprises but the Irish countryside was breathtaking and pub experience was fun.
