Lindsay Lohan's return to the screen began with romantic comedies. Irish Wish is a must-see for all fans of the genre, and here's why.

Lindsay Lohan returned to cinema in 2022. Then, Netflix released Janeen Damian's romantic comedy, Falling for Christmas.

However, it is another romantic comedy from Damian and Lohan that deserves your attention – Irish Wish.

In it, the actress moves from snowy mountains to green spaces, once again finding herself at the mercy of fate and falling in love with a charming stranger.

What Is 'Irish Wish' About?

Maddie dreams of becoming a writer and marrying Paul, a best-selling author whose work she edits. Then, Paul meets Emma, Maddie's best friend. Now, Maddie finds herself in rural Ireland as Emma's bridesmaid.

While walking, Maddie sits down on an ancient stone and voices her heart's desire. She wakes up as Paul's bride, but her heart is uneasy.

Things don't turn out the way she imagined. Especially when the photographer she bumped into at the airport appears on the horizon.

'Irish Wish' Is a Breathtakingly Beautiful Movie

One thing you can't help but like about Irish Wish is the scenery. The movie is filled with shades of green: the furniture, the clothes, the bus seats – everything down to the smallest detail screams that the characters are in Ireland.

The local landscape is the creators' main trump card, and they use it to the fullest.

While 'Irish Wish' Doesn't Reinvent the Rom-Com Genre, It Applies Its Rules in the Best Way

As for the plot, Irish Wish follows a predictable path. We've seen love triangles like this hundreds of times before: one man is a successful narcissist unsuitable for the main character; the other is a charming, creative person.

However, the story is written with such ease, and Lindsay Lohan's portrayal of the main character evokes such unconventional sympathy that you won't notice how an hour and a half flies by.

Irish Wish is the perfect movie to watch at the end of the workweek to relax – I can personally attest to that. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted rom-com, feel free to watch Irish Wish.
