Lindsay Lohan’s latest film “Irish Wish” takes her back to her roots of playing characters who are pretending to be someone else. In this charming comedy, Lohan portrays Maddie, a book editor who suddenly finds herself in a parallel universe where she is set to marry the handsome author she works with.
The story begins with Paul, played by Alexander Vlahos, falling for Maddie’s friend Emma, portrayed by Elizabeth Tan. As the two prepare to tie the knot at a picturesque manor in Ireland, Maddie makes a wish that changes everything. Thanks to Saint Brigid, Maddie wakes up engaged to Paul, despite having no memory of how it happened.
As Maddie navigates this new reality, she meets James, played by Ed Speleers, a photographer who challenges her perception of love and relationships. As Maddie’s feelings for James grow, her wedding plans with Paul start to unravel.
Directed by Janeen Damian and written by Kirsten Hansen, “Irish Wish” is a delightful addition to Lindsay Lohan’s filmography. The movie explores themes of independence, self-discovery, and the power of wishes, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Irish countryside.
With a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes, “Irish Wish” is now available to watch on Netflix. Fans of Lindsay Lohan’s early comedies like “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls” are sure to enjoy this latest installment in the actress’s “what-if” universe.
