Lindsay Lohan is set to charm audiences once again in the whimsical romantic comedy “Irish Wish,” marking her latest collaboration with Netflix following the success of “Falling for Christmas.” Directed by Janeen Damian, produced by Michael Damian and Brad Krevoy, and penned by Kirsten Hansen, the film offers a blend of magic, humor, and heartfelt moments, wrapped in the picturesque landscapes of Ireland.
In “Irish Wish,” Lohan takes on the role of Maddie Kelly, a shy book editor entangled in a supernatural love story that prompts her journey of self-discovery. Maddie has been secretly in love with the author she ghostwrites for, hoping for her feelings to be reciprocated. However, when he proposes to her best friend, Maddie finds herself facing the painful reality that her romantic fantasies might not align with the truth. This leads her to make a spontaneous wish for true love during their wedding in Ireland, only to wake up as the bride-to-be. As the narrative unfolds, Maddie comes to realize that her true soulmate might be someone entirely different.
Lohan’s return to the rom-com genre is fueled by the film’s emphasis on physical comedy and the opportunity to portray a character who navigates her way to independence and self-assertion. Maddie’s transformation from an insecure individual into a confident woman resonates with Lohan, who hopes the audience will find inspiration in her character’s journey towards self-love and assertiveness.
The film features a diverse and talented cast, including Ed Speleers, Alexander Vlahos, Jane Seymour, Elizabeth Tan, and Ayesha Curry, each bringing unique charm to the enchanting story set against the backdrop of Ireland’s lush landscapes. Lohan, who shares a familial connection to Ireland, embraced the opportunity to explore her heritage while filming in the scenic town of Dalkey, Wicklow, along Ireland’s eastern coast. The experience was enriched by the camaraderie among the cast, particularly with Ayesha Curry, and the special moments shared with her younger brother Dakota, who also appears in the film.
Irish Wish will be streaming on Netflix on March 15, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
