Irish Wish (spoiler alert)
Yes, I watched this movie, and it's exactly what you think it is! Except that the love interest is confusingly not Irish. I wish Netflix would make more romcoms that are actually funny (Set It Up and Always Be My Maybe for example). But obviously these movies have their place in the cinematic universe, so here's my ranking of bad Lindsay Lohan Netflix movies that you're somehow drawn to watch (bear in mind I haven't seen all of them).
1. Irish Wish. Yep, it's the best of the lot! I was entertained in a dumb way.
2. The one where she falls off a cliff, gets amnesia and starts a new life with some guy who runs an inn and no one can find her even though they're like 5 minutes away.
3. The one where she eats edibles and gives a rambling sermon at Christmas mass. This is one of those annoying ones where the love interest is the ex (also didn't love this for Merry Little Ex-Mas)
Irish Wish is also one of those wildly unrealistic movies about writers where she can just magically move to Ireland to write her novel, with no worries about a visa, money, housing or anything at all. But probably one of my least favorite tropes in movies about writers is "I'm a writer but I couldn't write my novel because I didn't know what to write about... until I had this inspiring romantic experience." Like, if you can't think of a plot by yourself, this may not be the career for you.
