An enjoyable romcom with attractive visuals

God bless those script writers who keep churning out variations of the classic boy meets girl type rom coms. This movie set in Ireland comes with a twist where an Irish fairy ( Saint Brigida) grants a wish, an Irish wish for heroine Maddie ( Lindsay Lohan) who wants to marry author Paul Kennedy ( Alexander Viahos) but fate has other plans. Waiting in the wings is young and handsome James Thomas ( Ed Speelers). At the beginning of the movie it is clarified by the makers that the word "wish" means "to want something that cannot now happen or that probably will not happen". (Google says so). Later in the film it is said that if the wish fairy wants to act mischievous then you just might get what is good for you rather than getting what you desire. In the movie Saint Brigida not only sets the course of events but also has the power to " undo" events. Serendipity however plays its role and things happen to unite the lovers but not before many amusing incidents take place which include a scuffle by the suitors a few minutes before the wedding.Director Janeen Damian has made an enjoyable movie despite the fact that the scenes are familiar, we have seen it all before and it has a predictable storyline. It is a light hearted and charming tale. The attraction of the movie is the exquisite cinematography capturing the mesmerizing outdoors of Ireland. The countryside is amazing. These scenes are a visual delight and such scenes are in plenty.

Lindsay's a great actress! Why this movie is so bad:

Lindsay Lohan is a very talented actress! I love her & don't understand why she chose this movie. Here are some of the things that didn't work in the movie and what she should consider when choosing her next project: 1. Horrible costume design - really hideous outdated wardrobe for all the women especially. Those bridesmaid dresses were ill-fitting and you could see all the undergarment lines, etc. - just unprofessional costuming.2. The script was dull with unimaginative dialogue and plot lines that just did not work at all. There was no time & development to build up the relationships to make any of them believable.3. The hairstyles were frumpy & outdated - from another era - especially Lindsay's never ending hair length that was styled like an elementary school-aged girl.5. The makeup on her friends looks like it was painted on like a mask and they looked like their faces were pumped up with Botox, lip filler -etc. They looked very unauthentic as real women in their late 20's to early 30's. These Hallmark-type movies have to stop either hiring or encouraging women 30-40 years old to do this to their face. These women look freakish, unreal and look clownish as if playing caricatures of themselves.6. Weird casting with the groom's mother looking a few decades younger than her husband and having her dressed in pearls, matronly clothes and her Irish accent didn't sound Irish. Please stop giving women actresses over 40 ugly hairstyles from the 1950's - it looks stupid & it's not representative of how women 40-60 REALLY look! When will these movies stop these dumb stereotypes in casting/makeup/casting/script, etc?The scenes of Ireland were beautiful and music was nice, though way over the top dramatic for certain scenes. With Brad Krevoy & other veterans of these types of movies on board, the movie should have been much better.Lindsay - you're great! Keep trying and keep looking for better scripts that are worth your talent!

Haven't we seen this before?

Yes, a thousand times. This movie is basically "Freaky Friday meets "Made of Honor" crossed with "My Best Friend's Wedding." However, it was great seeing Ayesha Curry and of course Lindsay Lohan. Jane Seymour too. Just enjoy the movie for what it is. It's actually entertaining if you don't look too much into it. I was honestly engaged enough to see how Maddie's wish turned back around into the actual situation. And even though I knew how it would turn out, I was still happy at the end. Great movie to watch with your daughters or nieces, which doesn't happen very often nowadays. Nice 80's soundtrack too.
