This movie idea of Irish is soooooo bad. The Irish dancing in the pub with the fiddle and the plaid shirts and the berets. Come on!!!

[@BazTheStoryteller]

HOLLYWOOD: We're gonna make a movie about the Irish! IRISH PEOPLE: 🤦 IRISH FILMMAKERS: No, WE'RE going to make a movie about the Irish. EVERYBODY: 👏👏👏👏

[@SarahRenz59]

Re: the wedding vow rehearsal, I don't know what they do in Ireland, but in the US it's typical to have a wedding rehearsal 1-2 days before the wedding. But we generally don't rehearse the vows. The rehearsal is more about getting the processional and recessional right -- who goes first, who sits/stands where, etc. Essentially it's scene blocking. The wedding party and parents usually go out to dinner afterwards, and the groom's family picks up the tab for the dinner.

[@Clisare]

This I’ve heard of here, been to… two, I think. I just never saw them practice the vow bit 😂

[@jswa1225]

Oh this is a great idea. I was recently a bridesmaid at a place I had never seen before, first down the aisle, realised half way down I had no idea where I was heading. I had not considered before that moment that it would not be obvious.

[@SarahRenz59]

@@jswa1225 How terrifying! Hopefully you figured it out as you went along. I was first down the aisle at my sister's wedding. I remember when the organist started playing the processional, EVERYBODY in the church turned around and was looking at me. For a super introvert like me, it was a nightmare come true! I wound up not getting married myself, but that experience made me swear that no way would I have a church ceremony -- it'd be courthouse all the way!

[@nicolab2081]

I had a vow run through before my wedding (Protestant in Dublin, so not necessarily a widespread thing). It was just husband, vicar and me though, not a 'thing'.

[@nicolad8822]

Talk about stretching things out. We’d never really do the dinner the night before, drink would be taken, it would get late and no one would turn up the next morning. Bridal party needs to be chilling at home in their PJs.

[@Pyrexis]

This is just a Hallmark movie that got put on Netflix (at least that's how your summary makes it out to be)

[@Pyrexis]

Also this seems far from her worst film. That would be The Canyons. Now THAT movie was dogshite.

[@aineneenan7073]

This movie was so entertaining because it was so ridiculous 😂 But my main questions are... How can I get a direct flight from Knock Airport to literally anywhere beyond the Atlantic Ocean?! Where can I find a bus driver that will literally drop me to my door and reverse out the driveway like it's no big deal?!

I've watched this review at least 10 times now. Brilliant roasting. I could go for more movie reviews like this, especially which Irish films you actually like.

[@bloemundude]

By the Tullamore coastline, we Yanks can spin an Irish tale. They may be essentially cinematic sharts but we do make a lot of them, so we make up for the bad quality in volume.

@ConnbineHarvester geographically, or anatomically? The national sheep sheering championship 2024 is being held in Mountbellew, Galway, in June. They shear the sheep all over.

[@drewc981]

This review is hysterical. I haven't watched this movie and have no intention to but I did watch the trailer and was just glad they didn't have Lindsay put on a bad Irish accent. That doesn't seem to be the case with the other actors 😆The part with Brigid looks like an abomination 🤣

[@lorrainethomas241]

When my husband suggested we watch it, I said, "Sure. It'll be awful, but we like Lindsay Lohan." I stand by that. (Honestly, the bit that pissed me off the most was the representation of Brigid. Making a firey goddess into a goofy pixie had me chipping my teeth.)

[@Clisare]

Stop that was criminal

[@LittleJenniren]

It looks like a car crash, but I'm happy for Lohan's return and that's why I watched her Xmas movie and will probably give this one a go too. I mean, it can't be worse than Wild Mountain Thyme (Dornan and Blunt) - I didn't even make it through the first 20 minutes of that. I think Irish Wish is one of those tongue in cheek romance films that knows its hammy. If nothing else, I'll just enjoy the backdrop of Ireland and how walkable the counties are 😆

[@debbieday5812]

I think Saint Brigid is this movie's version of the Hallmark Christmas Movie Santa Clause character

[@bhoola123]

The St. Brigid fairy is wearing Pakistani/Indian salwar kameez, so that just makes it sooooo much better.

Um, about the ploughing championships comment that you made. There is an annual sheep sheering competition in Mayo every July. The ploughing can also be anywhere in the country. It's just been in the Laois location for the last few years, but it's not fixed to there.

[@Clisare]

Thought it was pretty obvious I was being facetious but maybe not

[@uncomfortablynumb-r5s]

Brilliantly produced/edited vid. Impressive. Clare, you know you're good :)

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Great review Clare! As a Southerner, I totally get the accent gripe. Just as I get the scenes that aren't possible in real life. I'm originally from Washington, DC, and it always makes me crazy to see the limo (it's always a limo) in one scene crossing Memorial Bridge, and in the very next scene it's passing in front of the Capitol building from the WRONG DIRECTION TO HAVE COME FROM MEMORIAL BRIDGE. OH, and they're always heading for someplace on Capitol Hill, despite having just past the Capitol, which is ON Capitol Hill. I mean....seriously. Can the filmmakers really not do 5 lousy minutes of research to get things right? Anyway. Rant off, and good blessings to you, Alex, Millie and the baby to be.

[@baerlauchstal]

They're shaky on the geography of the island next door too sometimes. Kevin Costner, as Robin of Lockesley, makes landfall at the white cliffs of Dover, and tells Morgan Freeman they'll be at his father's house by nightfall. In Nottingham. On foot. I mean it's nearly four hours *by car*.

[@fionamb83]

I was blissfully unaware of this 'movie', and see I wasn't missing out on anything lol. Cheesy weak sauce with that formulaic hallmark style, and what's with the silly Irish stereotypes? I'm American, so wouldn't notice, but I'm glad you pointed out they just got up and walked to county Clare😂

[@conorhennessy4823]

One thing you didn't mention was that they went to 'Lough Tay' which is in Wicklow 😂

[@ConnbineHarvester]

I'm Irish and had zero intention of watching this Yank flavoured Paddywhackery! Wait, a big green 60's bus with lovely green seats ... now I'm kinda getting into it ... I tried watching the sponsors ad but I lost interest very quickly and made a cuppa coffee instead ... I've met Saint Bridget so many times when I'm out on rural walks, I usually greet her with "Alright there Bridie, what's the story? Out pickin' mushrooms as usual ye fookin' animal?" ... Mayo looks a lot like Enniskerry, County Wicklow (because it is, I think all towns in "Irish" movies are Enniskerry to be honest) ...

Ha! I watched it on St Patrick's Day as I was sick and couldn't go dance with my friends. Needed a little bit of a home fix. Yes, it was BAD, right up there with Halle Berry's Catwoman, but honestly what did we expect? I just love the scenery. Same reason I watched PS I Love You when it came out. Brigid definitely needs a new stylist!

[@InvisibleBob100]

I'm guessing st brigid is some sort of mrs Doyle of the Fairy Tree on a Green screen community. Give them some credit though, that bus is from the early 50s at least 🤣I'm not sure what's worse, this or that mental thing on Netflix with Christopher Walken being some farmer type from the 30s or something. Thanks for the fun Clare.

WE JUST SAY IT NORMALLY! I was visiting some friends in America and for some reason they found the way we pronounce film funny. Just accept it has two syllables.

[@jcraigwilliams70]

@@lostcarpark I never found it silly but it did seem a bit odd because my mother was the only person I knew who pronounced it that way. When I was a kid, I just thought it was some old-timey, 1940s pronunciation that changed over time. As an adult I never thought of it much at all, but this video triggered the memory.

This review is hilarious 😂. I watched the film knowing it would be a stereotype from start to finish. Why can't Non Irish directors ever check that Irish accents are actually accurate 😅 There is no way that an Irish Director would allow such bad Irish accent to be in a film. I realised from watching it that I still love Lindsay though which is brilliant!

[@Clisare]

Yeah she’s a queen 👸🏼

[@booksteer7057]

A lot of people think that people from New Orleans have a deep, southern accent, but we don't. The make-up of that port city gives it a dialect that sounds more like Brooklyn-ese. I was in a play where I was an Irish cop. I played him with a heavy brogue, and then I realized he was born in America and likely wouldn't have a brogue. I kept it anyway. It was funnier. 😉

Loved your review, Clare! It is unfortunate that she didn't catch a Lilac bus from the Knock airport. They missed a chance to do Maeve Binchy proud. Big miss IMHO in a film about writers. 😂😂😂

[@mind-brainstudio927]

You got it right, Clisare! This is a Hallmark movie made for Americans and (any remaining) Lindsay Lohan fans. The only reason for the mother to be in the film is so they could hire Jane Seymour, who has been crazy popular in the states forever, and shoot all her scenes in half a day. Note she's apparently always at her desk or just a head on FaceTime. I'm sure she was well paid for her cameo appearance. Seymour's name does lend credibility to a Hallmark, er, Netflix movie. Sorry you had to endure the bad accent parade, Claire. The producers obviously didn't think Americans can tell the difference between an Irish, English or Welsh accent. That's why they produce junk like Irish Wish.
