Netflix fans go wild over romance film with Hollywood star calling it 'the best' they've seen
Netflix fans have given rave reviews of a romance movie starring Lindsay Lohan, saying it is 'the best' example of a film from the genre they have seen.
Taking to the Facebook group Netflix Bangers, which has over three million members, one user enquired to see if the film was worth watching.
Responding in the comments, others were effusive in their praise of the film, commenting: 'I loved it so much'.
Another wrote: 'Loved loved loved this movie! I’ve watched it 3 times already. The best romance movie!'
One gushed: 'I loved it so much'.
The film in question is Irish Wish, which follows the journey of Maddie Kelly (Lohan), a book editor whose dream man is just days away from marrying her best friend in Ireland.
However, a spontaneous wish made on an ancient stone magically alters her fate and turns her into the bride.
After the film was officially announced in September 2022, production began in Ireland that same month.

The film was subsequently released on Netflix in March 202 and debuted at number one on Netflix's most-watched list of films just one day after its release.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, but Lohan's performance and chemistry with Ed Speleers - who played the character of James Thomas - were praised.
It caused Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos to note the success of the film, as he remarked: 'Irish Wish' is great!
I am going by the numbers, how many people watch it. I mean, people watch the whole thing.
People generally turn off things they don't like in this on demand world. 65 million people watched that movie. It's an enormous hit, and people love it,' he told The New York Times.
However, writing in The Guardian, Benjamin Lee gave the film one out of five stars, penning: 'Netflix has specialised in the kind of anodyne content that can be popped on in the background while some ironing is done, unlikely to ever distract from the key task at hand.
'It’s what we expect from them at this stage but it’s not what we wish for Lohan, an actor back on the ladder who deserves to climb a lot higher than this.'
