Janeen Damian directs Lindsay Lohan, Ed Speleers and Alexander Vlahos in this romantic comedy set in “Ireland” where a book editor’s wish to marry her dream man disrupts the wedding she has crossed the ocean to attend.

Nobody drinks wine in Ireland… allegedly. Why are all the actors British? Truth be told, if Lindsay Lohan turned up in a small Irish town they’d declare a three day holiday and worship her as a returned pagan goddess. She works her way through about 50 fetch fits here. So as a delivery system to look at stunning Li-Lo, mission accomplished. In all other ways a failure of a film. Is it trying to replicate the blocky textureless tone of her tween films from two decades ago? On purpose? The cliches, the immature characterisations, the non-jokes. It is like Lohan has been stuck remaking Just My Luck on a loop for twenty years. Blarney edition.
