Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic When two stars have “chemistry,” we tend to think of it as basic animal magnetism. And maybe that’s the essence of it. Yet when a romantic movie works, even a synthetic magical rom-com trifle like “Irish Wish,” what draws us into the chemistry isn’t simply the actors’ sexy connection.
It’s that the two characters have chemistry, and that each actor has it with the audience. (In that way, screen chemistry is a bit of a threesome.) That’s the connection Lindsay Lohan and Ed Speleers have in “Irish Wish. The movie is as frothy as the foam on a pint of Guinness, as formulaic as the last disposable Netflix rom-com.
Yet these two make you believe that they belong together, and not every romantic comedy does that. “Irish Wish” takes place in a version of the real world flecked with fairy-tale fantasy. But before we even arrive at the mystical part, the first sign that the movie’s feet aren’t quite on the ground arrives in the opening scene, when Paul (Alexander Vlahos), a tall, dark, and handsome popular novelist, is greeted like a movie star, posing for paparazzi in front of a red-carpet event that turns out to be…a book reading.
(His latest tome is called “Two Irish Hearts.”) If you want to know how ticky-tacky “Irish Wish” is, Lohan’s Maddie, who is Paul’s editor, walks into the event and runs into her two friends, Emma (Elizabeth Tan) and Heather (Ayesha Curry), and then picks up a copy of the book from a stack of them and says, “Heather, great job on the cover art!” “You like it?” says Heather. “It’s stunning!” says Maddie. The film seems to have no idea that an editor at a publishing house would already have been working on the cover directly with the designer.
