We're all partial to a cheesy romcom - whether we like to admit it or not. And Netflix's latest release, Irish Wish, is no exception.
Starring Linsday Lohan, the film released on Friday March 15, just in time for St Patrick's Day. The Hollywood star plays book editor Maddie Kelly, who finds herself on a supernatural, romantic journey of self-discovery.
When the love of her life gets engaged to her best friend, Maddie puts her feelings aside to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in Ireland. Days before the pair are set to marry, Maddie makes a spontaneous wish for true love.

Irish Wish is currently sat at number two in the UK charts, sandwiched between Top Gun Maverick in the number one spot and Millie Bobby Brown's Damsel in third. The romantic comedy racked up 25.5 million views in its first seven days, becoming the most-watched English title that week.
