Budget tropey romcom, enjoy it for what it is
meemsyd15 March 2024
It's nice to see Lindsay Lohan again, but this movie is not her best work, nor Ed Speeler's. It's mildly enjoyable if you feel like watching a mindless tropey romance, predictable and familiar. There's a love triangle, an element of magic, wedding weekend, meet-cute, caught in a rainstorm etc, so you really feel the similarities to other good romcoms from the 90s & 00s, but it definitely feels like cheaper quality.

Good parts of the film were the scenery, and that the story moved at a good pace since the movie is a standard 1h 30m. Weaknesses were in the cliche unrealistic dialogue (especially with side characters) and the lack of creativity in the story and execution. In no way a classic and I probably wouldn't rewatch it but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Haven't we seen this before?
tamerafarrar-3730416 March 2024
Yes, a thousand times. This movie is basically "Freaky Friday meets "Made of Honor" crossed with "My Best Friend's Wedding." However, it was great seeing Ayesha Curry and of course Lindsay Lohan. Jane Seymour too. Just enjoy the movie for what it is. It's actually entertaining if you don't look too much into it. I was honestly engaged enough to see how Maddie's wish turned back around into the actual situation. And even though I knew how it would turn out, I was still happy at the end. Great movie to watch with your daughters or nieces, which doesn't happen very often nowadays. Nice 80's soundtrack too.

Lindsay's a great actress! Why this movie is so bad:
pixfan18 March 2024
Lindsay Lohan is a very talented actress! I love her & don't understand why she chose this movie. Here are some of the things that didn't work in the movie and what she should consider when choosing her next project: 1. Horrible costume design - really hideous outdated wardrobe for all the women especially. Those bridesmaid dresses were ill-fitting and you could see all the undergarment lines, etc. - just unprofessional costuming.

2. The script was dull with unimaginative dialogue and plot lines that just did not work at all. There was no time & development to build up the relationships to make any of them believable.

3. The hairstyles were frumpy & outdated - from another era - especially Lindsay's never ending hair length that was styled like an elementary school-aged girl.

5. The makeup on her friends looks like it was painted on like a mask and they looked like their faces were pumped up with Botox, lip filler -etc. They looked very unauthentic as real women in their late 20's to early 30's. These Hallmark-type movies have to stop either hiring or encouraging women 30-40 years old to do this to their face. These women look freakish, unreal and look clownish as if playing caricatures of themselves.

6. Weird casting with the groom's mother looking a few decades younger than her husband and having her dressed in pearls, matronly clothes and her Irish accent didn't sound Irish. Please stop giving women actresses over 40 ugly hairstyles from the 1950's - it looks stupid & it's not representative of how women 40-60 REALLY look! When will these movies stop these dumb stereotypes in casting/makeup/casting/script, etc?

The scenes of Ireland were beautiful and music was nice, though way over the top dramatic for certain scenes. With Brad Krevoy & other veterans of these types of movies on board, the movie should have been much better.

Lindsay - you're great! Keep trying and keep looking for better scripts that are worth your talent!

Ooof this was bad.
LukeCustomer217 March 2024
I so wanted to like this but it was plagued by the same thing a lot of the cheaper rom coms tend to have... a robot way of dialog. I do think this script was IA inspired because everything is so flat and plain and 90% of the story is told by exposition, dialog with the main character on the phone to her mom. "Mom you know I have always been in love with X" , Mom says "sweety you know I told you to tell him your feelings". This movie is tell don't show.

The big problem though is there isn't really a ton of chemistry with either of the male actors and Lohan. The guy she is crushing on isn't that great and you can't really see why she is crushing on him. The guy she ends up with they employ the "haters to lovers" trope and do it poorly because there is no reason for them to be fighting. They also use the trope of two people in a room together will fall in love for no other reason than they are together. Also problematic is the music. Poor rom coms tend to have this... music that is plain and doesn't seem to match what is going on tends to hurt the overall story - you feel like the whole thing is trying too hard.

Not sure what the detractors wanted
jordan224019 March 2024
For reference, I'm a 63-year-old straight male. I enjoy chick-flicks more than a lot of women do, it seems, and I enjoyed this one. I'm not sure if the folks who gave this under 5 stars simply have it out for Lindsay Lohan or were expecting something other than what the film wanted to be - a feel-good rom-com suited for all ages.

I know Ms. Lohan has gone through some difficult times, but I don't know that her acting was ever the problem, and I think her acting is quite good here. I found her character very appealing, as were all the characters really (well, maybe except for the author's mother, but the actress played that role well). I found the acting to be just fine across the board, and while the film wasn't a gut-buster, there were a few moments that made me laugh out loud. And the film was far less 'sappy' than many of its genre. Obviously the storyline wasn't realistic, but it also obviously wasn't supposed to be.

I've been to Ireland and the cinematography has me wanting to return.

If you're in the mood for something lite with attractive scenery and music as well as a decent storyline and performances (even if we all know what's coming), I think this will fit the bill nicely.

Amusing by Lindsay Lohan and Ed Speleers charm.
DarkVulcan2912 April 2024
Irish Wish tries to be in the same vein, has such movies like My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) and Maid of Honor (2008), and it almost gets there to a point.

A magical wish gives Maddie (Lindsay Lohan) an editor, a chance to marry the man of her dreams, but is this life she always wanted?

I enjoyed the view of Ireland, makes you feel like your there, and the chemistry between Lindsay Lohan and Ed Speleers is enjoyable, they just play off each other perfectly, just really click. And both of there charming performances is what keeps the movie interesting. But that's about it, everybody else in the film are just null and void, there kind of there nothing more. Jane Seymour has Lohan's mom, does not bring interest here.

Sickly Sweet
destiny_west16 March 2024
I am not going to be over-critical with my review. This movie isn't meant to be anything more than what it is, just a romantic comedy with beautiful scenery. If you are expecting more than that, I suggest you don't bother. The storyline is quaint and predictable. But it was an okay way to spend an hour and a half, even if you were just envious of the backdrop during that time. It is good to see Lindsay Lohan in this rom/com. She is good in the role of her character who can't quite speak up for herself and quite frankly is a bit of a doormat when it comes to her crush Paul Kennedy. But as they say, the grass isn't greener on the other side, it just appears that way. And through a wish to Saint Bridget chaos ensues.

If you just want to put something on and tune out for a while, then give it a go. No, its nothing worth writing home about.

Cute and charming
wesleythegnome16 March 2024
I always wished for Lindsay's star to shine again after she experienced her low period. She's a charming actress, and I think the projects she's been taking on recently suit her. This romcom is better than her last, going from a bit mediocre to good. It's undemanding entertainment, perfect if you're a lover of the genre and if you want something all the generations in your family can enjoy - particularly if you're in the mood for a gentle romantic movie with an engaging cast, and pretty scenery and fashion. It's one of those movies you can have on again and again, and enjoy its charm, like a warm bowl of comfort food. I think the only thing I didn't like was saint Brighid's weirdly dowdy outfit - she's a magical being, she couldn't find anything more enchanting to wear?

A predictable romantic comedy set with a gorgeous scenary
lisafordeay15 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Irish Wish is a 2024 Netflix Romantic Comedy starring Lindsay Lohan (who serves as a producer alongside her husband Badar),EdSpeelers(Breathe),Alexander Vladros,Ayesha Curry,Jane Seymour and Elizabeth Tan. The story follows a book editor named Maddie Kelly(Lohan) who is in love with her publisher Paul Kennedy(Vladros). Things take a turn however when Paul falls for Maddie's best friend Emma(Tan)and he decides to marry her in Ireland.

Heartbroken Maddie makes a wish on a magic stone with a mysterious Irish lady and she wakes up the next day with Paul who she ends up being the bride. Things couldn't be great for Maddie,until she meets a handsome photographer named James(Speelers) and romance starts blossoming between the two.

Now she has to decide who she wants to be with the sly Paul or the friendly James?.

Going into this film I knew what was going to happen but if your a Lindsay Lohan fan then you'll love it. The film itself reminded me of 27 Dresses(girl falls for boss who winds up getting engaged to her sister) meets Leap Year(both are set in Ireland and the girl falls for a guy that's not her bethroed).

Overall I enjoyed it.

Of course it's full of tropes - it's a romcom!
bqrktgjhm15 March 2024
I enjoyed this one it's nice seeing Lindsay in a movie again. Ireland is gorgeous, there's plenty of funny moments and it's a cute movie. Is it the best movie you're ever going to see? No! Is it cute and funny? Yes!

There are other movies with similar plot lines but it seems like every movie is like that nowadays and every book too. There's good chemistry between James and Maddie and the awkwardness between Maddie and Paul is great as well. I don't know if you can really go wrong with an Irish romance with a magical spin, romantic rain, the Cliffs of Moher, and chemistry between the actors that makes you want to keep watching.

A charming and enjoyable romcom
tribal_trudy_0423 March 2024
I enjoyed this. It made me smile. It made me laugh. The locations were beautiful and definitely made me add Ireland to my travel list.

I have always loved Lindsay as an actress- I grew up when people like her and Hilary Duff were everywhere and I loved them both (no matter how cheesy or predictable their ventures/shows/films were). She could be in a show eating cheese (something that I'm allergic too) and I'd probably still find her project charming cause she's good at what she does. Happy this made number 1 on Netflix. Watched it the first day it came out in the UK. Bring on more Lindsay projects.

Lindsay is definitely the standout in this cast, as well as her true love interest. I have no problem with a romcom being predictable, and really not sure why it's such a problem for people. I want romcoms to be feel-good and predictable because life is complicated enough. Romcoms for me are like these warm hugs, cups of soup, blankets for can snuggle under. Indeed, for most romcoms you can predict the outcome in the trailer- that was the same with Bridget Jones and other great romcoms and it's the same thing with this. There are fun twists and turns in this film of course and it's fun to see how they get to the predictable conclusion, and on some level the Irish Wish reminded me a little of 13 going on 30 (another great romcom). I enjoyed the cast - they all did great jobs in their role and I left the film with a smile on my face. I'd also be happy to watch this again which is why I thought it was a good enough job and 7/10.

Everything you'd expect from a Lifetime channel movie
jbrown51024 March 2024
Totally bizarre to see this on Netflix because it has everything you'd expect from a Lifetime movie. If you love Lifetime movies, you'll likely enjoy 'Irish Wish,' but if not, it's a definite skip. The writing feels cheesy and elementary, lacking the depth.

It seems as if scenes were barely rehearsed, giving off the impression that the first take was often the final take, leading to performances that feel unpolished and sometimes awkward.

The plot, while aiming for heartwarming, often veers into predictability, failing to offer any real surprises or moments of genuine emotion. The characters are broadly drawn, lacking complexity, making it difficult to truly invest in their journeys.

Despite these criticisms, 'Irish Wish' may find its audience among those looking for light, uncomplicated entertainment. It's the kind of movie that doesn't demand much from its viewers, making it a perfect fit for a lazy afternoon when you're looking to switch off your brain and indulge in some predictable romance. Just don't go in expecting anything interesting or new.

As corny, predictable and kitsch as a leprechaun in a Dublin gift shop
Bobalopacus24 March 2024
I should state that I am not the target audience for this movie, but I am not averse to the occasional well made rom-com.

This isn't either well-made or funny or particularly romantic, but it has a tepid charm to it if you're willing to set your expectations extremely low and may appeal to a younger audience. It certainly has little to say to adults, being essentially a preteen girls fantasy, yet not really appropriate for that audience either.

However, if you're looking for something undemanding with some pretty scenery it might pass the time.

I haven't seen Lindsay Lohan in anything since 2005's Herbie movie and I barely recognised her. It is well known that actresses in their late-thirties to fifties struggle to find decent leading roles, however Lohan isn't doing herself any favours by being cast in a role she seems too old for. Certainly people in their late thirties can struggle to find a suitable partner, but most of them have lived a little by that point.

Lohan's character, Maddie Kelly, is an unassertive editorial assistant who falls for a famous writer she works for and has just gathered the courage to declare her feelings to him when he falls for someone else.

It is never made clear what Maddie has being doing with her life up to this point.

She doesn't appear to have had any previous relationships, lacks the confidence to pursue her ambitions, is totally incapable of recognising that the object of her affection is a shallow, narcissistic, domineering a***hole and doesn't appear to have any friends of any substance. Despite all this, she seems perfectly content.

When confronted with a semi-nude man who she apparently has the hots for, she recoils as if having never been in that position before.

She still relys on her mother for advice and is easily pushed into situations she is uncomfortable with.

All this might be believable if she was in her late teens/early twenties and this was a coming-of-age tale, but without a backstory to account for her situation it just seems odd at nearly forty to be acting like this.

To add to this incrogruity, we are told Maddie is a talented author, but the only indication that she writes is a single scene in which she sits at a computer and we read on the screen 'Untitled Novel, Chapter One..' and then a blank screen as if she is struggling to come up with something...'Once upon a time' perhaps?

Similarly, when asked who her favourite author is she claims 'James Joyce', which makes you wonder why she is helping to write trashy romance novels and not astoundingly inventive and complex literary masterpieces - it is almost as if the screenwriters simply googled 'famous Irish author' and thought 'never heard of him but he'll do'.

It is at moments like these that Irish Wish is unintentionally amusing.

Putting that aside, Lohan does have screen presence so it's a shame that her character is poorly written, the dialogue so lacking in spark or wit and the plot entirely predictable and generic.

The introduction, fairly early on, of a low-fantasy element does allow the set designers to almost get away with some very corny scenes of Ireland with fake looking environments and almost insulting cliches about the irish, but the magical is merely a plot device here and is never played out to it's full potential.

The supporting cast do little to help matters. Whilst there is some miniscule chemistry between Maddie and James, played by Ed Speelers, they hardly set the screen alight and are let down again by weak dialogue. Meanwhile, the predictable spat between two of the main characters lacks either humour or believable motive.

Every now and then Maddie randomly trips over - maybe this was where the laughs were meant to be inserted?

Jane Seymour pops up as Maddie's mother, but is curiously underwritten and never appears on screen with Lohan suggesting her inclusion might have been a last minute one. Paul Kennedy plays the author mentioned above, but his character is too thinly sketched to be anything other than a prop for plot development, whilst Ayesha Curry has no discernible character at all - merely serving to add occasional exposition (and more cynically, perhaps, diversity).

I could tell, two minutes in, that Irish Wish wasn't going to be up to much, but saw it through to the end, so you don't have to.

Irish Wish shares a lot in common with Bridget Jones' Diary ( very mild spoiler alert: clumsy woman seeking career recognition falls for inappropriate domineering boss and is fought over by two men) but makes that film look like a cinematic masterpiece.

Formula with Basic Likability
Sarah4237 April 2024
I'll be honest and say I didn't feel the chemistry of this ensemble, which is a major part of the success of these formula movies.

However, I'm here for Lohan's efforts in bringing us comfortable stories with likable actors, so I'm still not going to drag it down.

Love her, love Ed Speleers. Love the Irish locations and beautiful shots.

It's a fantasy romcom, so that viewers need a suspension of disbelief is clear from the start. (Not sure why anyone would complain about that, given it "is what it is" from the intro)

Not going to give it higher than a seven, granted, but it was a decent movie for a Saturday afternoon. In this climate, that's a LOT.

Very poor script and even worse fashion
cdbnewtown15 March 2024
This had so much potential but the script is so bad it sent the movie downhill fast. A very predictable story line that could have been really entertaining if written well. Then the diversions to and conversations with Maddie's mother added to the disjointed feeling this movie has.

Did the wardrobe department raid the nearest op shop for the clothing? Couldn't they at least have matched wardrobe colours to complement each character? What a hodge podge of horrible clothing that doesn't even resemble contemporary styles. The characters seemed to dress well in the states and all of this fell to pieces once they headed to Ireland. Seriously does the director really believe this is how people dress in Ireland? Please, if you're going to get Lohan to wear a short skirt put her legs in a pair of pantyhose or photoshop her knees. Some nice scenery but otherwise a sad waste of time.

Wasted opportunity
Ina_L15 March 2024
The story had really nice potential, but unfortunately it was wasted. A lot of things should be written better, it seems like some stories were suddenly cut, like something is missing. Some scenes really felt unnatural. We needed to see more of her relationship with her friends, especially her relationship with Emma.

Lindsay was great as always, but she was not enough to make this movie look better. Chemistry in my opinion is very important in romcom movies and she definitely had more chemistry with Ed than Alexander that is why there should have been more scenes with him.

The ending was too rushed it should have been longer and better written.

Cute fantasy romance
herrcarter-9216123 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a sweet, fun romance, with a bit of fantasy thrown in. It was basically your typical Hallmark-esque rom-com with slightly better production values and a bigger star, in the person of Lindsey Lohan. She's great throughout, providing a cute, relatable heroine with a good sense of comedic timing. The premise of the story is intriguing. What would you do if you could wish for a different life, together with the person you think you want but thought you could never have? I also enjoyed the beautiful Irish scenery. The movie definitely provided you with a lot of eye candy.

This movie certainly borrows a lot from other rom-coms. 27 Dresses and Leap Year immediately come to mind. This movie is mostly fun and enjoyable, but, to be honest, those other movies did it better. I'd describe this film as underdeveloped. Somehow, I never felt the intense emotions that Lohan's character Maddie supposedly felt for the Irish writer Paul. When she's transformed to the reality where she's engaged to Paul, she seems mostly awkward around him. She needed a character arc, where she was initially enjoying being with Paul (she didn't even kiss him!) and then slowly realizes that she's not really happy with him. The romance between her and English photographer James was also not developed that well. Oh, there were moments, but on the whole, that relationship felt forced and half-baked. Also, they tried to do the enemies-to-lovers trope, but it wasn't very convincing. So, they get off on the wrong foot because she fights with him over his suitcase that she claims is hers? Really? Also, if you're going to use that trope, there needs to be a lot more back-and-forth sparring and witty banter between the two of them. The characters in Leap Year did this much better.

Had I been the screenwriter, here's how I would've had things play out. Maddie is initially ecstatic about being in the alternate reality, where she's engaged to Paul. She takes full advantage of the situation. James, on the other hand, is an annoying guy who gets on her nerves, but she has to deal with him because he's the photographer. They regularly trade barbs with each other. James photographs both Maddie and Paul at the Cliffs of Moher, but Paul is kind of dismissive of Maddie and calls an Uber to take him back to the house for something he considers more important, leaving Maddie to finish out the shoot alone and forcing her to ride back with James, much to her annoyance. The attempted ride back is an unmitigated disaster, with James' car sliding off the road in the rain and crashing, with both of them getting muddy and wet. The roads are impassible in the storm until morning, leaving a furious Maddie to spend the night with James at the pub, where they have to share the same room because it's the only one left. They slowly warm up to each other at the pub, dancing and playing darts and eventually sharing personal details about their lives. She faces some serious introspection, where she wonders why she is even together with an egocentric leech of a guy like Paul, who is passing off her great writing as his own. She also realizes that James isn't as bad as she originally thought. Perhaps he has had some heartbreaks in his past, which led him to his nomadic, attachment-free life as a photographer. They return for the wedding, and Paul and Maddie's friend Emma have connected while she was gone. Then you have the rest of the movie play out as it did, with her confession that she doesn't love Paul, the fight between Paul and James at the wedding, etc. See, much better plot. The paid screenwriters who wrote the script for this movie could've and should've come up with a plot more like that. Maybe they were under a deadline, so they didn't have the time to do it better?

This isn't a perfect movie, but for what it was, a light, airy, fantasy romance, it was reasonably entertaining and a decent way to pass a couple of hours. Just enjoy it for what it is, and don't think too much about it.

1/10 is TOO GENEROUS. IRISH PEOPLE THIS IS MEGA OFFENSIVE
ctmcdonald9420 March 2024
THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE

It's offensive to the Irish. Classic Hollywood making us look backwards. Also, there is not one Irish person in this movie. AN ENGLISH FAMILY OWNS AN IRISH CASTLE! It doesn't get any more offensive than that. There's also no way an Irish person worked on the crew either, as there's no other explanation for some of the things that made it into this movie.

The script is so bad, I'm convinced AI wrote it.

Anyone rating this 10/10 works for Netflix.

Anyone rating it 6/10 - 9/10 is either an id*ot or works for Netflix.

Anyone rating it 2/10 - 5/10 is American.

So bad... but left me smiling
jessi-18-1133429 April 2024
A corny, nonsense, simple movie with a billion flaws BUT it left me with a smile on my face. Not sure what else one needs from a light hearted 90 minute distraction. Definitely nothing deeper to be found in it, but if you feel like some mindlessly feel good entertainment then this is a great choice. The chemistry between the main characters was great and the scenery was beautiful. Takes me back to a simpler time when movies were short and sweet and there to make you happy... not all about the apocalypse or blood and gore. A simple happy love story! Sometimes that's all you need it to be. But again, don't expect more than that!

Shocking olde diddley eye stereotype of Ireland
louiselaffan15 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Awful. Far fetched. Predictable. Stereotypes abound at every turn. Honestly sick of Irish people being portrayed like this....want to make a movie in Ireland? Spend some actual time here first!

The plot is mean spirited, although it does redeem itself in the end. A lot of the cast are miscast in my opinion. On the positive side, Lohan and Speelers have good chemistry, the latter being a shining light in this and he carries the film pretty much alone.

I love LL and honestly rooting for a successful comeback for her, but this is not the way to do it.

The 2 stars are purely for the beautiful scenery in this. Ireland looks absolutely incredible, which it is. Ashford Castle steals the show.

Yes, this is a Light-Hearted Rom Com
bm-4400618 March 2024
If you are looking for a serious theatrical gem, "Irish Wish" is not that. But if you are looking for something light-hearted, sweet and beautifully photographed, then maybe this is for you. Lindsay Lohan is adorable in this role as an editor. Her effort to find her try identity and not that given her by those around her, like her mom (Jane Seymour) are laudable. Lindsay Lohan's character (she is very believable as a woman with some hidden Irish connection), eventually finds a love that is not what she expected, assisted by an old Irish saint (a witch by another word). The plot sticks to the Rom Com genre formula with a love that is not originally what it seemed. It is formulaic. But it is also charming. It is beautiful. It is easy to watch and a nice evening with a loved one.

Light-hearted romcom
piispanenella28 March 2024
I'm giving this movie 7 for satisfactory. It did what it needed to do. Irish Wish sets up a similar plot we've seen many times in 90s and 2000s romcoms. Theres a girl who works as some type of writer/editor and she goes on an adventure and finds the guy shes supposed to be with out of the two male love interests.

Now for the review, without giving too much a way from the plot its pretty straightforward easy to follow. Theres some fun quirky characters that are a bit two dimensional but mainly the story revolves around Lindsay Lohan's character's trip in Ireland and her unrequited love interest Paul and James a guy she meets on the bus on her way to her friends wedding in Ireland.

The scenary is very beautiful in the movie. The dialogue is a bit cringey, but thats kinda what makes it funny. Its nowhere near the iconic romcoms from 90's and 00's but its fun to watch with friends and have a good evening. I think you'll enjoy it if you don't take the movie too seriously since it definitely doesn't take itself too seriously.

Most generic movie ever
CosyCatNap23 March 2024
I expected something harmless but pleasant, maybe too sweet. Nope. I wish! It is flavorless, totally bland. Completely generic in every aspect. Even silly stuff requires some creativity to be fun. Some chemistry between the actors. Unfortunately this movie lacks both, to such an extent that it seems created by AI without human intervention. Characters are not characters but points on a checklist. Cardboard cutouts. And let's not talk about Lindsay Lohan, who always delivers her lines in a frenzy, giving the impression she's in a hurry to be somewhere else. I know people cheer on her because of the troubles she's had but sorry... she is far from being the only troubled actor in history, shouldn't we wish success on the really talented ones?

i hope this will be their last movie
cekimurat22 March 2024
It was the most cliche movie i ever watched not only you can guess everything. It is not funny and it is not romantic. There is nothing in this movie. Happy ending was so predictable. Acting was horrible. Deserves 1 star because of beauty of Ireland and sets.

I really don't understand how this movie can be top 1 on netflix. I watched till the credits maybe i will find something but it is a disappointment if this movie is rated 5.2. I am also questioning integrity of reviews.

Last thing i can say is if i can save someone elses time that's my motive of leaving review for this movie. Thank you. Cheers.

A bad wish..
ts-000015 March 2024
Was ok.. If you like a typical storyline done numerous times,full of standard clichés.

Best can be also described as a fluff,no filler type movie & character development was weak & felt Ireland as a whole was stereotyped.

Acting to actors was average,cinematography & music was decent.

Feel maybe how it ended could of been wrapped up differently where it showed,Maddie became successful writing a book or did get married still could of been worse.

It had a running time of 1hr & 33m yet felt,as though it drenched on.

Regardless of a wish gone wrong.. Don't feel could forgive my friend or fiancée,over them acting how they did.

Only positive some of the beautiful scenic locations,wish they would of used the opportunity to show a lot more.

Nothing that is worthy of another watch,probably won't recommend it.
