Once again, it’s that time of year when mostly American filmmakers choose to deceive audiences with a romantic comedy, dubbed Paddywackery. Irish Wish on Netflix is the Hallmark Christmas movie for St Patrick’s Day.
It is obvious that I am not the target demographic because I am Irish. It is amazing that these movies are being released on this side of the Atlantic considering how clearly they were intended for a US audience; yet, I am probably the best person to review it.
When Will Irish Wish Be Released?
Early Tweets from those involved in the project claimed that Irish Wish would get released on Netflix in 2023, but it soon became evident that it would be delayed until 2024. It is now confirmed that Irish Wish will be available on Netflix globally on March 15, 2024.
