Film Review - Love of the Irish

LOVE OF THE IRISH 1

Last St. Patrick’s Day season, Netflix tried to merge the ways of Irish fantasy and the labor of formulaic romantic comedies in “Irish Wish,” giving star Lindsay Lohan a chance to continue her new career path as a holiday movie queen. The picture wasn’t very creative or endearing, and now, for the new year, there’s “Love of the Irish,” finding Hallmark Channel attempting to bring a little warmth to viewers with the endeavor. Star Shenae Grimes-Beech is put behind the wheel of her own rom-com, and writer Justin D. James is taking no chances with the effort, keeping everything perfectly digestible as hearts yearn and culture clashes commence. And yet, once the routine of it all is worked through, there’s a lot to enjoy about the mild feature. Director Ali Liebert delivers enough Irish charm to pass, and there’s a decent level of emotional content once the material settles into character. Also helping the cause is a supporting turn from Moira Kelly, a vastly underutilized actress who scores big here when it comes to sincerity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
