Is “Irish Wish,” a holiday romcom starring Lindsay Lohan as an underappreciated book editor, a good movie?

No. Of course not. But why the hell would that matter?

It’s undoubtedly a good move for Netflix, as the studio may have found its answer to the holiday-romance boom dominated by cable-television rivals. With its endless resources, the streamer has here copied the festive meet-cute formula from the likes of Hallmark and Lifetime but added actual locations and a recognizable star.

Repeat 30 times each Christmas, and you’ll get those streaming minutes back up again.

Maddie Kelly (Lohan) is hopelessly devoted to hotshot author Paul Kennedy (Alexander Vlahos), despite the fact that he’s taking all the credit for the bestselling romance novels Maddie is writing for him. Just as she’s about to confess her feelings, he begins a relationship with Maddie’s bestie (Elizabeth Tan); a year later, everyone heads to Ireland for a destination wedding.

At the airport, Maddie has an awkward meeting with a suspiciously handsome side character (Ed Speleers) before reluctantly getting in on the wedding-week festivities. When the gang visits an idyllic and purportedly magic lake, however, Maddie wishes she could trade places with the bride — and a mysterious creature arrives to make her wish come true.

For those hoping for one of the more colorful Irish faeries or at least a respectable banshee, I have bad news: It’s just Saint Brigid (Dawn Bradfield).

The proceedings are predictable and low-stakes, but that’s the point; the nature of films like these is to be affirming and calm, not surprising. Lohan puts in a respectable effort, even if much of the supporting cast — including Jane Seymour, literally phoning in a performance as Maddie’s flustered mother — appears to have received their scripts three minutes before shooting.

By any standard measure of success, the movie is unimpressive at best and soporific at worst. But, somewhere between the sweeping Irish vistas and the earnest performance of a reborn movie star, “Irish Wish” may charm you anyway.

As long as you don’t pay much attention to the dialogue.

My Rating: 4/10

“Irish Wish” is now streaming on Netflix.
