The film follows Lindsey, played competently by the lead actress, as she attempts to secure land for a resort while participating in a local matchmaking festival. The plot unfolds in a manner that is familiar to fans of the genre, but it is the vibrant portrayal of the Irish culture and the festival that adds a unique flavour to the experience. Clare Niederpruem’s direction ensures that the film flows smoothly, though it sometimes lacks the depth that could elevate it beyond standard fare. The performances are generally solid, with a particularly engaging chemistry between the leads. Overall, As Luck Would Have It offers an enjoyable, if somewhat formulaic, escape into a world where love conquers all, making it a decent watch for those seeking a light romantic film. Show less
