Indeed I had my expectations as to what I was getting myself into when I sat down to watch "A Wish Come True", but still opted to go with it. It could actually be a surprisingly nice movie and totally prove me wrong.This is a very generic and stereotypical Hallmark movie in every sense of that meaning. The storyline was as sappy as they come, which was as to be expected from such a movie. And it was also every bit as predictable as they come.The cast was adequate, and the acting talents were doing fair enough jobs with their given roles, despite not really having much to work with. Megan Park actually did a fair enough job carrying the movie.There are far better movies out there if you enjoy these types of sappy Hallmark movies. For a romantic comedy such as this then "A Wish Come True" didn't really fare rather well, and it just didn't offer anything extraordinary to the romantic comedy genre. And it wasn't even because it was a movie primarily aimed at an all-female audience, because that was not the case. The movie just wasn't all that good, to be bluntly honest.
... View MoreThe primes of the story was cute, I like the idea but none of the cast had any chemistry, not even the main couple .. the acting was bad, really really bad! Also, the heroine looked so much younger than her age, not just in looks but her acting ... This was a big fail for me ..
... View MoreI literally only persuaded my friends to watch this movie because the lead character is always A VILLAIN in every movie I've seen her in. Again, she was a villain in this one. The girl literally didn't realize Dave (the best man ever in existence) loving her dearly. She is cruellll. af. So, this is mostly a copy of Debbie Ryan's 16 wishes. We don't talk about the OLD ancient 16 wishes. Just debbie, jessie, my lady. At the beginning of the movie, we time skipped FIVE YEARS with no WARNING??? that's how long i remember being alive. So now, this woman is gonna turn 30. so ofc she is worried bout KIDS. MENSTRUAL PERIODS. she wants a child, but first she needs a mans. So, as a result, we had like 50 whole mans! Anyways.... so , this chick wishes for her wishes to come true- #DAvEdEsErVesBETTER because she's literally 12 years old, which makes her dating older men even more WEIRD than it already was.. she gets on the scale. it says 122. #davedeservesbetter SHE SAYS SHES FAT! does this girl even know what she has going on for her? not the glasses. not the dresses. not the personality. the weight? eh. maybe. i mean, dave seemed to like her anyways i guess. whatever. So we get a puppy THROWN IN but with no name, and literally almost no contribution to the plot except that he makes the house messy. also??> #davedeservesbetter it's never explained when she clean this?? but we come back and it's very clean. Her wishes were soooo lame. Like, wish for cancer to be eliminated? You selfish beotch. Wish for no poverty??? this privileged girl get out. this is a list of who is the good people, this is who will go to heaven. 1. dave 2. puppy 3. joey 4. dad 5. mix of reed and billy (hell) All of these characters are better than Lindsay, otherwise known as Satan.We took a break and watched the kitten bowl to bring ourselves back to sanity. This movie made us develop various problems... For some reason, every hallmark movie we watch- resolves everything in the last 10 minutes. HOW? Do they just run out of time?? Like, the problems aren't even there until a minute earlier. Then they're solved. Was there a point of having an hour and 23 long minute movie....if we're gonna have every issue last 5 mins.? No? Only me? No. #davedeservesbetter Lastly, Dave deserved better. He should have moved on. Lindsay should have dated Billy and divorced him later like her mom and dad.. Dave would marry me in the end, we would go rock climbing. It would be a lovely time.Also, we would take the puppy in custody for it's own protection- naming the cute pupper Momo. :') Sam, Dave's future wifey.
... View MoreVery sub-par entry in the Hallmark romance line-up. Nothing to recommend it except Ben Hollingsworth and his performance. Very lazy production. I liked Megan Park's looks (not your typical ex-beauty queen thing going on...thank-you for sparing me that at least), but her character was boring and charmless. The whole story consists of her getting all of her childhood wishes. Utterly predictable "Be careful what you wish for" scenario. All of these Hallmances are predictable but the better ones have some good conflict, maybe a little suspense, an evil nemesis to hiss and boo at, a nice learning curve, some good humor, nice performances, great chemistry or,golly, something to entertain and keep your interest. This one had none of these in addition to an incredibly annoying father and ex-boyfriend. The rival for her hand was a nonentity. The scene at the end where the doggie put a mysterious note in the trashcan was bewildering.
