I first knew about this movie from a friend's recommendation. I love Grey's Anatomy and Izzie is my favorite in it so I wanted to watch Katherine Heigl's previous work. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. While the story is undoubtedly clichéd, the girls' performances were great.There is one fun fact, though. Danielle Harris played the younger sister but she is actually a year and a half older that Katherine Heigl. I do think it made sense to reverse the girls' roles. Katherine is not only at least a foot taller than Danielle, she is also much prettier. Besides, since they were supposed to have switched bodies, each of them were playing their own age for most of the movie anyway. I think the girls were perfectly cast in this film.

Wish upon a star is a great film to watch for fun, its a must see in my opinion. Its not got everything but its great for what it is. I can watch it over and over its great fun! everyone and anyone will enjoy it! The cast is great because they have been picked for all the right parts, they suit them very well and they are great to watch. I loved all the clothes they wore in the film, and i know that isn't what made the film good, but it just made it better for me. Its got a great original story line and i loved every minute of it! Its not too long and doesn't drag on but its not too short either. Its clever and the two lead actresses are really good and make it really funny but quite sad at the same time. This is one of the few films that i can watch loads of times and that i would want to buy. I would recommend it to anyone. Its fabulous and fun!

When I first saw this movie I was like 8 and I remember wanting to be like Alexia and have that life style and boyfriend. It was a great movie and then Disney stopped playing it and that sucks because it's really a good movie. (Some Spoilers) I thought that the sisters had a real good bond at the end it made the movie cuter and the whole Kyle and Alexia relationship was sweet. Haley was funny when she was on that table in her outfit and Alexia is practically molesting her boyfriend ! But I got upset because Disney usually played that movie and I would wait to see If it'd be on and now it's 3 years later and it still hasn't played...So I bought the movie off Amazon for 6.99 good deal. The DVD has some stuff that they didn't show on Disney which is cool just like things they say like Alexia was talking about the festival and she says " screw the festival" and the whole cafeteria scene which is funny. So If you love this movie I love you too!! Go buy it or rent it because you'll love it!!!

This is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. It holds a positive note and send an awesome message to all ages. I first saw this movie on the Disney channel and I liked it so much I spent 2 months searching for to buy. Unfortunitly is wasn't available to buy new. I finally found it at a local movie rental place and talked the owner into selling me the only VHS copy. I have recently purchased it on DVD. I would recommend anyone that hasn't seen this movie to invest into buying it or renting it if you can find it. Its on ebay for like $10 shipped to your door.Also when I first saw this movie I was living in Salt Lake City and after a little research I found that a good percentage of the movies was film in the Salt Lake City Area. I found the High School that it was filmed at and also found the house that it was filmed in. I even was able to go inside the house and take a look around, since the house was up for sale. It was really neat to be able to see it up close, let me tell you the house is much larger than in appears to be. Just thought I would share that and I hope that you take the time to sit down with the family and watch this movie it will be time well spent. Enjoy!!!
