Another Disney made for TV movie...trying to promote its' young stars. The actress this time is Debbie Ryan..who is apple fresh and glowing..and fairly talented too. She has been on another of Disneys' TV shows.."The Suite Life On Deck"..and now she gets a shot at becoming a major Disney star. The movie is typical Disney fare..the main character is faced with a major problem..seeks to find a way to fix it..and somehow manages to mess things up...because she was too greedy and wanted to be someone other than who she was. She then gets a second chance to fix things back to normal..and finally, she does...learning a lesson in the process. All is saved and everyone goes home happy. It is predictable as all things Disney are when it comes to movies..but kids should enjoy it..especially pre teen and teen girls. Fairy tales do come true...and while real life is not quite like this...it is fine family fare. The only thing I had a problem with is that I wish they would stop stereo-typing the characters so much. :)

16 wishes is a light comedy with a predictable story but a feel good plot overall. The performances were good as well and the movie entertaining till the very ending. So five out of ten.

With an all north of the border cast, The Suite Life On Deck's Debby Ryan gets to star in a Disney Studio production of 16 Wishes. The number of course is to correspond with the sweet 16 she has become. Though the sweet sixteen experience is a female one, I think even the male of the species could come up with sixteen things that could be considered pretty frivolous that one might have wished for at sixteen. Somethings you wouldn't wish for at even 26, let alone 66.

Which is the lesson Ryan learns. She's planned out her sixteenth birthday party and even though the day starts out horribly when wasps are discovered to be making a nest in the unused attic of her home, she gets those 16 candles from a 'magical person' played by Anna Mae Routledge. Sure enough as is the usual way of things in film and life, granting those wishes that she's laid out for herself doesn't make her a happier camper.

16 Wishes is a charming fantasy from that fantasy factory the Magic Kingdom. Debby Ryan is a sweet and talented young lady and she really does hold the film together. Nothing spectacular, but a nice family comedy and it does once again reinforce the old adage about being careful what you wish for.

As an older brother to a younger sibling who frequents Disney Channel fare, I often sit down with her to watch certain Disney movies/shows. Some I enjoy, while others (like this one) are just a bit too contrived/silly to draw in anyone but the youngest of viewers.

For a basic plot summary, "16 Wishes" tells the 16th birthday story of Abby Jenson (Debby Ryan). When her big day gets off on the wrong foot, Abby is granted 16 b-day wishes by a magical being. As the wishes mount, Abby begins to realize what a 16th birthday really SHOULD be all about.

In pretty much all cases, current Disney fare walks the fine line between charming and cheesy. The good stuff (e.g. High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place) stay charming, while the others descent into contrived silliness. In this case, the storyline is just too predictable to ever really suck you in.

On a more positive note, the acting in this film is very watchable. Ryan may just be the next big Disney star (for better or worse), while Jean-Luc Bilodeau (of Kyle XY fame) nearly steals the show as Abby's best friend. The "villain" of the story is way too over-the-top, but other than that the characters are quite well done.

Basically, this is a flick for younger children (no questionable material) and the earliest of pre- teens. Viewers of any older age will realize the silliness and tune out before reaching the finale.

Well I've seen this a lot of times, but it's not giving me the best vibes, but the worst either. I love watching it but it's more something I watch in the background than watching while actually sitting and enjoy.

I think if you like the tv show Jessie, this is good to watch, at all it is Debby Ryan, but it's not because you get the feelings out with this one and it can be a little weird. But well it is cute and a fine family movie if you have kids in the age of 7-14 ish.

I really enjoyed this film and it's makes you wish you got candles on your 16 birthday that you could make wishes. I think it's a must see Disney film I enjoyed Debby Ryan acting in the film and found her funny to watch. Rate this a great film.

Such a spoiled brat. I was wishing her parents had spanked her. The cast was okay, but the acting was pretty bad. I wanted to see this because of Jean-Luc Bilodeau because he was so great in Kyle XY, but this certainly couldn't have helped his career much. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but I generally really like high school movies and TV shows. But this is a stinker. Wow, 10 lines is a lot for bad movies like this. Without giving away any plot points, all I can really say is that it's a ridiculous movie with a great cast but a terrible script and bad acting. I won't waste my time watching this one again. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and I only hope Mr. Bilodeau will be more discerning in the future about the roles he chooses.

Wait a minute. Someone compared this to 13 going on 30? That's a pure insult to Christa B Allen and Jennifer Garner!

I adore this movie! So happy & fun, love the plot!

I think we all know what we're getting into when we go to watch a Disney movie about teens, so I don't really have much to say. However, With the outfits and the unrealistic rivalry over a boy that lasted way longer than what would be considered sane, the fact that this was produced in 2010 hit me hard. The only good thing about this movie was the sense of nostalgia it emanated because of how dated it is. I wouldn't say I loved this movie when I was a child but it was definitely important enough to leave a mark on my childhood. Up until the age of 12 I kept a list hoping this would happen to me. Even though the plot was as riveting as a piece of cardboard it still holds a special space in my heart. However, if you're reading this trying to figure out if you want to watch it, don't. Where most movies have a mountain of a climax, this movie has a ditch of disappointment. If I could've even understood what was happening I'm sure I could write an entire essay in where this movie went wrong. I'm not even sure there's a lesson at the end. All I took from the movie is hurt someone physically and socially to get what you want. Which I guess is a better lesson than some other movies.

"People will stop treating me like a kid" is one of the 16 wishes that Abby Jensen has been collecting and writing on a highly decorated piece of paper for eight years now, when she was half the age she is today, on her sweet 16th birthday's morning. Magics worked quite well for other wishes, that day: she meets her favourite pop star, she gets a new fabulous dress, and even a car and a driving license, she wins school elections, and so on. But with this particular wish magic shows a glitch: not only she is not more "treated like a kid", she actually isn't a kid anymore! (22, not so much). Misinterpretation. And she is suddenly projected into a new existence. Her parents send her to a new apartment, which she is expected to pay for with the gains of her (unexistent) job; worse: even her bff, Jay, doesn't recognize her, at the beginning. Sad. And - much worse - when he eventually remembers, she is still, for him and everybody else, an older person. Sadder. Unexplainable.

A final magic trick restores her to the morning of her birthday, and her life, to her relievement, starts again, in a new way, not like the gloomy picture acquired when she was an adult. But - hark - not even like the first start: her relationships with people, and the course of action is radically changed. Third time around, a third future (or present?), sure. There's no magic without logic.

I watched "16 Wishes" hoping for a lighthearted, feel-good flick, and to be fair, it delivered on that front. Abby (Debby Ryan) is a sweet enough character-her desire to have her 16 birthday wishes granted is relatable, and Ryan does her best to make Abby likeable. The concept had potential; who hasn't daydreamed about getting everything you wanted, only to realise that maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be?

The film, though, started to lose its spark for me when Abby's wishes started causing more chaos than joy. I didn't expect deep character development, but the rushed, shallow transformations of some of the secondary characters felt like a missed opportunity. Abby's best friend, Krista (Jean-Luc Bilodeau), seemed a bit too one-dimensional, and I honestly couldn't figure out why they were such close friends when they hardly seemed to click in a meaningful way. I know it's a light film, but even in that context, the lack of depth made the dynamics feel weak.

I also found the pacing a bit off-some scenes dragged on longer than necessary, while others skipped over details that could've been more engaging. I liked the idea of Abby using her wishes to learn important life lessons, but it felt too predictable, like you knew what was going to happen next, making it hard to get excited.

That said, the ending did bring everything together quite nicely, and there's a certain charm in the way Abby finally understands the value of her wishes. It wasn't groundbreaking, but it left me with a warm feeling. I think if the characters had been more developed and the storyline a bit tighter, this film could have been something special. Still, it wasn't a complete waste of time-just not as magical as I'd hoped.

16 Wishes is a very fun and lighthearted movie. It's aimed to entertain teen girls, which it definitely succeeded in doing so.

The movie is about a teenage girl who just turned 16 and looking forward for her best birthday ever. She gets a box of 16 candles which correlate to her 16 wishes she made for when she was a little girl. Every time she lit up a candle, a wish would come true. It's a very nice concept and I enjoyed the movie a lot. It teaches many things to teenagers and kids watching this movie yet entertaining them at all times.

However, there are some flaws. First of all, the characters, especially the main character, don't seem to act as a teenagers would regularly act. The dialogue is sometimes odd and makes it very clear to the audience that the script was written by a 40 year old. The plot and concept are very good and I was definitely hyped to watch this movie when I heard the concept, however the story is very predictable and cliché. But this is a Disney teen movie, what do you expect?

Nonetheless, 16 Wishes is a great movie for people who just want to enjoy a lighthearted film with their family or friends.

For every 2006 kid that usually switched on Disney channel, this is THE childhood movie.

I remember them replaying it usually and I've always watched it because of Debby Ryan , because I started missing Jessie i little bit too much.

The story has an interesting point. Kind of stolen from their original cartoons such as Snow White and Cinderella.

The acting is on top for a kids movie from the 2000s'

The idea of having your 16 wishes throughout a whole day of adventures then suddenly ending up being 21 doesn't really add up to me much ,but I guess it still works ,since it shows how good it is to be a child.
