Wish Man

Great movie about a great story. Actors play the story straight and true.

It astounds me the lack of compassion and human kindness in the world right now and some of these 1 or 2 out of ten mean reviewers just prove it. This 1 star means it is the worst movie you have ever seen and this is certainly nothing like that;

Great story, well acted and great music along with a fair amount of atmosphere; especially in the flashbacks make this one of the better dramas out this year.

I have to admit I did have a tear in my eye on more than one occasion; big girls blouse mode lol so in my experience when a film can evoke emotion such as that then it cannot be that bad. I rarely give anything more than a 5 or 6 out of ten these days as there are so few movies that merit anything above that but this is a solid 8/10.

The movie had me gripped from the beginning, right to the end! All the actors did incredible work bringing Frank's story to life! I was blessed to see it in my hometown and everyone was moved in the theater. The movie will touch many lives just like "Make a Wish" has! Frank Shankwitz's legacy now lives on in his movie too as it encourages us that no matter what we have been through, we all can make a difference!

I don't understand how this movie is getting these ratings . I literally had to make sure that there isn't some other film with the same title. I think all these amazing reviews and ratings are from the film crew and their families and friends. It's not a terrible picture but still not a great one. This is at best a TV movie.

With a rating just above a 6 I was hesitant, the short description was terrible, and some of the reviews were "harsh". Now I know what an internet troll is. What a wonderful film about a story that absolutely needed to be told. I didn't get the beginning until the end, as I didn't research the story ahead of time. All the characters were solid, relatable and well acted. Knocked off one star because of some scenes that I am sure Frank wanted included but didn't add anything to the story. Just Wow, what a great/sad/uplifting/film. Best I've seen in years.
