The Wish List

I found this to be a colorful lighthearted flick with well rounded characters & acting. It's a favorite of mine & I look for it every holiday season over the years.

..... The cosy setting of the. Coffee house is always a crowd pleaser; the main character being a happy go lucky barrista is endearing & relatable.

... The only thing is the title always escapes me & I have to work abit to find it on the internet. I can't explain why this show gets under my skin every t time I see

..... This sweet movie just leaves me toasty happy every time I see it. I only with it ran more often on the networks. It.

The story here is cute, light and easily watchable, which was exactly what I was looking for when I put it on. David Sutcliffe is charming and Jennifer Esposito does a great job with her role as well. Sure it's also a bit silly at times, predictable and mindless but still totally enjoyable and I'll admit brought a smile to my face.

The story follows Esposito as an HR executive and perfectionist who makes a (comprehensive) list of the qualities she's looking for in a mate and soon hooks up with the seemingly ideal guy (good looking, child, animal loving Doctor) in the meantime she also finds herself drawn to the kooky barista from her local coffee shop who encourages her to loosen up.

On the downside this was draggy in parts due to the fact that there isn't much story to speak of and they fill it up with drawn out barista competitions & 70's dance offs. I also got tired of all the split screen shots, sometimes up to 4 at a time, which I don't usually even notice but they were used so much here it started to drive me crazy.

Wish List has been put on by Faith & Family and Hallmark entertainment so there are a couple of bible verses randomly thrown in which did feel out of tune with the movie. Guess there was a faith quota? 12/20/15

David Sutcliffe great as usual needs to lose facial hair,Jennifer Esposito boring a real type a Dr so boring streaming services All have same story lines everyone perfect no average people all college graduates big fancy houses fancy neighborhoods not real.

Another example of a good cast and a terrible script. I really like Jennifer Esposito, and I'd watch Diane Venora read the phone book, but this tried my patience. Once again we have the stereotypical woman with a Type A personality who "needs to be taken down a few notches". Of course, she falls in love with a guy who himself is controlling, defensive, rude, and downright mean. Oh, and has stalker tendencies. Honestly, she's better off alone. (One caveat: As a tall woman married to a shorter man, I did appreciate the wedding scene. 😊)

Another LA-based yawn fest. This sickeningly Southern Californian story suffers from terrible writing and mediocre acting. I lasted about a half hour before I said 'adios'.
