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.

This movie is a nice, well written, well played movie that addresses a few of the current issues many women encounter in the U.S. . To have a successful career but not to love it, to have a list of "must be " for your boy friend but not fell the "spark", because love and groceries are not the same thing... I found the acting of good quality,as well as the script. Of course it s not citizen Kane (actually it's a relief to me for I hate this overrated movie) but it s much better than some of the romantic comedies which put Jennifer Looez as a cleaning lady in a millionaire hotel, if you see what I mean.

Make a cup of tea, get your cat on your lap, turn off your phone, and enjoy an hour of fun and happy ending where you will, if you listen carefully,,learn a few useful hints about life !

This movie is trash. If I owned the DVD, I would apologize to the person that gave it to me, and I would toss the DVD in the trash. It's disgustingly horrid. The acting is trash. The writing is trash. The cinematography is trash. The character development is trash. The trashy music is trashily arranged, and put in trashy places of a trashy story. It's simply trash. This movie isn't just formula, it takes the formula, spits on it (not out of disrespect, it does this because it believes it will make the formula better) rubs it into dirt, and tosses it into a blender, and then it puts it's own arm in the blender for a bloody terrible taste. I cringed throughout the film, and there were no laughable or tasteful moments. The film isn't emotional, it's just simply DISGUSTING. The characters are as stupid as the person who wrote the script. Don't watch it. Sometimes critics watch bad movies to criticize them, this is one I wouldn't watch even to criticize.

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. 😊)

For what appears to be a faith based movie, I found some things to be odd.

Bible verses are quoted to Sarah by her sister and Sarah seems to accept them. But nothing in her behavior appears to agree with them. Not that she is immoral or bad in any way. It just seems pointless to have them.

If there is a lesson to the story it seems to be along the lines of not getting hung up on lists of rules or expectations but follow your heart. This isn't necessarily a bad lesson, but the story takes this to extremes. The way the movie plays it, the protagonist goes totally by what she feels and seems to ignore any common sense or wisdom.

It's a sweet romantic story in the sense of what the world expects. It's enjoyable. I just don't see what it has to do with what I'd hope for from a truly faith based movie.

There's not many lol moments. The acting is fair to poor with David Sutcliffe being at the top end of that and the other two main characters a little less.

It's clean in terms of no sex (not even implied) or violence, but there is a scene where Sarah appears drunk.
