whpratt1 Enjoy most of Drew Barrymore's films and in this picture she takes a backseat in the very beginning of the film and you begin to wonder if she will appear. Drew plays (Lena) a girl who works at a movie theater and wears wild, way out clothes, but is pretty darn smart and crafty; especially when it comes to a man she wants and desires for a soul mate! Jennifer Beals, (Elizabeth),"Break a Leg",'05 shares her pad with a guy she thinks she loves and things start to change rather quickly. This guy is a movie projectionist (Years ago) who also invented a small floss device for the teeth which tastes like ginger and the people in Japan are nuts about this item. Lots of funny situations and great acting on the part of Jennifer Beals and Drew Barrymore.

scabpicker ...because this movie will make you barf until you bleed. I caught maybe the last half hour of it on TV last night and cannot imagine how broke poor Jon Stewart must have been to accept a role in this movie- my heart goes out to him. And how did they manage to make someone as hot as Jennifer Beals look like a dumpy bag lady? I don't know what the actual plot line was supposed to be, something about affairs and other melodrama I don't care for when so poorly executed. I've seen high school a/v nerds exhibit better judgment over use of visual effects. At one point things turn black and white and deep meaning is supposed to be exhibited through lots of slo-mo. Pass on this one. You definitely have better things to be doing.

George Nedelchev This movie turned out to be better than I expected. The plot is interesting and original (if such thing is possible at all in such romantic genre), the dialogue has some great moments, the directing and camera-work are good enough as well. Although the actors are such stars, I think that this movie deserved even better performances than they gave. Nonetheless, Wishful Thinking is quite pleasant movie. I rank it close below Living In Oblivion and Sliding Doors.

CiciB Good God all mighty someone please save me from this movie. I saw the preview and it looked reasonably comedic. As it turned out those few moments were the only ones that were funny AT ALL! This movie depicts a group of struggling twenty-somethings in their quest to find/understand love. My oh my what an original theme. It relieves the same events over and over, each time a different character is the 'narrator'. I couldn't stand this movie long enough to finish it so please don't ask me how it ends. I'm giving it two enthusiastic thumbs down.
