      Carol G This movie surprised me. Unknown actors and a seemingly small budget film, yet it well acted, strong story (based on a true story) and pretty good dialogue/writing. I'm looking forward to seeing more work by the young lead, Andrew Steel as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Little slow but cool story and worth a watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/21 Full Review ebenezer v This is a very great, emotional and feel good film. The main and supporting actors are pretty amazing. Had a bit problem with the kids' performances and the first half act BUT as it goes on, the second and third act are brilliant. The score is like a time bomb, works at its perfect timing. Have a go and watch. Don't miss this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Scott W Great story and ending ! But wish was a better movie overall Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/21 Full Review Audience Member Honestly I liked it. However I have a couple of problems. One They said that Michael (the boy who's dying from Cancer) has a week to live. A) A child with that little time left wouldn't have that much energy. B) even if his hair grew back a little bit after stopping chemo I highly doubt he would have that much hair. c) if a child had a week to live and was dying from cnacer I would highly doubt he wouldn't be in a wheelchair. Plus he honestly didn't look that sick. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member It had a good foundation. It should have been a heartfelt, feel-good movie. However, too many plotlines, horrible acting (especially the child actor), and a god-awful story writing got in the way. It was a waste of time and if I hadn't been forced to watch it, I would have turned it off in the first 5 minutes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times "Wish Man..." is affecting, absorbing and inspiring enough to make you wish it was an all-around better film. Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter The resulting biographical drama squanders its compelling central storyline with a lengthy subplot involving crooked cops. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Sentimental, hopeful biopic has drinking, strong language. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Messy, meandering but heartfelt and righteous film avbout the birth of Make-A-Wish Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
