Movie Reviews of Wish upon a Star

Movie Review: Great Family Movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

A fun family movie!

The performaces are fun, and these leading actresses are really good at their jobs.

The story is simple and fun, and revolves around sibling rivality and high school experiences. Personally, I find this to be a very nice family movie to watch. It's got a nice story line, good writing, great acting, nice music and clothing style, and lot of laughs.

If you want to just sit and watch a nice high school disney movie this is the movie for you. don't expect an Oscar, you will be disappointed, but it's defiantly not a bad movie at all. This movie use to be shown on Disney Channel a lot back in the days, but now it's been taken out completely for a while now. It's safe to buy it, it's not expensive at all and it's worth the few dollars that it's going for.

The DVD and cover looks very girly and you might think it's just another high school girly movie, but I think it has much more than that. Personally I'm a guy and I enjoyed this movie. Beautiful young leading ladies, and lots of laughs to keep me entertained. The parents are very funny, yet clueless as well but their fun to watch.

I highly recommend these good family value movies, their defiantly worth watching and they teach you how to live your life to the fullest, appose to stay in the shadows and wish you were someone else.

Good movie, good price, good acting.

Movie Review: I love, love, LOVE this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

So as you can tell, I'm very fond of this movie. Even now, at 19, its still one of my favorites. I'm not even sure what made me watch this movie in the first place (I love Katherine Heigl, but back in the day she wasn't a household name yet so that had no signifigance whatsoever) I just remember seeing it at the movie store one day, and I randomly decided to watch it. And I loved it so much that I rented it numerous times, until one day the manager of the store decided to just give it to me because I liked it so much, and I was the only one who ever really rented it. Lol.

The movie is about two sisters (alexia and hayley), who are complete opposites. One is pretty and popular (alexia, played by katherine heigl), dating the hot boy at school, while the other one (hayley, played by danielle harris) is kind of geeky, and the type of who gets overlooked for her more appealing sister. one night Hayley, who is envious of her sister, wishes on a star that she could be Alexia, and afterwards the two sisters swap places, and learn what its like to live in eachothers shoes. Like Freaky Friday, but even better.

Yes, this movie is kinda cheesy, but in a good way. And Katherine Heigl shines, as always!

Movie Review: A Classic...
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie.
I ordered it from Netflix, thinking it would be one of those silly 90's movies with stupid endings.
But it was not.
It is now on my top ten favorite movies list.
Both Danielle Harris and Katherine Heigl are wonderful in this movie.
It's about 2 sisters (Hayley and Alexia Wheaton) who basically have nothing in common.
Hayley (the sporty, short, 'grungy' one) wishes on a shooting star that she was her sister.
And it happens! They switch bodies, just like in Freaky Friday! Except this movie is SO much better than
Freaky Friday. It kind of reminds me of 'Model Behavior' and how Hayley has a crush on Kyle reminds of
'All-American Girl' by Meg Cabot. Go Princess Diaries!
The part where Hayley (who is actually Alexia) gets up on the table and starts dancing is hilarious.
It's so funny how the whole cafeteria is moving along with her!
I think there should have been more parts with Caitlin in it but still, this is a great movie!
Definitely buy it or rent it.
I'm buying it next week and eating nachos while i watch it for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.
PS. The parents were super funny.
And i loved the Mitter Monster.

Movie Review: beutiful movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I was not a big fan of Disney Channel, I was more into Cartoon network, because you know I was in the 7th grade. During that same year in a party, there was a kids room for us to watch movies and all that, and they turn it on the Disney Channel and Wish Upon A Star was on, at first I thought it was another stupid "oh he loves me, or not" kind of movie. I saw Katherine Heigl for the first time and I fell in love. So I kept watching the movie just to see Heigl, but the actress was not the only thing that kept me watching this movie, the story of this movie, was so cool. And I had only started to watch this movie half way through, so the next day when I was at home the movie came on again, and I watch it from the beginning and it's a very cool movie. With every day teen issues, and ways to see how others live. It made me think what my life would have been if I had to spend at least one day on my sister's body. Its so scary! I mean you never know what they would do in your body. it's a very good movie, with great acting, beautiful story, good sets, and all of the above that makes this movie a good movie. I wonder why it didn't hit the big screen, this is a movie that should have been in the big screen.

Movie Review: This movie is even better than I remembered...
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember when this movie first aired on Disney Channel. I loved the old made for TV Disney movies that they used to air (unlike today's Cheetah Girls and High School Musical), so I was extremely excited that they offer this on DVD instead of having to wait for it to re-air on Disney!

Although at times, Katharine Heigl's acting is a bit annoying (she has come a long way!) I love both characters so much. I have a sister, and it reminds me a lot of our relationship. I also just graduated with a psychology degree, so watching the parents is humorous. I love the fact that this is a teen movie, but it's much cleaner and wholesome than most of the other ones out there today.

I'm so glad that this movie didn't let me down. I hadn't watched it in over 5 years, so I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be quite as good as I remembered...
but don't worry. It was even better than I remembered.

I definitely recommend it.
