Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Byrdz If you like seemingly bottomless plot holes and unexplained characters and occurrences and merciless twanging of the sentimental heartstrings, "Three Wishes" is surely for you. From start to finish it has more questions than it has answers and it suddenly and rather desperately runs like mad to the finish line trying to tie things up in a neat little bow but fails miserably.Patrick Swayze is once again a ghost (unless of course he is an angel, this is NOT made at all clear). The neighbor kids all inexplicably dislike and bully the older brother. The younger brother is a scared and weird little boy with no reasons given for his behavior. There is a totally meaningless opening sequence with the rest of the film being a flashback. Mom is attractive. Her wanna-be beau is a bit of a creep. The drifter is first verbally abused (for no reason) by the local cop and then released from the hospital to sleep on a park bench. It's ALL a mystery. Was the drifter a professional baseball player ? Is he now an exhibitionist ? Do we care ? Will mom fall for the creep ? Will mom fall for the drifter ? Again, do we care ? What's with the little brother and the dreams, visions, nightmares ? Do we care ? Answer to all three is a resounding NO !No complaints about the acting as it is done as well as can be expected in this manipulative, confusing mess. Most appealing character is the dog ! A Real cutie !

FourInTheFamily This movie was billed as "fun for the whole family" -- NOT. It was awful. The setup/beginning of the movie has a lot of great possibilities. But it just gets stranger and stranger as the time goes on.A "Family friendly" movie DOES NOT include sunbathing in the nude, implied relations between mom and a drifter, cancer/deadly disease for the little brother, flying around in the sky, and losing your business and home as an adult. Depressing and weird.My 6 and 8 year old may not have picked up on some of the innuendos but from age 72 to age 6 we all hated it.

famelovingboy68 I saw this for rent last summer in the video store, I used to own it when it was brand new, and I was excepting a really old-fashioned era movie. I asked my mom about it, she said it was such a very, very uplifting, great movie. I got a good idea, it could be a modern day twist on Aladdin, set in LA, and Mazzello could be an orphan, streetrat in the big city. Thought would so rock. Let's get to the movie, Jeanne Holman (Mastrantonio) is struggling to raise her two sons, Tom (Mazzello), about 11, and Gunny about 5. Gunny has cancer, and Tom sucks at baseball, and is looking for a father figure, since his father is presumed to of died in the Korean war, and Swayze's good as the vaggrant, who turns out to be a drifter, who accompanies a genie that's actually a dog, Tom's friends think he's scary and peculiar, but turns out to be kind, eccentric, and even tells stories, that tell us about his dreamy, fantasy life, I get frustrated when I can't play baseball, and lose my temper sort of easy, because I've tried for so long, and I can relate to this, it's helpful if you're struggling at something. Tom is NOT a normal kid in my opinion, despite what reviews said say he's sensitive, and serious and is an outcast looking for a family. Just like the Real Joe with emotional challenges.

mlaine-2 Although I must admit I cried several times towards the ending of this movie (probably a highly emotional day for me), I really thought there were a lot of missing pieces in it. The most predominate I suppose is the almost total absence of the plot containing "Gunny" youngest son after we learn he has cancer. The mother continues to date and socialize, even bed a drifter. The audience finds themselves wondering what happened to the young child and filling in blanks themselves. (all the while the child is day dreaming in his bedroom? No wonder he talks to the dog since everyone else has forgotten him...
