Make a Wish

About This Movie

So, 'Make a Wish' is an interesting watch. It’s this dark comedy that plays around with some pretty twisted themes. The premise? A guy finds out that his fiancée has actually kidnapped his high school bully for his 30th birthday, which, you know, sets up this really uncomfortable but oddly humorous vibe. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but it leans into the absurdity of the situation without losing its edge. It's got some practical effects that add to that gritty feel of the story, and the performances are surprisingly decent—especially from the lead, who manages to balance the comedic and darker moments well. Not your typical birthday party film, that’s for sure.
