About This Movie

So, 'Wishful Thinking' is one of those quirky comedies that spins off into unexpected territory. It’s got this light, whimsical vibe, and the pacing feels just right for a rom-com. Lola's journey after the breakup is relatable, but what really sets it apart is the twist of her spell gone awry, leading to her mother falling for the guy she conjured up. There's a nice blend of practical effects that give it a charming touch, and the performances are solid, especially in the way they capture the awkward humor of the situation. It’s that wry, playful tone that keeps you engaged, even if it sometimes meanders.
