So, 'Wishful Thinking' is kind of a curious little piece from 1992 that takes a cheeky spin on the Aladdin mythos. The atmosphere is definitely playful, with a lighthearted approach to its fantasy elements, but there’s a heavy dose of adult themes woven throughout. The pacing leans into a more episodic feel as Jon Dough's wishes lead him down a rabbit hole of erotic encounters, all spurred on by the genie, played by Heather Hart. Her performance adds a certain charm, navigating the mix of fantasy and seduction with a laid-back vibe that feels unique for the era. It's not just about the titillation; there's a curious exploration of desire and connection that lingers beneath the surface.
This film is somewhat of a rarity in the collector’s market, especially in its original VHS format. Copies tend to surface sporadically, but they often come with wear typical of adult films of the time. Interest seems to fluctuate, with collectors drawn to its unique blend of fantasy and adult themes, making it a curious item for those looking to explore the genre's boundaries.
