Wishin' and Hopin' (2014)
Great new Christmas Classic
25 November 2014 - 5 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
A surprisingly sweet and endearing film about Catholic School, Christmas and adolescence. The talented young cast all do a great job conveying the special horrors of coming of age and the film itself lands one great joke after another. I have not laughed out loud as many times during one movie in a long time. Particularly strong performances by MeatLoaf, Blanch Baker, Annabella Sciorra and the numerous under 18 actors are all a pleasure to watch. Very few films are able to reach this high level of humor while remaining well within the bounds of good clean material. I am a long time fan of the writer, Wally Lamb and cannot wait until his next novel is adapted for the screen.
