I had the displeasure of watching this movie last night, and I must say it was pretty good up until a certain point.I must say that the plot was good and the structure was interesting and kept me watching instead of just turning off the TV.The thing that irritated me about this movie was it's ending. In the end, the husband realizes everything that he has done wrong in his relationship, and the cheating wife gets off without punishment. The problem is, the husband was paranoid about his wife cheating. He was paranoid about him cheating, so she cheats. And apparently its his fault. This ending ruins the entire movie. The entire thing, it was based on this guy catching his cheating wife, and hopefully making her feel horrible so she'd kill herself. Thats the main reason I wanted to see the end, I wanted her to get her come-uppance. Instead she gets to go off happy with her boy-toy, and he gets stuck with a moronic Drew Barrymore, with an idiotic unfunny scene with fortune cookies.Does anyone else see this as a major plot flaw? Am I the only one who hates it when a movie is seen as a happy ending by those who made it, those who have cheated before, and hated by those who have been cheated on?I want to see a movie where the cheating bitch gets killed for cheating. Secret Window, thats the sort of ending that should have been on this crap-fest.

As a comedy, it isn't very funny. As a love story, it isn't very romantic. As a movie it isn't very entertaining.Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Beals give it a half-hearted shot but even they look bored 15 minutes into the film.The leading man (and I use the words loosely) has a total lack of talent and charisma. His name is James LeGros but you needn't take note of it, for with any luck at all you'll never hear it again.The only bright spot in the film are the few minutes alloted toJohn Stewart, but it is not enough to justify sitting through this incredible bore.Read a book, watch tv, go to bed early, go out to eat , do anything but sit through this mess.

This movie turned out to be better than I expected. The plot is interesting and original (if such thing is possible at all in such romantic genre), the dialogue has some great moments, the directing and camera-work are good enough as well. Although the actors are such stars, I think that this movie deserved even better performances than they gave. Nonetheless, Wishful Thinking is quite pleasant movie. I rank it close below Living In Oblivion and Sliding Doors.

with several stars, why did this sit on the miramax shelf for two years and then went straight to video? cause it sucks. even then, i was disappointed. the characters aren't interesting, the theme and structure have been done better in other movies. two good things about it, it's less than 90 minutes long, and jon stewart has some good funny lines in it. it's as bad, if not worse, than sliding doors. watch next stop wonderland, run lola run or chungking express instead.
