Console best movie i've ever seen.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
jwtrox08706 The first time I saw this was on the Disney Channel when I was laying on the couch, got sick at school so I had to leave, and this movie came on...it was the most random thing...but I decided to sit and watch it, since everyone else was also being pulled in by it. This was where I first recognized Danielle Harris as an adorable and talented actress...I fell in love with Hayley...I say to myself, "I'd ask her out. Who cares about the dirt under her fingernails or her gum chewing." I also first recognized the talent of Katherine Heigl in this film. I was certainly impressed with her. I loved how the filmmakers accentuate the differences between the two girls by using the difference in height, music interest, academic performance, and other obvious things. The cast overall did a wonderful job...there were some cheesy moments, but that's pretty much a given, aside from that...good story, wonderful performances (I liked the parents, as well; I even asked my parents if they'd try the "hands off" method, lol), and some good music (which I can't find, why can't I find this music?). This film is perfect for the family to sit down, watch and enjoy (and I rarely have good things to say about family-friendly films). 9.2 out of 10.
[email protected] Wish Upon a Star (1996) Katherine Heigl, Danielle Harris, Don Jeffcoat, Scott Wilkinson, Mary Parker Williams, D: Blair Treu. Two backbiting sisters and complete opposites-one the popular and glamorous ditz, the other an ugly duckling wiz-wish under a shooting star to change places, but looks like the switch will take longer to revert back. This cable movie has no surprises and just pales in comparison with its maker, FREAKY FRIDAY, but there's still some fun riding on it. Running Time: 90 minutes and rated PG for some language and mild sensuality. **
don-robbo I saw this movie a couple of years ago on the Disney Channel, It's a nice feel good flick, You'd expect it to be really cheesy, but it's very original, Both of the actresses are very talented and made the movie worth watching, I'd give it 7/10.
LanderRei My friends call me Crazy. Im starting to think Im crazy. But...I actually like this movie.About 90% of my movie collection is horror movies, yet somehow this movie made it into my collection ( on a blank tape...but its still there) But enough rambling.Sure, this may be on Disney, but that doesnt mean its not good. People should just give it a chance. I in fact only watched it because Ive got some silly crush on Danielle Harris. But thats not the point! The movie has great acting, its funny and it has a moral to the story. But im no good at writing reviews. My point is: If a hardcore horror fan like me can like this movie, just about anybody can. Just give it a chance.
