At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It got off what (to me) seemed like an awkward start. Maybe "Sweet 16", where you're given a car, get your driver's license, and a big party is just a girl thing. I remember seeing my 16th birthday as the end of childhood. Time to get ready for adulthood now.And at first this movie was exactly like a fairy tale; where the poor, neglected, downtrodden girl finally blossoms into a beautiful princess who gets everything she's ever wanted through no effort of her own and is adored by everyone.I had to pause the movie several times because I kept thinking "This girl has her own room, a loving family with a nice house, friends. So why does she keep feeling sorry for herself and keep wishing her life would just be magically perfect?Then they turn the tables and grant her wishes. She gets the life she's always wanted, but it doesn't turn out the way she thought. By the end she realizes she has a lot of growing up to do, and a lot to be thankful for.

Funnily enough i enjoyed this movie quite a lot. a lot of people say its a typical Disney film. heres a fun fact. Disney didn't make it. Marvista Entertainment did, Disney just paid for them to run it on Disney (Most likely cause of there main actress)Now when you step into a movie like this, you can be all i will see if this movie is good for ME and MY AGE! Because its not aimed at your age sometimes. This is a tween/teen/kids film. If your a adult, you probs wont like it much, if your a teen whos into grown up movies. You wont. You have to think of this as what it is to enjoy it before you begin to judge it.I went into it fully prepared. aware it was a children's film intended for kids. and i loved it! The main actress Debby Ryan showed much potential. She had some fun scenes. and some sad scenes, which showed she could vary her person. Always a good thing to have.The moral of the story and the overall story is one we may have heard before. "Be grateful what you got," " a girl wants to be older then regreats it" Sure we can say we've seen it all before. But you haven't. There was some supprising twists of originality in this film i just loved!Overall itsa really good film for the family, and for sleepovers for girlies. :)

I saw 16 wishes without any expectations. It was just a typical day for me to watch random movies that were on. I started watching and on the beginning, it was kinda cheesy. The main girl basically wants what all the average teenage girls do - Privacy,popularity,being independent. etc. This movie was not very creative. The story line is just too familiar. I can't even mention how many more movies have the similar plot- almost exact actually. The scenarios always goes like this- The character wants something more and or something to change in their life. They get a chance to make a wish whether from a fairy or genie etc. It goes all perfect then something goes terribly wrong.. Then they realize they want their old life back. In the end, they basically appreciate everything they originally had. This movie was funny and enjoyable though. The acting was good except for the main girl's parents. I give this movie 6 stars for some really good acting and a funny plot.This is a pretty good film, but not if you're in a mood for something unpredictable and realistic.

With an all north of the border cast, The Suite Life On Deck's Debby Ryan gets to star in a Disney Studio production of 16 Wishes. The number of course is to correspond with the sweet 16 she has become. Though the sweet sixteen experience is a female one, I think even the male of the species could come up with sixteen things that could be considered pretty frivolous that one might have wished for at sixteen. Somethings you wouldn't wish for at even 26, let alone 66.Which is the lesson Ryan learns. She's planned out her sixteenth birthday party and even though the day starts out horribly when wasps are discovered to be making a nest in the unused attic of her home, she gets those 16 candles from a 'magical person' played by Anna Mae Routledge. Sure enough as is the usual way of things in film and life, granting those wishes that she's laid out for herself doesn't make her a happier camper.16 Wishes is a charming fantasy from that fantasy factory the Magic Kingdom. Debby Ryan is a sweet and talented young lady and she really does hold the film together. Nothing spectacular, but a nice family comedy and it does once again reinforce the old adage about being careful what you wish for.
