BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
lisafordeay Wish Upon A Star tells the story of a young girl(played by Danielle Harris) who is jealous of her sister(Katherine Heigl)who seems to be more popular and outgoing then she is.One night Harris wishes that she could be popular and the next day she swaps bodies with her sister Heigl. Now the two have to find a way to switch back before its too late. So will they reconcile by the end of it all?Overall if you love body swapping films then check out this film. Its very underrated and Katherine Heigl was very young at the time here. Just track it down and see what you think of it.
SnoopyStyle Alexia Wheaton (Katherine Heigl) is the popular hot girl in school and her sister Hayley (Danielle Harris) is a nerd. They are both in love with jock Kyle Harding. Alexia is the one actually dating him. Hayley is jealous and makes a wish on a shooting star to be Alexia. The next morning, the girls find that they have switched bodies. It's chaos and sibling rivalry. Shy neighbor Simon is confused by the new Haley.It is a little bit funny to note that Danielle Harris is actually older than Katherine Heigl. It's another switched body movie like those Disney kids classics. This one isn't breaking any new ground. The girls are fun and capable of playing both sides well. That's where it helps to have Harris be slightly older than Heigl.
mcberryman1 this movie wish upon a star is just like the movie freaky Friday where the mother and daughter exchange both body's and personalities in-order to learn how the other one feels in-order to get along with each other better in life but in the movie wish upon a star its the sisters that trade body's and each others personalities and skills and achievements and i love this movie so much that i wish they would bring it back on the Disney channel and or TBS,TNT,ABC family,ABC,THE FX CHANNEL,the cw/formally UPN AND ON CMT!!! so on the scale of 1 to 10 i would give it a 10 and two thumbs up!!! and i hope that they make a sequel and/or a prequel too?
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.
