| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThere's nothing to distinguish writer-director Adam Park's otherwise routine story or execution. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanToo often wanders into unnecessary silliness, and the ending leaves something to be desired. |
| User ReviewShahid Hits so good and entertaining...yeah surprisingly good...:) |
| User ReviewShishira Knice movies initially thought Drew was a side character . . . those triangle in a triangle stories |
| User ReviewUzair AI would probably give it two stars if it wasn't for Drew Barrymore & John Stewart. Off-beat. Without the suspense of learning what had happened over the film's 3 perspectives, the story itself wasn't very riveting. Not great, but not terrible. (11-5-10) |
| User ReviewGareth MSurprisingly entertaining. manages to tell the story from the perspective of each main charcter very nicely building into the finale. |
| User ReviewAndy HNot one of the best. Not one of the worst. Just a nice evenings entertainment. |
| User ReviewWalter SWishful Thinking is a disappointing film. It is about a story told from three angles. Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Beals give terrible performances. The script is badly written and confusing. Adam Park did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. |
| User Reviewcli oThis was a mess. But Drew Barrymore looked cute in it. |
