Wish Upon a Star

Plot synopsis:
Wish Upon a Star is about two high-school-age sisters with extremely different personalities, who magically exchange bodies with each other for a while, and come to realize what an incredibly bad idea it is to be anyone other than oneself.Alexia (Katherine Heigl) is older and taller. She is socially popular, but she is also dishonest, vain, extravagant, lazy, an "airhead", and a bad student. She hangs out with a clique of obnoxious, cruel, arrogant, and snobbish friends -- Kazumi (Jacque Gray), Talley (Kari White), and Sabrina (January Sorensen). Her breakfast table reading is Self Magazine. She has a boyfriend Kyle (Donnie Jeffcoat) who is actually a decent guy.Hayley (Danielle Harris), the younger one, is a geek and a good student, interested in science and math. She has for some time been working on a science fair project, a lantern that uses discarded fruit as its energy source. She and her friend Caitlin (Ivey Lloyd) are both very shy. She has no boyfriend, and secretly covets Alexia's boyfriend Kyle. Her breakfast table reading is Scientific American. But she and Caitlin are not blameless -- They like to read Alexia's diary, and try on her expensive and stylish clothes, after school when Alexia is out with Kyle.Their father Ben (Scott Wilkinson) and mother Nan (Mary Parker Williams) are both practicing clinical psychologists. In spite of the wisdom that this ought to have conferred, they are both comically and utterly clueless and oblivious about their daughters' behavior. They decide early on that taking a "hands off" attitude is the way to deal with the girls' sibling rivalry and Alexia's provocative clothing. If there are no rules, misbehavior will be impossible. Because of this detachment, they never figure out what is going on when the girls switch personalities. Their breakfast table reading is things like Psychology Today or Nature Conservancy.One night, while Hayley is out on the porch stargazing with a telescope for her astronomy homework, she glances down at Alexia and Kyle in the hot tub. A meteor (shooting star) crosses the sky. Hayley makes a wish to be Alexia.The next morning, they wake up in each other's bodies and each other's bedrooms. They stumble around a bit in their unfamiliar rooms, and go into their bathrooms. Alexia, now in Hayley's body, notices it first. She sees herself in the mirror and screams. Hayley, now in Alexia's body, comes in. They both scream at each other. When they are able to talk, Hayley-in-Alexia's-body says:
"Man, oh, man, it worked!"
"What worked? You did this?"
"I made a wish when I saw a shooting star. I didn't think it would work."
She brings her hands up to feel her now-larger breasts. (It's completely decent; they are both wearing night clothes. But the Disney broadcast cut out a couple of seconds here.) Alexia-in-Hayley's-body slaps the hands away. She demands that Hayley switch back, which Hayley can't do (it's daytime) and wouldn't do in any case. Alexia leaves the room. Hayley, now in Alexia's body, looks at herself in the mirror. She is delighted. Alexia has no choice but to go to school as Hayley. Hayley has an astronomy test, which Alexia can't possibly take because she is such a bad student. They decide that Alexia-in-Hayley's-body will faint and be taken home, and make up the test the next day after they have presumably switched back.Hayley nearly trips and falls while coming downstairs; she isn't accustomed to her taller body. They drive to school as usual, except that Hayley doesn't know how to drive, so Alexia has to. When they arrive, the principal Ms. Mittermiller (Lois Chiles) sees what appears to be Hayley in the driver's seat, and chews them out for this. During the astronomy test, Alexia-in-Hayley's-body faints, as planned, and is taken home by her mother.At lunch, Hayley-in-Alexia's-body invites Caitlin (her actual friend) to join her and her clique for lunch. Caitlin is astonished at being let into this clique. The other people don't see anything wrong, except for the strange invitation to invite Caitlin. It then comes out that Alexia had split up with Kyle the previous night in the hot tub. These people have an arcane set of rules, one of which is that one is not allowed to go out with any one boy for more than three months, and the clock was up last night. She was supposed to call Kyle a "sick puppy" and send him on his way. Hayley-in-Alexia's-body is horrified. She runs over to where Kyle is. Kyle is hostile. She says "Whatever I said last night I didn't mean. I wasn't being myself." She wants to go for a walk with him after school. He says "I'm not interested in going with someone who calls me a sick puppy." She finally persuades him to get together after his basketball practice, and they can talk, and she can give him a ride home.Meanwhile, back home, Alexia is eating ice cream and watching music videos. Their new neighbor Simon (Matt Barker) comes over to give her some cookies. He has noticed Hayley and likes her. But this is actually Alexia, and she doesn't know who he is. He is puzzled by this.The time has come for Hayley-in-Alexia's-body to give Kyle a ride home. She has an extremely hard time driving; she never learned. After she goes up on the curb and nearly has some accidents, Kyle takes over the driving. They arrive at Kyle's house. She tells him that he is the most gorgeous guy she's ever met. He tells her that he really likes her, and thinks that she is beautiful, especially now that she isn't wearing so much makeup. She wants him to say that he loves her. He doesn't want to do that, but he says that he really really likes her, and wants them to be together. They do a lot of kissing, over Mozart's sensuous Elvira Madigan Concerto on the car radio (Hayley likes classical, Alexia likes rock.) This is a first for her; she has gotten her wish.When she gets home, Alexia-in-Hayley's-body is already eating dinner. Hayley sits down, and Alexia notices that she has a hickey on her neck from the kissing. She drags Hayley into the kitchen.
"That's a hickey, you tramp! Who did this?"
"Kyle. We were kissing."
"I broke up with Kyle last night."
"Well, you got back together with him this afternoon."
Alexia drags Hayley into the backyard and yells at her.
"You mean to tell me that I'm stuck in this measly little body for another day, while you just parade around, ruining my reputation?"
"Looks that way, doesn't it?"
"That's it. This is war!"The next morning, the war begins. Alexia-in-Hayley's-body has hung a threatening note over Hayley's bed. When Hayley comes downstairs, she sees that Alexia is wearing an extremely provocative dominatrix outfit. Their parents make no attempt to stop this. Hayley goes back upstairs and dresses as a complete slob. She goes out to drive to school, without taking Alexia. Simon asks for a ride, and she gives it to him. Her driving skills are improving very slowly.Meanwhile, Alexia-in-Hayley's-body goes to school with a boombox and a tape of seductive music. At various times each of them writes an insulting graffito about the other on the restroom wall: "Hayley/Alexia Wheaton is a wench." The photographs of the candidates for Queen of the upcoming Winter Festival are taken that day. Alexia is in the running, and she (that is, Hayley) deliberately "bombs" the picture.It's time for Hayley to make up the astronomy test. It's really Alexia, and she is willfully rude and uncooperative, to the disgust of the teacher, Mr. Frauenfleder (Dane Stevens).At lunch, Alexia-in-Hayley's-body gets up on a table, takes off her jacket to reveal the dominatrix outfit, puts on the boombox, and performs an incredibly raunchy and risque song and dance. (This was almost completely censored in the Disney version.) Caitlin is horrified to see her friend acting this way. To retaliate, Hayley-in-Alexia's-body grabs Kyle, brings him right in front of her sister, and starts violently kissing him, saying "Oh Kyle, you're such a good kisser. Give me another hickey, baby." Ms. Mittermiller arrives and puts a stop to everything. She takes the girls into her office. They are totally unrepentant and disrespectful. She tells "Hayley" that this is grounds for disqualification from the science fair, threatens "Alexia" with suspension, and says that she will meet with their parents the next day. She then takes them both into the ladies room and tells them to clean up the graffiti. After Ms. Mittermiller leaves, Hayley-in-Alexia's-body says:
"I can't believe you would do that. I've been working a year on that [science fair] project."
"If I could have, I would have had you expelled too. I mean at first you come home with a hickey on your neck. Next you're practically mauling my boyfriend in the cafeteria. What next, Hayley? Are you going to lose my virginity too?"
"You--You're a virgin?"
"Yes, I'm a virgin!!! I have morals, Hayley! You obviously don't know very much about me."
"Wow. I mean, Caitlin and I were sure that you and Kyle were---Well, I didn't do anything like that, except kiss. A lot."
"You didn't?"
"I can't believe you actually thought I would do that."
"What am I supposed to think?"
"I'm sorry, Alex. I'm really sorry."
They both see that what they have been doing is wrong. They reach an understanding that they will help and support each other, and will switch back as soon as possible.That night, they plan to see a shooting star and reverse the wish. Before doing that, while lying on a blanket in the backyard, they talk. Alexia-in-Hayley's-body assures Hayley that she, Hayley, is good-looking and can get a boyfriend; she just needs social confidence. She should approach Simon. They agree to put off the switch one more day, so that Hayley can gain more social confidence in Alexia's body, and Hayley can use her intellect to show Alexia's teachers that she is not an airhead.The next day, the threatened conference between the school principal and the girls' parents takes place. Ms. Mittermiller tells them in no uncertain terms how shocking the girls' behavior had been in the cafeteria. The parents explain their "hands off" theory of upbringing, that they are allowing the girls to do anything they want, and that they consider this a positive innovation in parenting. Ms. Mittermiller is left speechless. After the parents leave, she mutters to herself "Those poor girls."In a math class that both sisters are taking, the teacher Mr. Watson (Mark Hofeling) asks for a volunteer to work out a practice problem for an upcoming test. Hayley-in-Alexia's-body volunteers. Mr. Watson is initially skeptical, because Alexia is such a bad student. He finally lets her come to the whiteboard and do the problem, which she (Hayley) does superbly.Hayley-in-Alexia's-body goes to hang out at Kyle's basketball team practice. Kyle is very happy; he will be starting on the team for the next day's game, and then Alexia will be crowned Queen of the Winter Festival, and they will dance the night away. He tells her that he loves her. Hayley is in an impossible position. She says "You shouldn't have said that to me. I've got to go home. The next time you say it, you know, the 'L' word, if you decide you still feel that way, pretend like it's the first time." She runs off, leaving Kyle bewildered and heartbroken. She goes out to the parking lot, where Simon asks her for a ride home. He gives her a box of chocolates, and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek. They drive off. Kyle sees the whole thing from behind the door.While they are driving--Hayley's driving skill has significantly improved by now--Simon apologizes for the kiss, and tells Hayley-in-Alexia's-body that he really likes her. Not for her looks, but for her personality. He says that he had had a crush on Hayley at first, but that he and "Alexia" are personally compatible. "Wait. You're talking about Hayley? You think Hayley's attractive?" Simon tells her "It's what's inside that really matters." She is absolutely delighted. Simon likes Hayley, body and soul, for who she really is. She says "Look, Simon. I think you need to get to know Hayley better. We're sisters. We're a lot more alike than you think."That night, the weather is clear, and they plan to stay up and do some star-gazing. But they both fall asleep in the living room, and their parents find them and put them in their beds. But in the middle of the night Hayley-in-Alexia's-body wakes up, realizes what she has to do, goes out onto the balcony to watch. She sees a shooting star and makes a wish to be Hayley again.Unfortunately, the next morning, nothing has changed. Hayley realizes that the change is apparently irreversible. She is ruined. She will spend the rest of her life as someone other than who she is. She doesn't tell Alexia what happened. Adding to her grief, today is an important day for both of them. Her sister will be making the presentation, for the science fair committee, of the project that she had worked on. And the admissions committee of Felder College, that Alexia wants to get into, will be interviewing her, as Alexia. That evening will be the big basketball game and the Winter Festival. At lunch, Hayley gives Alexia some last-minute coaching on how to explain the workings of the distillation process in the lantern. Then they see some flyers that are being distributed, inviting the whole school to a party at Caitlin's house. They are sure that Caitlin would never have done that. It was perpetrated by Kazumi, Talley, and Sabrina. Caitlin had thought they were her new friends, and had simply invited the three of them over for dinner. Alexia and Hayley both go to confront them. Caitlin is in tears. Alexia-in-Hayley's-body takes Caitlin away, while Hayley chews the the three of them out, and demands that they apologize to Catlin. They refuse to do so. Hayley-in-Alexia's-body says that, if they exploit gentle people like Caitlin that way, they are not worthy of being her friends any more. She leaves. She then has one more difficult encounter with Kyle, reminding her of how totally she has messed up her life.Alexia gets through the science fair presentation successfully, and Hayley gets through the college interview successfully. The home team wins the basketball game.Before the Winter Festival itself, Alexia-in-Hayley's-body goes searching for Hayley, and finds her, brooding by herself, in the grandstand of the swimming pool. Alexia shows off the new dress she has bought. She of course got it for Hayley herself, for after they have switched back. Hayley asks:
"Do you like it?"
"Of course."
"Could you live your life like that?"
"Sure, but that's irrelevant. We're going to switch back."
Then Hayley tearfully explains that the change is irreversible. They can't switch back. She tells Alexia that she had gone out on the balcony the previous night, seen a shooting star, and made a wish. And nothing happened. Alexia then explains that, back when she was in the hot tub with Kyle, she had seen the same shooting star, and made a wish to be Hayley. "Why would you wish that?" "There I was, this C-minus student, about to break up with my boyfriend over some self-imposed rule. I felt totally bored with myself, and my friends, and everything. I realized that I didn't have much of a shot at getting into college. And I look up on the balcony and I see my brainy, adventurous little sister, with all these interests, like conserving energy. And I knew you would never make the same mistakes I made." They come to the realization that the wish only works when both people make it. They run out to the athletic field for some star-gazing. The heavens oblige them, they make the wish, and they switch back.They go back inside, where the Winter Festival is going on. Alexia's three friends come by, and tell her that they have decided to abolish all the funny rules, except for number 9, the one that says they will be friends forever. She then finds Kyle, and says "Just give me one more chance, please?" "What about that other guy I saw you with?" He is referring to seeing Simon kissing her, but she knows nothing about this; she wasn't there. She says "There's only one guy for me. I love you." "I love you too, Aly." Alexia almost misses the announcement that she has won the vote to Festival Queen, because she and Kyle are kissing.Then Hayley finds Simon, and says "Look, Simon. I know you haven't gotten the best impression of me so far. So let's start over." Simon replies "Alex did say I should get to know you better." The two sisters are finally in the right bodies dancing with the right boyfriends.

Review:
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.
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).
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.
The movie has great acting, its funny and it has a moral to the story.
It is the story of two sisters who are worlds apart, who after a wish switch places.
(Ala Freaky Friday, Vice-Versa) This features Katherine Heigl(Roswell) and Danielle Harris(Urban Legend) as the sisters who exhibit and on screen chemistry that has been absent in today's cinema.
As the story progresses the sisters wage an all out war against each other and spend the rest of the movie trying to patch up the damage.
Their adventures are cliched at points, yet Heigl and Harris carry it and make a very engrossing and funny film.
This is one of my favorite movies, and I attribute that fact to the wonderful Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris..
Katherine Heigl's popularity has skyrocketed since this, yet Danielle Harris has been pretty stagnant.
This movie was previously unavailable on Video (save for a few video stores, and $70 ebay copies), but thanks to Warner Brothers selling the distribution rights, Wish Upon a Star is now on DVD!!
For anyone who has a sibling they feel they can't relate to, this movie is a wonderful chance to see that it doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris shine like stars.
i stumbled upon this surfing through the channels-i only stopped because i think katherine heigl is gorgeous!
imagine my shock that this is a delightful movie and ms heigl has risen way up on my list of talented young actresses.
I first saw this movie on the Disney channel and I liked it so much I spent 2 months searching for to buy.
I would recommend anyone that hasn't seen this movie to invest into buying it or renting it if you can find it.
Its on ebay for like $10 shipped to your door.Also when I first saw this movie I was living in Salt Lake City and after a little research I found that a good percentage of the movies was film in the Salt Lake City Area.
Just thought I would share that and I hope that you take the time to sit down with the family and watch this movie it will be time well spent.
A really good film for Disney.
I mean, Disney is known for doing a lot of movies where teens switch places, and they usually are really bad..
The "Valentine" star Katherin Heigl was very likable as the bitchy older sister that turned good when she switched places with her sister played by "Urban Legend" star Danielle Harris.
I first saw it on the disney channel a while ago and I just got done watching it again now.
Both actresses are very actractive(I think I'm in love with Danielle Harris)  Funny at parts and also dramatic when it wants to be.
This is one of the better movies that aired in one of Disney Channel's better days.
Basically, it's about two teenage sisters switching places, one of which is a popular and gorgeous yet airheaded senior that works hard to become the high school's Winter Fest queen, while the other is a socially inept yet bright and undeniably cute sophomore whose major goal this school year is to succeed in the school's science fair.
The contrast between each of the girls makes for a very interesting and fun movie to watch.It's very much aimed towards younger audiences, although Disney obviously disagrees with quite a few of its themes and somewhat suggestive scenes.
The plot is easy to follow, and the characters are even easier to fall in love with.If you liked watching this movie all the time on television, I suggest you grab the DVD.
I love Grey's Anatomy and Izzie is my favorite in it so I wanted to watch Katherine Heigl's previous work.
While the story is undoubtedly clichéd, the girls' performances were great.There is one fun fact, though.
Danielle Harris played the younger sister but she is actually a year and a half older that Katherine Heigl.
Besides, since they were supposed to have switched bodies, each of them were playing their own age for most of the movie anyway.
Danielle Harris and Katherine Heigl pull off playing their characters (indeed in each other's skins, from a certain point, as per the plot) very well; Heigl portraying Alexia as the shallow, appearance-obsessed 'prom queen' type who is won round to a bit more humility, and Harris investing a great deal of touching uncertainty into her Hayley Wheaton.
Things are simplistic; but who on earth would take a Disney film, or indeed virtually any teen movie (high school life appears a self-contained phantasma of a world, in many recent movies) and expect to gain particular insight into real life matters?Rating:- *** 1/2/*****.
One evening, they both wish upon a shooting star that they were each other, and the next morning they wake up that way.As the story goes, they end up appreciating each other, learning some lessons, and eventually wish together, holding hands, to revert.
The parents are Psychology Today readers, and are experimenting with bringing up their children to learn from their own mistakes, so basically any way they want to act, or dress, is OK with the parents.Nice brainless diversion for adults, an entertaining film for teens, I give it a "6" of 10..
it's a disney channel movie that's GOOD!!.
While baby sitting I would sometimes be forced to watch Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel, but when this movie came on the DC one time, I didn't mind.
Wish Upon a Star is really entertaining, because the two actresses start the movie off as certain characters (one is the older, bitchy, popular sister, the other is the younger, nerdier, nicer one) but then take on each other's characters when the younger one wishes on a star to be her older sister.
This film is also WAY less sappy and more tart than most Disney Channel movies.
It may look like a typical teen movie it's much more than that!
It's truly a heartwarming film of sisters getting to know one another and truly loving one another.
Wish upon a star is a great film to watch for fun, its a must see in my opinion.
I loved all the clothes they wore in the film, and i know that isn't what made the film good, but it just made it better for me.
Its got a great original story line and i loved every minute of it!
Its clever and the two lead actresses are really good and make it really funny but quite sad at the same time.
This is one of the few films that i can watch loads of times and that i would want to buy.
two sisters switch places when they wish to be each other on a star.
i wish they would put it on TV more....i loved the part when they threw pennies into the toilet to see if they would change back and i liked the part when the older sister found out her sister and her friend was reading her diary.
it was funny when the younger sister had to drive her boyfriend to his house from school.
I loved the characters, especially Danielle Harris (Hayley Wheaton) and her sister Katherine Heigl (Alexia Wheaton).
*The Plot* Two teenage girls named Alexia and Hayley, one younger, one older are both a little envious of each other because Alexia is popular and Hayley is smart and decide they like to switch places with each other and they wish on a star that could be each other.
It is a funny movie that kids of all ages can enjoy.
I think this was a very good movie.
The acting is great and even though I did not LOVE the clothes (what can I say,it was made in 1996) I think teens would like it,I would know I am a teen.
The good thing about it is that you don't have to get ready to fast-forward every minute (not like most movies nowadays because of all the content in it), this moive is great for most everyone, especially teens and families.
I expected your average sappy family flick but was happily surprised by "Wish upon a Star" mainly because the acting by the two leads was fantastic.
*********** (11 stars out of 5!)  (Did you know Donnie Jeffcoat [Kyle] was in WILD & CRAZY KIDS?)GREAT MOVIE!.
i just watched it and i wish i could have a sister and be like Haley and Alexia Wheaton!
EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS MOVIE!
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.
A Great Family Movie that teaches good lessons.
I watched this movie thinking "typical Disney" but was very pleasantly surprised.
Not only did it feature future star Katherine Heigl, incredible acting, a great storyline, and several important moral lessons for kids, but I was amazed at how much the plot matched my own two daughters, one of whom is the super popular Alexia (Heigl) and the other who mirrors the brainy yet nerdy Haley (Katherine Harris).
I had them and my two boys watch it with me, and it really kept their interest and gave them a lot to think about after wards.This is a story of wanting to be like somebody else, envying them, and then learning what it would really be like in someone else's shoes.
The popular and pretty Alexia and the nerdy yet brainy Haley must trade places (aka Vice-Versa, Freaky Friday) and in the end shows how their relationship is strengthened by really understanding each other.
Overall a superb family film, my favorite Disney movie of its type, and it's cult classic status is well deserved.
Harris, the younger sister, was actually 1.5 years older than Heigl, and it did show.
But this can be forgiven because it must have been hard to cast a younger sister for a 14 yo Heigl, who was bound to be Alexia in spite of her age simply because she was so pretty and had the right look.
I have never seen anything like this in any Disney movie, but in the end I did not lower my rating because Heigl literally had a body to die for then, so how could I blame them?
fine switched body teen movie.
Alexia Wheaton (Katherine Heigl) is the popular hot girl in school and her sister Hayley (Danielle Harris) is a nerd.
Hayley is jealous and makes a wish on a shooting star to be Alexia.
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.
I went to the School where the movie was filmed!.
I was living in Utah when I first saw the movie in the Disney Channel in 2000.
I remember that when I saw that some parts of the movie were filmed in the High School I was going to then I got so excited.
And to feel like that 15 year old in High School.
I really liked this movie.
I really liked this movie.
I really liked this movie.
It's like a way to let you know that even though you have a big sister that you can still share lots of things in common with her/him.
I saw it on the Disney Channel and haven't seen the beginning yet, but the middle and ending is great.
Take two good actresses (actors) and make them imitate one another the half of the movie.
This is a very interesting way of filming a comedy (or action) movie.
By the way, i've got impressed by Ketherin Heigl's extreme beauty, and good acting too.
It is truly a classic Disney-Channel sort of film.
What helps the film the most is the two stars, Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris.
While the age swapping wasn't too difficult a stretch for these two beautiful women (Harris is actually older than Heigl in real life), what was great about their acting was how they fed off of each other.
Whenever anybody's discussing Disney Channel movies (which, as a high school senior, I have to say happens more than I'd like to admit), I always pretend like I know what I'm talking about by saying that this movie is THE classic.
How could I not award it a 10 myself?I hope to see Danielle Harris in more starring roles like this (instead of the minor one she had in "Urban Legend") and to see Katherine Heigl just become more and more popular.
Danielle Harris was a refreshing young actress along with the girl who played her older sister, Katherine Heigl.
It's so typical of movies set in high school and I love that.
I love that the sisters are so different from each other because siblings are usually like that before they discover how important they are to each other.
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..
Ok this movie was funny...at least to have a good time seeing it.
i totally recommend this movie for all ages and think it is hilarious and FUN!!!
The girls are played by excellent actresses, and i could watch it over and over!!
This movie was fun for the whole family to watch.
This movie was fun for the whole family to watch.
This is a very good movie for you and your family to watch...
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!!!
When I first saw this movie I was like 8 and I remember wanting to be like Alexia and have that life style and boyfriend.
It was a great movie and then Disney stopped playing it and that sucks because it's really a good movie.
(Some Spoilers) I thought that the sisters had a real good bond at the end it made the movie cuter and the whole Kyle and Alexia relationship was sweet.
The DVD has some stuff that they didn't show on Disney which is cool just like things they say like Alexia was talking about the festival and she says " screw the festival" and the whole cafeteria scene which is funny.
I really liked this movie after watching it a few times.
This is pretty good "switcheroo" movie because you could very well tell who was who because of their personalities when they switch.
Let's see, I liked this movie because it shows the evolution, mood swings, and heart of how these two teenage girls live their lives in high school.
The movie has some good music in it, and it has some comedy as well.
I think is is just one of those movies that you could watch if you have nothing else to do.
And overall I know that most people who have a good understanding of what a high school movie is will know that this is a good example of one.
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.
My favorite part in the entire movie is when (Alexia in Hayley's body)dresses up in this sexy body suit and wears it to school.
When and if you watch the movie you will see what I am talking about..
My next favorite part in the movie is when Alexia in Hayley's body is in Science class and says that a comet is an abrasive cleaner, when he is talking about the Comet the shooting star.
