تمنى شيئا على الشهاب الساقط

I first knew about this movie from a friend's recommendation. I love Grey's Anatomy and Izzie is my favorite in it so I wanted to watch Katherine Heigl's previous work. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. 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. I do think it made sense to reverse the girls' roles. Katherine is not only at least a foot taller than Danielle, she is also much prettier. Besides, since they were supposed to have switched bodies, each of them were playing their own age for most of the movie anyway. I think the girls were perfectly cast in this film.

Ok this movie was funny...at least to have a good time seeing it. It's very dramatic the situation although the movie is a comedy...can you imagine yourself into your younger brother´s body who's an annoying brat? brr makes me feel sick.Anyways i laughed a lot...the gal who plays Alexia is really pretty ( if you're seeing this please contact me honey, hehehehe) & the other sis, well she isnt bad too, but i still prefer Alexia...can you believe that in real life Hayley is older than Alexia? i never imagined that...weird uh?

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!! The storyline is good too and i think that the dance is so cool!! 5 out of 5

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. It still retains its status as a PG-rated movie. 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. The commentary alone is worth the investment.

Okay I'm not going to say it's great, but it is good and entertaining, it serves its purpose. I was interested in the movie, and didn't find it boring. It reminded me of movies I've seen before, but it's a fun plot, so it works. All of the actors and actresses did a great job also.

I was living in Utah when I first saw the movie in the Disney Channel in 2000. I really liked the movie, I was 15 then. But I still remember the story. I've been wanting to buy the movie in a store, but I haven't find it yet. 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. Ha ha! I thought that for some reason I would be in the movie. That movie brings really good memories. I hope to watch it again really soon, after 6 years. And to feel like that 15 year old in High School. Why is it that I haven't seen it again in the Disney Channel? I wonder if some other people think the same.

Ah, what's become of you, Mr May, I hear some folks saying, "*liking* a Disney film!" Well, I'll just say that this was a perfectly enjoyable, minor film, that barely really bears the Disney mark. It doesn't especially moralise or grotesquely sentimentalise (the sentiments are well handled). Where there are morals, there are suitably hands-off, jocular parents, playing libertarians, and two sisters reconciling their differences. Not to mention the chestnut of the ghastly, 'cool' peer group being shown up for what it is - a rule-bound coalition of bitchy remarks. Yes, this film is far from revolutionary, and many aspects tend towards a strong conventionality; but it's carried off with impressive gusto by the two central actresses. 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. That Hayley has the 'inner beauty' is starkly emphasized; she feels beyond the make-up and artifice of her sister, and ironically manages much better with the hapless boyfriend of Alexia's, who Alexia had dumped. A fair amount is done with the fantastical premise; obviously much is unexplored, but this is a family film, and really its job is satisfactorily done. It entertains, with little pretension other than to tell a simple story and expound a few easy, yet broadly sound moral points. 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/*****

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. So really, each actress was trained to play the other's role, you know? It's an interesting concept. This film is also WAY less sappy and more tart than most Disney Channel movies. Hey, it mentions virginity! It's a pleasant surprise, and the girl from "Roswell" plays the older sis.

A nice, PG teenage film, about two sisters who are totally different. The younger one, a sophomore, is plain and studious, the older is glamorous and a marginal C- student who is in one of those ubiquitous "cliques" in high school. 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.

You can't beat Disney for predictability, normally, but this movie is surprisingly hard to follow, coming in in the middle, and that is actually to its credit; the shamaltz may be there, and the end scene of the two sisters gazing lovingly at each other while they dance with their boy toys is rather disconcerting, an example of misdirected directing and mediocre acting, but the plot is, if cliched, at least complicated. Anyway, don't expect too much, and you may find a redeeming virtue, be it the excuse to gaze at the handsome jock the pretty sister bags, or the oppurtunity for heckling when the younger sister's "catch" is suitably ugly and loserly, and so the heirarchy of high school is maintained. Watch this with your sister, decide you're glad you're not her, move on with your li
