Wishing Out Loud (2015)

Wishing Out Loud: Directed by Letia Clouston. With Lexi Giovagnoli, Calum Worthy, Diedrich Bader, Julia Duffy. When her birthday wish magically summons wacky Hollywood actor Drake to her small Midwestern town, Sophie has to figure out how to help him fit in until she can get him back home. But Drake is more interested in helping Sophie stand out.

“This teenage romantic comedy is both amateurish and endearing. There are several scenes early in the movie that are quite lame and the acting not very polished as well as the dramatics being quite tame by comparison to the more fancy and flamboyantly captivating romance comedy dramas. Nevertheless, the simplicity and sincerity of the dialogue somehow actually can reflect a more genuine heartful story that reveals more an entrancing believability. The lead actress isnu0026#39;t the bombshell model that one finds in almost any rom com (instead sheu0026#39;s almost the typical average teenage female that one can find in the majority of the high school population) while the teenage starlet has this almost naïve, yet insatiably innocent, fantasy persona who nevertheless offers a refreshing honesty and deeper helpful truths about life even though he is supposedly a product of the movie industry.”
