Wish Upon's reviews
Media reviews
New York Times
The splatter is deployed cautiously and sometimes wittily, the story moving briskly from wishes granted to costs exacted with the help of familiar faces (including a warm Sherilyn Fenn as Clare?s surrogate mother) and a sympathetic lead.
The Hollywood Reporter
Much of the film?s effectiveness can be credited to King, who makes Shannon appealing even when acting selfishly. It?s also refreshing to see a teen character portrayed by an actual teenager as opposed to the usual twentysomething.
The A.V. Club
The real shame is that Joey King got yanked into this cut-rate crap.
The Guardian
This is carelessly made trash but worse, it?s carelessly made trash that thinks it will spawn not just a franchise but a cinematic universe
Indiewire
Fortunately, you don?t need to wish for better versions of the movie experience Wish Upon calls to mind; they exist, and deserve repeat viewings far more than Wish Upon deserves one.
