Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by award winning author Wally Lamb. A vivid slice of 1960s life, Wishin' and Hopin' is a wise-and-witty holiday tale that celebrates where we've been-and how far we've come. In the small town of Three Rivers, Connecticut, we go straight into the halls of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parochial School with Felix Funicello, a Catholic school fifth-grader in 1964, whose claim to fame is his cousin Annette Funicello, the famous Mouseketeer and teen movie queen.

In the vein of the Christmas story... almost to a fault. Chevy Chase is the highlight with his narration. The mostly child cast also makes the charm that much more charming. However, the laughs can be a little cheap, and the direction is a bit amateur (especially the CGI sky and breath). I also don't like Molly Ringwald.... yeah. It was alright for a christmas movie.

Harmless enough, but undermined by the fakey IMDb 'reviews' gushing about it being a "new holiday classic." Please. Outside the occasional moments of amiability, this thing limped around as though it had been taken off below one knee and given a certain leg lamp as a prosthesis. Tolerable, sure, but it's no Christmas Story.
