16 Wishes is a very fun and lighthearted movie. It's aimed to entertain teen girls, which it definitely succeeded in doing so.
The movie is about a teenage girl who just turned 16 and looking forward for her best birthday ever. She gets a box of 16 candles which correlate to her 16 wishes she made for when she was a little girl. Every time she lit up a candle, a wish would come true. It's a very nice concept and I enjoyed the movie a lot. It teaches many things to teenagers and kids watching this movie yet entertaining them at all times.
However, there are some flaws. First of all, the characters, especially the main character, don't seem to act as a teenagers would regularly act. The dialogue is sometimes odd and makes it very clear to the audience that the script was written by a 40 year old. The plot and concept are very good and I was definitely hyped to watch this movie when I heard the concept, however the story is very predictable and cliché. But this is a Disney teen movie, what do you expect?
Nonetheless, 16 Wishes is a great movie for people who just want to enjoy a lighthearted film with their family or friends.

16 wishes is a light comedy with a predictable story but a feel good plot overall. The performances were good as well and the movie entertaining till the very ending. So five out of ten.
Another Disney made for TV movie...trying to promote its' young stars. The actress this time is Debbie Ryan..who is apple fresh and glowing..and fairly talented too. She has been on another of Disneys' TV shows.."The Suite Life On Deck"..and now she gets a shot at becoming a major Disney star. The movie is typical Disney fare..the main character is faced with a major problem..seeks to find a way to fix it..and somehow manages to mess things up...because she was too greedy and wanted to be someone other than who she was. She then gets a second chance to fix things back to normal..and finally, she does...learning a lesson in the process. All is saved and everyone goes home happy. It is predictable as all things Disney are when it comes to movies..but kids should enjoy it..especially pre teen and teen girls. Fairy tales do come true...and while real life is not quite like this...it is fine family fare. The only thing I had a problem with is that I wish they would stop stereo-typing the characters so much. :)
I really enjoyed this film and it's makes you wish you got candles on your 16 birthday that you could make wishes. I think it's a must see Disney film I enjoyed Debby Ryan acting in the film and found her funny to watch. Rate this a great film.
For every 2006 kid that usually switched on Disney channel, this is THE childhood movie.
I remember them replaying it usually and I've always watched it because of Debby Ryan , because I started missing Jessie i little bit too much.
The story has an interesting point. Kind of stolen from their original cartoons such as Snow White and Cinderella.
The acting is on top for a kids movie from the 2000s'
The idea of having your 16 wishes throughout a whole day of adventures then suddenly ending up being 21 doesn't really add up to me much ,but I guess it still works ,since it shows how good it is to be a child.
