The Wishing Well (2009 TV Movie)
5/10
There's A Wishing Well. Old Song Better than this Film **1/2
16 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Our heroine adapts too quickly to her new situation after she is demoted from her job and goes to write for another magazine.

Her making a wish in the town wishing well transports her to a totally different life. She meets very plain, ordinary people and is easily able to identify with them quickly. Though an excellent reporter, she takes criticism too easily from the editor of the tank town in Illinois that she is writing for. Of course, he is a widower with a young daughter and we know that romance will blossom.

When she wakes up from reality, she gives up the opportunity of a lifetime to return to the small town and bond with the editor. The ending was absolutely benign.

Ernest Borgnine co-stars as a motel owner and Sally Kellerman, a waitress, if you can believe that one as Ms. Kellerman is now 72 years of age.

What was her original wish when she cast the coins in the wishing well. Her editor didn't believe in the well and how right he was.
