The Wish List (2010 TV Movie)
1/10
Don't bother

Warning: Spoilers
Sarah (Jennifer) is a girl that is anal retentive in that everything must be just so. All the guys she dates have faults that at first the hide from her, but eventually come out.

Every morning she gets a "latte" at her certain coffee house from the same guy until the one day she walks in and "Fred" is on the counter. This is the character that ruined the movie for me. Fred is a control freak and he determines what the person should get instead of the customer making an order. Sarah orders her usual, but Fred determines that isn't right for her and won't make it. She then turns to leave and bumps into Erik. Erik is the perfect guy for her, but you know that there is no way they'll end up together since the heroine (Sarah) must change at the end and be with the hero (Fred) and dump the sap (Erik).

It would have been a much better movie if Fred wasn't so controlling and some of the scenes were more realistic. Fred stalks her, finds out her phone number and some how found out when it was her birthday, as the day of her BD there is a sign that lattes are free on your birthday. This is the only day I saw the sign. He then discovers that Erik is outta town and calls her after work and has her come down to the coffee house. When she gets there he has it all decorated for a BD party with a full house of party goers. Not sure why she stayed since she didn't know any of them!! and one of her list items was family. Why wasn't she at her mother's (or) sister's for her birthday since she over at one of their houses every other scene.

Overall I think it was poorly written, poorly directed and some of the characters unbelievable. Feel badly for Jennifer as I like her acting a lot.
