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.

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.

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.
