About This Movie

So, Wishman is this quirky little gem from 1992 that balances comedy and fantasy in a way that's both charming and downright whimsical. It revolves around Basie, a junk collector with a heart of gold, who's smitten with Lily, a woman he admires from afar. The pacing has a nice flow, allowing you to soak in the oddball humor and Basie's endearing antics. And then there's the Genie, a bit of a lost soul himself, which adds a surreal twist. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain homemade charm that complements the film's atmosphere. It's that kind of offbeat story that reminds you of the magic in the mundane and the importance of kindness, wrapped in a light-hearted package.
