Make a Wish

A struggling cartoonist creates a magical character named "The Last Dragon Boy" who comes to life and offers him a chance to fulfill his deepest desires. However, he soon learns that altering fate comes with unforeseen and dangerous consequences.

Make a Wish received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences. While some appreciated its imaginative premise and visual style, many found the plot convoluted and the character development lacking. It is often considered one of Shyamalan's less successful films.

• Praised for its unique concept and visual ambition.

• Criticized for a confusing and ultimately unsatisfying narrative.

• Character performances were deemed inconsistent, particularly the protagonist's journey.

Google audience: Google users largely found the film to be a mixed bag. Many enjoyed the visual elements and the initial premise, but a significant portion expressed disappointment with the story's execution and pacing, leading to a divided audience response.

Although M. Night Shyamalan is credited as the director, the film was originally conceived as a "script-doctoring" project for an existing screenplay, with Shyamalan's involvement escalating to full directorial duties.
