I enjoyed this.

And the premise is either entirely improbable by any stretch of the imagination. Or...this is a very true-to-life "fictional" depiction by insiders of this one hundred percent (100%) totally happening international thing of people like this.

Regardless. It is good fun. And once we are clued in as to what is really occurring, things get nicely tense and unpredictable. Do a lot of those things always make sense? Naw. Who cares. Are there so many things not cool with the entire deal and not just that one ingredient in the dessert? Yep. But hey, it's a crazy, carefree world these days.

It was great going into this movie totally unaware of what it's about. And that made for a nicer experience.

Oh and it has some dark humor in spots too.

Could be a tv show

"What You Wish For" had the potential to be a binge-worthy limited series. The premise of a down-on-his-luck chef impersonating a colleague for a wealthy family with dark secrets is packed with tension and ripe for exploration over multiple episodes.

A TV show format would have allowed for a deeper dive into the characters' motivations and the bizarre world they inhabit. We could have seen the chef navigate the opulent estate and its eccentric inhabitants over time, building suspense and gradually unraveling the family's mysteries.

The film felt rushed, cramming a story with rich potential into a short runtime. A series could have fleshed out the plot, creating a more satisfying and suspenseful viewing experience.

Strange, Disturbing, and so Disgusting!

My friends and I were looking for something to watch and came across this movie. We had no idea what to expect but it sounded interesting and we love to watch cooking shows so we decided to give it a try.

It started off a little slow, and it was so chill and calm. But slowly, what was really happening was revealed, and the characters were so matter-of-fact about it that you kind of didn't know what to think of it!

We were intrigued as to how the movie would end, and what the characters would do, that we watched it all the way to the end.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it to anyone I know, but I guess there's an audience for it!
