Wow... Soo much better than 16 Wishes (2010), even though the story was completely different. It was about a teenaged girl who turns 16 and yet no one really cared about her and absolutely forgot all about her day. Her own family focused more on the bride than the birthday girl to be honest in other words. I mean her school just threw in a dance party at the gym and all, but you see... It's not all sunshine, rainbows, lollipops, unicorns, and some magical fairy coercing you to make a wish via blowing out candles to somehow have all your dreams come true instantly. No... This is reality, but it wasn't limited to a Chinese boy named Long Don Duck, a group full of nerdy geek boys, athletes, etc. I have to consider this a new cult classic due to the fact it was disambiguated from some watered down DCOM version for over a decade since then. If you grew up viewing 16 Wishes as a child AND are over 18, go see the original 1984 movie called Sixteen Candles. This would help change your perspective somewhat to the facts of life itself.
