DawnFields I thought the heart and soul of this little indie film was amazing. It was touching and a great story/lesson. It should be mandatory viewing in schools.

piterry The filmmakers did a professional job, the music was excellent and what a take on the big hairy guy, very well done! The rich kid was a little much, but the story of the two lead girls and the wish was handled and portrayed beautifully - great job!

ectoy I was really impressed with this local film after seeing it at its premiere and wanted to check out the book that it was based on, also by an area author. Wow, it is BAD. Whereas once you take away the entire "local" bit about the film and see its flaws and shortcomings, it is still fairly decent and way better than I'd expect from a local "independent film." Upon reading the book it becomes clear that most of the problems with the movie come from story itself. The movie does a way better job than the book in cutting the fat and staying more focused on the story, as well as in keeping the bad dialogue in check. This movie definitely deserves a look, especially if you're from western PA; just do yourself a favor and avoid the book its based on.

tonygnzls As an independent film, A Wish for Giants pulls from local resources and talent from the western pa region and deploys a fast-paced family-oriented film that stirs the heart. It may not win any academy awards, but the story theme and combined talent make this a proud win for western pa...definitely a must-see!
