jtindahouse I went into 'Careful What You Wish For' not really knowing what to expect. Often when thrillers cast non-actors (often musicians) in their lead roles they are trying to garner some publicity and cover up a weak script. So I was surprised to find myself genuinely enjoying it. The acting wasn't all that bad and Nick Jonas carried himself well especially. Isabel Lucas also impressed me. She has a mysteriousness about her that worked perfectly in this film. The story was patient and building, while never becoming stale or boring. It had a couple of nice twists to keep things exciting and really ticked all the boxes a thriller should.The plot has a bit of a "seen it all before" feel about it. There's no question Hollywood is lacking originality and 'Careful What You Wish For' does nothing to expel those claims. The ending (after the twist) also came up seriously lacking, showing perhaps a touch of laziness on the writer's part. Those faults aside though it really isn't a bad little watch. Don't be put off by the casting of Jonas, give it a shot and you'll be pleased you did.

Filip Vasic One user sad she is to young, but she is '85 and he is '92, for me that is not the problem! And he sad that acting is bad?! No it is not, it is normal nothing superb or something but not bad at all!Overall there is place were she/he could act better, but acting is 7/10. Story line is around 8.5/10, it can be better, on this or that way, but overall, there is some mystery, some thriller, some drama and there is no a lot of sex (what you may expect) but that is good thing!Only bad thing is that movie is similar to the other movies (i can't remember name, but there is few of)...I expect part 2 or something :D

thesouthafricanreview This thriller stars Isabel Lucas, Nick Jonas, Dermot Mulroney, Paul Sorvino and Kandyse McClure. In short, this is another "someone's a murderer" movie + a Jonas brother. I'm not a Jonas brother fan, but Nick did surprise me, he wasn't great but he wasn't as awful as I expected him to be. That being said, it's a good thing that Dermot Mulroney wasn't present in most of the movie because the six time award- winning actor might have out shined his co-star NickIsabel Lucas, although stunning, looks a little strange and unnatural with Nick. Regardless of this, she does have the voice, emotionless expression and body language of a classic James Bond girl in the beginning. This works for her as it suits the character she portrays but also might make it look like she cannot act. It would be interesting to see her in something else.I should also mention that the plot is unfortunately un-original and somewhat predictable through half the movie. The acting of certain co-stars such as Kandyse McClure also leaves much to be desired. Maybe that's why this site and other sites, don't even mention her. That said if you're a Jonas fan you'll like this.

Julian Keown This is a typical movie with a typical plot line that won't surprise you. It's a sad day when a singer tries to become an actor because they rarely get it right. It's a good thing Dermot Mulroney doesn't appear much or Nick Jonas wouldn't stand a chance against him. Also, did Dermot have to downplay his acting skills just to accommodate Nick? Nick Jonas seems like he's expecting a fan girl to jump out at any moment right through this movie. Malnourished but beautiful Isabel Lucas's acting is just about as dull as her expressions. Looking like she's on the runway instead of on a set. This is why I'm not a fan of starring models. The other actors and actresses were also bland and un-impressionable. And the ending? Is as predictable as the sun coming up the next morning. The only thing that sets this movie apart from all the others of it's kind is, you guessed it! A Jonas brother.
