Here's a portrait of both older women and men living life to the fullest, and not settling for second best just because society sets deadlines. It also gives hope to those who are divorced or widowed.

In Susan Walters' sudsy screenplay, Sharon Stone is subjected to stock romantic situations time and time again, dragged along by Walters' insipid and uninspired direction.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 25, 2018

"All I Wish" is a dream role for Stone, if only the character was given a better movie to exist in.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 14, 2018

The script, from first time director Susan Walter, is strong and her direction keeps the film moving with very little slow spots. A fine freshman debut.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 9, 2018

All I Wish, despite boasting a strong cast and performances, fails to deliver the goods. Its Graduate-esque ending is emblematic of the movie itself, clichd and tawdry.

| Apr 5, 2018

All I Wish feels like the kind of thing designed to flatter its intended audience, i.e., it's okay to spend most of your life without a man, middle-aged ladies! On second thought, that isn't the world's worst message. I just wish this was a better film.

| Apr 3, 2018

It's too predictable and too disingenuous about the realities of what it means to be an 'older' woman. But Sharon Stone is totally charming.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 2, 2018

The one-day-per-year gimmick at the heart of this flat romance never really clicks, possibly because Senna isn't particularly appealing, staying shallow and unchanging throughout.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2018

Despite plenty of on-screen parties, there's little to celebrate regarding this predictable romantic comedy about a midlife crisis.

| Mar 30, 2018

[Stone's] performance anchors the light-as-air "All I Wish." It's the perfect role for her to sink her teeth into, sexy and fun, but she brings a sense of real intelligence and soulfulness to the character.

| Mar 30, 2018

Stone is bubbly and appealing in the role, but she's saddled with dialogue as clunky as a flat tire.

| Original Score: C | Mar 30, 2018

It's left to Stone to prop up the whole scented-tissue affair, and that she cheerfully does, with a calm, centered force of personality that lends credibility even to the most raggedly developed aspects of her character.

| Mar 30, 2018

[T]he point of drama is that an audience can witness people and events in the process of change. Walter denies that to us with this story.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 30, 2018

Decent romantic comedies, especially ones featuring middle-aged protagonists, are so few and far between that it makes the mediocrity of writer-director Susan Walter's effort all the more regrettable.

| Mar 29, 2018

All I Wish offers a combination of mid-life crisis and conventional romantic comedy but never feels entirely coherent or believable.

| Mar 29, 2018

Sharon Stone tries valiantly in vain to make something emotionally real of this false-ringing, awkwardly written and edited rom-com about two L.A. forty-somethings.

| Mar 29, 2018

Even when the script doesn't trip over gumball wedding rings and tone-deaf karaoke scenes, the direction drains the story of specificity and feeling.

| Mar 29, 2018

By the time you watch them have their big first kiss, then break up, then get back together again, it plays less like a real movie and instead one of those memory slideshows your iPhone photo album generates for you.

| Mar 28, 2018

"All I Wish" has some sizable issues with tone and originality, but it does have Stone, and her charms are welcome here, especially when Walter loses her way.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 28, 2018

Sharon Stone is terrific, and while the movie deserves credit for giving her a strong role, it suffers from failing to rise to her level.

| Original Score: 1.5 | Mar 28, 2018
