  • Wishful Thinking
  • Drew Barrymore (CHARLIE'S ANGELS, DUPLEX) heads a hot cast in an outrageously fun romantic comedy about trust, destiny, and love in the '90s! Max and Elizabeth (Jennifer Beals -- DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS, THE PROPHECY II) have been living together for years. But when it becomes clear that he's not ready to get married, she becomes more and more withdrawn ... until Max is convinced that Elizabeth is fooling around on the side! Then as Max's suspicion grows, sexy Lena (Barrymore) further complicates matters by stepping in with a hilarious scheme to win him over! Also starring Jon Stewart (THE FACULTY, PLAYING BY HEART) as a funny photographer with an eye for Elizabeth -- you'll laugh along with all the zany desperation that arises as jealousy and manipulation intrude into these unconventional modern relationships!
