User Reviews
If you’re a juvenile looking for mild mental stimulation with one eye on another screen, it’s passable.
If you’re as old as I am then you’ll quickly suss this is a regurgitated plot based on the classic film ‘Body Heat’ (1981) with William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. I continued watching just to see how close to the wind they sailed. And yep, I suggest you cut your losses and immerse yourself in the original.
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.
Doug Martin is a local boy who gets attracted to Lena, the beautiful young woman who lived next door. Problem is she is married to a much older wealthy man who was shrouded in an aura of danger. Of course, his teenage hormones got the better of Doug when Lena encouraged his interest. But then, where there is an illicit affair, a violent payback will not be far behind.
This story has been told many times before. An young guy is seduced by a sexy married woman. This type of film is usually told from the woman’s point of view like the recent Jennifer Lopez film «The Boy Next Door», though the point of view is reversed in this one. It also brought back memories of «A Night in Heaven» and «Private Lessons» shown back in the early 1980s. IMDb lists down at least 40 films with this steamy plot, mostly trashy B-flicks. This just goes to show that films like this that deal with adolescent sexual temptation will always be there to appeal to the baser instincts of viewers.
Isabel Lucas seems too young to play the femme-fatale Lena. She looks great to look at, a true seductress, that is, when she is not talking. When there are lines to deliver though, her limited acting skills show. It seems she has not really improved her craft since her similarly wooden big screen debut in «Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen».
Dermot Mulroney, an all-around good guy in most of his old films, plays against type as Lena’s sinister husband. It was good to see Paul Sorvino as the local policeman. Too bad these two veteran actors were underused in their limited scenes.
This film is clearly a showcase for Nick Jonas to signal his foray into more mature film roles. Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, herself previously associated with teen-oriented films and TV shows like «Aquamarine» and «Gossip Girl», lovingly sets up her camera to capture her star Nick Jonas in his best angles, in various stages of undress for his teenage girl fans (old enough to watch R-rated films) to ogle at. To his credit, Jonas does register well on screen and he did do passably in the acting department.
Fresh from being slimed as emcee of the last Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Nick Jonas may find it hard to escape his teen idol image at first. Mark Wahlberg has proved that that curse could be overcome. As for Jonas though, that still remains to be seen. 4/10.
Writer Chris Frisina needs a breath of fresh air. This tired old story has few saving graces and Elizabeth Allen’s direction make the story plod even more slowly. Nick Jonas needs to discuss his movie choices more closely with his agent: films this sad won’t make a dent in his career if he intends to be taken seriously as an actor.
Briefly (the is so little story line hat a few words will suffice), Doug Martin (Nick Jonas – best when he take his shirt off) is living at the lake, bored, virginal, girl shy when an out of town couple decides to rent the house next door. The wife Lena is an anorexic appearing seductress (Isabel Lucas) married to an older wealthy investment banker Elliot (Dermot Mulroney) who abuses Lena under Doug’s watchful eye. Lena seduces Doug, Doug is controlled by his hormones on this first sexual adventure and under cover the two carry on a sordid affair. Elliot is away most of the time but on one visit home he ends up dead and the manner in which the incident happened and is covered and investigated by sheriff Jack (Lee Sorvino) and insurance investigator Angie (Kandyse McClure) results in a very predictable worn out ending.
This is one of those films that did poorly at the box office – understandably – and is something to wait to watch until it is free on late night television re-runs to act as a somnolent.
«Careful What You Wish For» is a fairly well-crafted thriller in the tradition of such neo-noir classics as «Body Heat.» Unfortunately, the film was slow-moving, and there was not much chemistry between the two lead performers.
Both Nick Jonas and Isabel Lucas were good in their roles of Doug and Lena. But the adulterous relationship that was at the heart of the film was never very credible, let alone sizzling. The Kathleen Turner-William Hurt relationship in «Body Heat» is a good barometer for the best in this style of filmmaking.
The best part of this film was the ending sequence that focused on a complicated scam pulled off by the femme fatale character Lena. Paul Sorvino is good as the local cop who recognizes the innocence of Doug.
But major loose ends abounded in the film, including the climactic scene in the Pines Motel. How did Doug know to go to that site for the incriminating evidence against Lena? How could Lena and her friend possibly escape from the authorities? And also, did Doug ever get to Columbia University, where had been accepted as a student? The viewer needed a better wrap-up in this average action pic.
First, let me tell you that wishing for this movie to be good will be of no avail. There’s no reason in hoping for a satisfying thriller like this one seems to claim, because doing so will only lead to a massive letdown.
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR’s biggest flaw is neither its premise nor its narrative. There’s a lot to negatively comment about those two areas, but they’re still much more tolerable than the movie’s horrible casting. None of the actors are able to serve the requirements of their roles, and while their characters hold promise of being interesting, none of the performers could actually pull them excellently, even to a tolerable level. Their dialogues and the overly familiar plot, are partly to blame, but it so difficult to jump to that part when the first thing that can be noticed is the horrible designation of the actors to roles utterly unsuited for them. There’s this evil psychopath named Elliot who never really brings as much threat as he is required. Letting Isabel Lucas play a role that doesn’t fit her age is perhaps the biggest mistake in the casting. Even with her capacity fully stretched, Lucas is never able to get halfway meeting all the demands of her character. Her character, Lena, is supposed to be a devious and cunning femme fatale, Isabel Lucas is plain boring. Almost the same can be said with Nick Jonas, although it’s really hard to say his role’s totally garbage, when almost half the time he’s confused and waiting for a good line to throw. If it’s any consolation, there’s a lot of skin shown here, and I’m pretty sure Nick’s fans as well as Isabel’s will be pleased. Other than that, there’s really nothing to expect.
It is really difficult to follow the narrative’s flow when all that worries you is whether the characters are still going to be something interesting or not. The plot isn’t new either, and it still could have been interesting, if the characters are played the way they’re supposed to be. These flaws accrue to an overall feeling that is neither good nor okay, much less satisfying. Albeit cliché, CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR could have been an enjoyable experience. There is so much to mine in its premise, but its terrible casting paralyzes the movie and made itself incapable of digging such potential. The result is an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction.
This is a sexy story with adultery, quite a bit of skin and murder. and it stars Nick Jonas! Yes, THAT Nick Jonas. of the squeaky clean Disney-fied Jonas Brothers! Talk about a major about face with his career! Only a few years ago, he and his brothers were singing to sold out stadiums of pre-teen and teen girls. now Nick is playing in a hard edged rated R film! My how times have changed, but the real question that needs answering is it any good? Well, it’s not at all bad but the film isn’t without a few problems here and there. The biggest one was casting. No, Jonas was actually pretty good. While he’s in his early 20s, he looks younger, so playing a character who is supposed to be 16-17 years- old worked. The problem instead was his co-star, Isabel Lucas. While her acting was quite good, the role should have been played by someone who seemed much older—perhaps a cougar in her 30s. However, Lucas looks to be about Jonas’ age and this makes the story a bit more difficult to believe.
It all begins at a lake in North Carolina. Having lived very, very close to where they actually filmed the movie, it appears to be around Lake Norman—a large lake north of Charlotte, North Carolina that is known for it’s expensive lakefront homes. The Martin’s are a nice and seemingly normal family and their son, Doug (Jonas) is anticipating going off to an excellent college soon. But in the meantime, it’s summer and he and his super-annoying friend (too annoying) are mostly concerned with scoring with the local girls. However, Doug is in for a huge surprise. His new rich neighbor has a very young and very desirable wife, Lena (Lucas). Why she would soon seduced Doug is a puzzler—and Doug is just young and stupid enough not to ask this as well. Soon, he and Lena are having an affair. Not too long after this he’s pulled into a conspiracy. one that might just get them sent to prison! What is the conspiracy? Well, think The Postman Always Rings Twice and you’ll have some idea what’s next. Fortunately, the film does have a few nice twists and turns, though none of it seemed all that surprising to me, as a gorgeous and rich woman like this MUST have some other hidden agenda. and my guess is that this is going to run through your mind as well as you watch. However, despite the plot being occasionally a bit easy to predict at times and the ending a bit too perfect, the acting and direction are very good and the film held my interest throughout.
This Jonas brother’s future looks pretty good after seeing this movie. Is he handsome leading man material? Perhaps, perhaps not. but he can act and was able to more than hold his own in the lead. His biggest problem for the future is his strength in this particular film—he just looks very, very young and I had some trouble seeing him in more adult roles. Time will tell.
Doug Martin (Nick Jonas) is a young man living at home with his parents who begins an affair with the wife of a wealthy man who moves in next door. As is quite often the case this affair doesn’t end well and Doug finds himself in the centre of a murder investigation.
The first half of this film is where it is at its strongest (and believe me I’m using that term loosely here). It sets up the usual story of bored housewife being married to a rich, but rather loathsome, abusive and self-centred husband with a burning desire to leave her loveless marriage. Doug is the excitement and fun that has been lacking in wife’s life hence the reason that she begins the affair. OK it isn’t great up till this point (a lot of the dialogue is dull and it lacks a single powerful or strong moment in its first half, but it does show promise and you feel as though it may slowly burn into something exciting, but you know what this simply doesn’t happen).
What really ruined this film for me was the decision to kill Lena’s husband off at the halfway point in the film. Prior to this, the build-up suggests a simmering tension building up and I was getting the feeling that Elliott would expose their romance and exact his own revenge (particularly as he was being built up as being some sort of psychopath that you shouldn’t mess with). What follows after his death is a rather tedious investigation into his death (which poor old Doug is in the frame for). Doug goes about trying to prove his innocence against impossible odds. Whilst none of this sounds bad when it’s put into writing the same cannot be said for the effect of all of this being put in front of me on the screen; aside from a clever twist at the end, the rest of the murder investigation is dull and uninteresting and quite frankly for the most part it’s a hard film to give a damn about.
It’s poor stuff especially considering it showed some promise in the first half. Personally, I would have preferred it if the trophy-wife’s husband had stuck around for longer as the idea of him finding out about the affair and hunting Doug down would have made for a much more exciting picture. As it is though, it is sexy (in a superficial way), but it’s also mind-numbingly dull.
‘Careful What You Wish For’ was never going to be an Oscar worthy, genre defining, boundary leaping film however for what it is trying to be, which is an easy going, enjoyable and suspenseful piece of drama, it does very well. The storyline and plot my perhaps leave something to be desired but having said that this viewer was taken for the ride with all the twists and turns that were thrown at the audience. For the most part the acting was strong, especially considering the calibre of the actors and the relatively little previous work they have done in the industry. My main criticism would be that there were moments where the focus seemed to be more on moving the plot forward without first establishing the necessary character development to make us fully care what happens to the characters.
Overall an enjoyable flick so long as you go into it expecting the next big thing, and don’t try and analyse every detail but just sit back, relax and don’t take it too seriously.
Careful What You Wish For is a good case study in the failings inherent in the Hollywood star system. The film is essentially star vehicle that is produced well but which fails to deliver anything substantial due to the lackluster performances of its leading actors around whom the film has been structured.
Nick Jonas plays Doug Martin, an adolescent without personality who falls for the gorgeous Lena Harper (Isabel Lucas), a married woman with a dark and devious plan to make big bucks fast. As a leading lady, Lucas does nothing more than showing us her very skinny body as she seduces her way into Jonas’ very silly heart.
The film, directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosen, is not essentially a bad product. Rosen’s direction is competent, the cinematography is pretty, editing is tight, the script holds up alright, and the production itself is of a good quality. There is a solid story arch that held my interest till the end. And it is a nice star vehicle for Lucas and Jonas. But the supposed stars have a very limited acting ability, even at the hands of a director who has a good grasp of her craft born from a long and stable career in television.
Unfortunately, all the potential of this film is lost through a leading couple who never quite arrive as the stars in the vehicle. Unless you are interested in learning from the mistakes made by Lucas and Jonas, you can safely give it a miss.
Direction: 6||Acting: 2||Cinematography: 7||Concept and delivery: 4|
The start of this film was slow but interesting. A bit weird in places morally. It was almost good but I just insanely hated the ending and some other parts as well.
Plot: The story of what most other reviewers are saying is copied, however I’ve never seen any movie with a plot like this so I am 100% unbiased and interested. This film starts off slow like a drama but is interesting. Then leads a bit darker and more of a thriller. However the ending was absolutely crap and after watching this slow paced film made me incredibly unsatisfied with what happened (no spoilers but its dumb)
Acting: The performances were okay, I really enjoyed the feeling of the town and people, it just seems real. I thought the blonde girl was a bit of a crap actor at stages which I think would be hard to do when she is just trying to act seductive the whole movie with some lines here and there.
Cinematography: The shots and overall flow wasnt bad. There isnt any CGI, just some special affects here and there which were a bit nesh in my opinion. There is also color symbolism and symbolism in general not that it helps the plot in any way.
Summary: So basically I wouldn’t recommend this. It was so close to being good and was getting there but the ending was so crap and felt so unfulfilling. There was other parts as well like things that didnt make sense, some boring scenes, slow plot etc.. but mainly the end ruined it for me.
This movie offers a chance for teen heartthrob Nick Jonas to show what he can do as an actor. In addition to that it allows him the chance to take off his shirt, a sight sure to please his fans. But as for bringing something new to the table in the way of movies it offers a tried and true formula rather than an inspired thriller. We’ve seen it before in one form or another and done better, so we know what to expect with each passing moment.
Jonas plays Doug Martin, the teen son of a well to do couple who are once more spending their summer vacation at their cabin on the lake. Along with his best friend Carson (Graham Rogers) he intends to work at the local seafood restaurant owned by Sheriff Big Jack (Paul Sorvino), study and perhaps find someone to hook up with. All of that changes when the new neighbors move in.
Watching from his bedroom window he is the first to see them, starting with the fetching Lena Harper (Isabel Lucas). Her husband Elliot (Dermot Mulroney) is a well to do self-made millionaire type, a cut throat at business and a natural competitor. The couple meet Doug and his family and soon become friendly enough.
One day in a rainstorm Doug sees Lena stuck outside of the house signaling him to come over. She has locked herself out of the house and needs to get inside. Doug helps by breaking in a window and opening the door for her. She rewards him by seducing him and the two predictably become frequent lovers. Doug hides the fact from everyone, including Carson. It doesn’t take long before Lena shows h bruises that she says were inflicted by Elliot. Doug tells her she needs to leave and she promises to talk to Elliot.
Things change one night when Lena calls Doug over to find Elliot sprawled on the floor, his head smashed in. Lena tells him that he attacked her when she asked for a divorce and began beating her, that she was simply defending herself. She then tells him that no one will believe her and asks him to help her get rid of the body. Ruled by hormones of course he helps.
Things take a turn for the worse (as if dead body disposal isn’t bad enough) when an insurance investigator arrives who insists on looking into all possibilities before handing over a payment in the millions to Lena. Clues begin to surface and soon Doug is looking at the possibility of being convicted of the murder of Elliot. Is it misfortune or was he set up? If you’ve seen half a dozen of these thrillers you saw this coming early on.
The film is well made, a quality production rather than a slapped together low budget flick. But the story feels more Lifetime channel movie than feature film. Jonas does a decent job in a role that has him portraying someone too blind to reality letting his late stage puberty do his thinking for him. His acting chops are stretched in no way to play this part. Lucas is an attractive lead who will go nowhere if she limits herself to roles where her exposed body parts are the only reason for getting a role. Mulroney seems to just walk through his part here and deserves better parts than this. Get a new agent Dermot! If those Lifetime movies entertain you then you’re certain to enjoy this one. If you’re a fan of Nick Jonas then you might be too young to watch certain aspects of this movie. Like most ex-Disney channel actors he seems to think a more «adult» role is the way to go. I tend to think taking acting lessons is a better route and accepting roles that require more than what is on display here would be a better method. But then I’m not a teen heartthrob with bopper fans clamoring for any and everything I am in. Not bad but nothing exciting either.

If you’re a juvenile looking for mild mental stimulation with one eye on another screen, it’s passable.
If you’re as old as I am then you’ll quickly suss this is a regurgitated plot based on the classic film ‘Body Heat’ (1981) with William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. I continued watching just to see how close to the wind they sailed. And yep, I suggest you cut your losses and immerse yourself in the original.
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.
Doug Martin is a local boy who gets attracted to Lena, the beautiful young woman who lived next door. Problem is she is married to a much older wealthy man who was shrouded in an aura of danger. Of course, his teenage hormones got the better of Doug when Lena encouraged his interest. But then, where there is an illicit affair, a violent payback will not be far behind.
This story has been told many times before. An young guy is seduced by a sexy married woman. This type of film is usually told from the woman’s point of view like the recent Jennifer Lopez film «The Boy Next Door», though the point of view is reversed in this one. It also brought back memories of «A Night in Heaven» and «Private Lessons» shown back in the early 1980s. IMDb lists down at least 40 films with this steamy plot, mostly trashy B-flicks. This just goes to show that films like this that deal with adolescent sexual temptation will always be there to appeal to the baser instincts of viewers.
Isabel Lucas seems too young to play the femme-fatale Lena. She looks great to look at, a true seductress, that is, when she is not talking. When there are lines to deliver though, her limited acting skills show. It seems she has not really improved her craft since her similarly wooden big screen debut in «Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen».
Dermot Mulroney, an all-around good guy in most of his old films, plays against type as Lena’s sinister husband. It was good to see Paul Sorvino as the local policeman. Too bad these two veteran actors were underused in their limited scenes.
This film is clearly a showcase for Nick Jonas to signal his foray into more mature film roles. Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, herself previously associated with teen-oriented films and TV shows like «Aquamarine» and «Gossip Girl», lovingly sets up her camera to capture her star Nick Jonas in his best angles, in various stages of undress for his teenage girl fans (old enough to watch R-rated films) to ogle at. To his credit, Jonas does register well on screen and he did do passably in the acting department.
Fresh from being slimed as emcee of the last Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Nick Jonas may find it hard to escape his teen idol image at first. Mark Wahlberg has proved that that curse could be overcome. As for Jonas though, that still remains to be seen. 4/10.
Writer Chris Frisina needs a breath of fresh air. This tired old story has few saving graces and Elizabeth Allen’s direction make the story plod even more slowly. Nick Jonas needs to discuss his movie choices more closely with his agent: films this sad won’t make a dent in his career if he intends to be taken seriously as an actor.
Briefly (the is so little story line hat a few words will suffice), Doug Martin (Nick Jonas – best when he take his shirt off) is living at the lake, bored, virginal, girl shy when an out of town couple decides to rent the house next door. The wife Lena is an anorexic appearing seductress (Isabel Lucas) married to an older wealthy investment banker Elliot (Dermot Mulroney) who abuses Lena under Doug’s watchful eye. Lena seduces Doug, Doug is controlled by his hormones on this first sexual adventure and under cover the two carry on a sordid affair. Elliot is away most of the time but on one visit home he ends up dead and the manner in which the incident happened and is covered and investigated by sheriff Jack (Lee Sorvino) and insurance investigator Angie (Kandyse McClure) results in a very predictable worn out ending.
This is one of those films that did poorly at the box office – understandably – and is something to wait to watch until it is free on late night television re-runs to act as a somnolent.
«Careful What You Wish For» is a fairly well-crafted thriller in the tradition of such neo-noir classics as «Body Heat.» Unfortunately, the film was slow-moving, and there was not much chemistry between the two lead performers.
Both Nick Jonas and Isabel Lucas were good in their roles of Doug and Lena. But the adulterous relationship that was at the heart of the film was never very credible, let alone sizzling. The Kathleen Turner-William Hurt relationship in «Body Heat» is a good barometer for the best in this style of filmmaking.
The best part of this film was the ending sequence that focused on a complicated scam pulled off by the femme fatale character Lena. Paul Sorvino is good as the local cop who recognizes the innocence of Doug.
But major loose ends abounded in the film, including the climactic scene in the Pines Motel. How did Doug know to go to that site for the incriminating evidence against Lena? How could Lena and her friend possibly escape from the authorities? And also, did Doug ever get to Columbia University, where had been accepted as a student? The viewer needed a better wrap-up in this average action pic.
First, let me tell you that wishing for this movie to be good will be of no avail. There’s no reason in hoping for a satisfying thriller like this one seems to claim, because doing so will only lead to a massive letdown.
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR’s biggest flaw is neither its premise nor its narrative. There’s a lot to negatively comment about those two areas, but they’re still much more tolerable than the movie’s horrible casting. None of the actors are able to serve the requirements of their roles, and while their characters hold promise of being interesting, none of the performers could actually pull them excellently, even to a tolerable level. Their dialogues and the overly familiar plot, are partly to blame, but it so difficult to jump to that part when the first thing that can be noticed is the horrible designation of the actors to roles utterly unsuited for them. There’s this evil psychopath named Elliot who never really brings as much threat as he is required. Letting Isabel Lucas play a role that doesn’t fit her age is perhaps the biggest mistake in the casting. Even with her capacity fully stretched, Lucas is never able to get halfway meeting all the demands of her character. Her character, Lena, is supposed to be a devious and cunning femme fatale, Isabel Lucas is plain boring. Almost the same can be said with Nick Jonas, although it’s really hard to say his role’s totally garbage, when almost half the time he’s confused and waiting for a good line to throw. If it’s any consolation, there’s a lot of skin shown here, and I’m pretty sure Nick’s fans as well as Isabel’s will be pleased. Other than that, there’s really nothing to expect.
It is really difficult to follow the narrative’s flow when all that worries you is whether the characters are still going to be something interesting or not. The plot isn’t new either, and it still could have been interesting, if the characters are played the way they’re supposed to be. These flaws accrue to an overall feeling that is neither good nor okay, much less satisfying. Albeit cliché, CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR could have been an enjoyable experience. There is so much to mine in its premise, but its terrible casting paralyzes the movie and made itself incapable of digging such potential. The result is an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction.
This is a sexy story with adultery, quite a bit of skin and murder. and it stars Nick Jonas! Yes, THAT Nick Jonas. of the squeaky clean Disney-fied Jonas Brothers! Talk about a major about face with his career! Only a few years ago, he and his brothers were singing to sold out stadiums of pre-teen and teen girls. now Nick is playing in a hard edged rated R film! My how times have changed, but the real question that needs answering is it any good? Well, it’s not at all bad but the film isn’t without a few problems here and there. The biggest one was casting. No, Jonas was actually pretty good. While he’s in his early 20s, he looks younger, so playing a character who is supposed to be 16-17 years- old worked. The problem instead was his co-star, Isabel Lucas. While her acting was quite good, the role should have been played by someone who seemed much older—perhaps a cougar in her 30s. However, Lucas looks to be about Jonas’ age and this makes the story a bit more difficult to believe.
It all begins at a lake in North Carolina. Having lived very, very close to where they actually filmed the movie, it appears to be around Lake Norman—a large lake north of Charlotte, North Carolina that is known for it’s expensive lakefront homes. The Martin’s are a nice and seemingly normal family and their son, Doug (Jonas) is anticipating going off to an excellent college soon. But in the meantime, it’s summer and he and his super-annoying friend (too annoying) are mostly concerned with scoring with the local girls. However, Doug is in for a huge surprise. His new rich neighbor has a very young and very desirable wife, Lena (Lucas). Why she would soon seduced Doug is a puzzler—and Doug is just young and stupid enough not to ask this as well. Soon, he and Lena are having an affair. Not too long after this he’s pulled into a conspiracy. one that might just get them sent to prison! What is the conspiracy? Well, think The Postman Always Rings Twice and you’ll have some idea what’s next. Fortunately, the film does have a few nice twists and turns, though none of it seemed all that surprising to me, as a gorgeous and rich woman like this MUST have some other hidden agenda. and my guess is that this is going to run through your mind as well as you watch. However, despite the plot being occasionally a bit easy to predict at times and the ending a bit too perfect, the acting and direction are very good and the film held my interest throughout.
This Jonas brother’s future looks pretty good after seeing this movie. Is he handsome leading man material? Perhaps, perhaps not. but he can act and was able to more than hold his own in the lead. His biggest problem for the future is his strength in this particular film—he just looks very, very young and I had some trouble seeing him in more adult roles. Time will tell.
Doug Martin (Nick Jonas) is a young man living at home with his parents who begins an affair with the wife of a wealthy man who moves in next door. As is quite often the case this affair doesn’t end well and Doug finds himself in the centre of a murder investigation.
The first half of this film is where it is at its strongest (and believe me I’m using that term loosely here). It sets up the usual story of bored housewife being married to a rich, but rather loathsome, abusive and self-centred husband with a burning desire to leave her loveless marriage. Doug is the excitement and fun that has been lacking in wife’s life hence the reason that she begins the affair. OK it isn’t great up till this point (a lot of the dialogue is dull and it lacks a single powerful or strong moment in its first half, but it does show promise and you feel as though it may slowly burn into something exciting, but you know what this simply doesn’t happen).
What really ruined this film for me was the decision to kill Lena’s husband off at the halfway point in the film. Prior to this, the build-up suggests a simmering tension building up and I was getting the feeling that Elliott would expose their romance and exact his own revenge (particularly as he was being built up as being some sort of psychopath that you shouldn’t mess with). What follows after his death is a rather tedious investigation into his death (which poor old Doug is in the frame for). Doug goes about trying to prove his innocence against impossible odds. Whilst none of this sounds bad when it’s put into writing the same cannot be said for the effect of all of this being put in front of me on the screen; aside from a clever twist at the end, the rest of the murder investigation is dull and uninteresting and quite frankly for the most part it’s a hard film to give a damn about.
It’s poor stuff especially considering it showed some promise in the first half. Personally, I would have preferred it if the trophy-wife’s husband had stuck around for longer as the idea of him finding out about the affair and hunting Doug down would have made for a much more exciting picture. As it is though, it is sexy (in a superficial way), but it’s also mind-numbingly dull.
‘Careful What You Wish For’ was never going to be an Oscar worthy, genre defining, boundary leaping film however for what it is trying to be, which is an easy going, enjoyable and suspenseful piece of drama, it does very well. The storyline and plot my perhaps leave something to be desired but having said that this viewer was taken for the ride with all the twists and turns that were thrown at the audience. For the most part the acting was strong, especially considering the calibre of the actors and the relatively little previous work they have done in the industry. My main criticism would be that there were moments where the focus seemed to be more on moving the plot forward without first establishing the necessary character development to make us fully care what happens to the characters.
Overall an enjoyable flick so long as you go into it expecting the next big thing, and don’t try and analyse every detail but just sit back, relax and don’t take it too seriously.
Careful What You Wish For is a good case study in the failings inherent in the Hollywood star system. The film is essentially star vehicle that is produced well but which fails to deliver anything substantial due to the lackluster performances of its leading actors around whom the film has been structured.
Nick Jonas plays Doug Martin, an adolescent without personality who falls for the gorgeous Lena Harper (Isabel Lucas), a married woman with a dark and devious plan to make big bucks fast. As a leading lady, Lucas does nothing more than showing us her very skinny body as she seduces her way into Jonas’ very silly heart.
The film, directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosen, is not essentially a bad product. Rosen’s direction is competent, the cinematography is pretty, editing is tight, the script holds up alright, and the production itself is of a good quality. There is a solid story arch that held my interest till the end. And it is a nice star vehicle for Lucas and Jonas. But the supposed stars have a very limited acting ability, even at the hands of a director who has a good grasp of her craft born from a long and stable career in television.
Unfortunately, all the potential of this film is lost through a leading couple who never quite arrive as the stars in the vehicle. Unless you are interested in learning from the mistakes made by Lucas and Jonas, you can safely give it a miss.
Direction: 6||Acting: 2||Cinematography: 7||Concept and delivery: 4|
The start of this film was slow but interesting. A bit weird in places morally. It was almost good but I just insanely hated the ending and some other parts as well.
Plot: The story of what most other reviewers are saying is copied, however I’ve never seen any movie with a plot like this so I am 100% unbiased and interested. This film starts off slow like a drama but is interesting. Then leads a bit darker and more of a thriller. However the ending was absolutely crap and after watching this slow paced film made me incredibly unsatisfied with what happened (no spoilers but its dumb)
Acting: The performances were okay, I really enjoyed the feeling of the town and people, it just seems real. I thought the blonde girl was a bit of a crap actor at stages which I think would be hard to do when she is just trying to act seductive the whole movie with some lines here and there.
Cinematography: The shots and overall flow wasnt bad. There isnt any CGI, just some special affects here and there which were a bit nesh in my opinion. There is also color symbolism and symbolism in general not that it helps the plot in any way.
Summary: So basically I wouldn’t recommend this. It was so close to being good and was getting there but the ending was so crap and felt so unfulfilling. There was other parts as well like things that didnt make sense, some boring scenes, slow plot etc.. but mainly the end ruined it for me.
This movie offers a chance for teen heartthrob Nick Jonas to show what he can do as an actor. In addition to that it allows him the chance to take off his shirt, a sight sure to please his fans. But as for bringing something new to the table in the way of movies it offers a tried and true formula rather than an inspired thriller. We’ve seen it before in one form or another and done better, so we know what to expect with each passing moment.
Jonas plays Doug Martin, the teen son of a well to do couple who are once more spending their summer vacation at their cabin on the lake. Along with his best friend Carson (Graham Rogers) he intends to work at the local seafood restaurant owned by Sheriff Big Jack (Paul Sorvino), study and perhaps find someone to hook up with. All of that changes when the new neighbors move in.
Watching from his bedroom window he is the first to see them, starting with the fetching Lena Harper (Isabel Lucas). Her husband Elliot (Dermot Mulroney) is a well to do self-made millionaire type, a cut throat at business and a natural competitor. The couple meet Doug and his family and soon become friendly enough.
One day in a rainstorm Doug sees Lena stuck outside of the house signaling him to come over. She has locked herself out of the house and needs to get inside. Doug helps by breaking in a window and opening the door for her. She rewards him by seducing him and the two predictably become frequent lovers. Doug hides the fact from everyone, including Carson. It doesn’t take long before Lena shows h bruises that she says were inflicted by Elliot. Doug tells her she needs to leave and she promises to talk to Elliot.
Things change one night when Lena calls Doug over to find Elliot sprawled on the floor, his head smashed in. Lena tells him that he attacked her when she asked for a divorce and began beating her, that she was simply defending herself. She then tells him that no one will believe her and asks him to help her get rid of the body. Ruled by hormones of course he helps.
Things take a turn for the worse (as if dead body disposal isn’t bad enough) when an insurance investigator arrives who insists on looking into all possibilities before handing over a payment in the millions to Lena. Clues begin to surface and soon Doug is looking at the possibility of being convicted of the murder of Elliot. Is it misfortune or was he set up? If you’ve seen half a dozen of these thrillers you saw this coming early on.
The film is well made, a quality production rather than a slapped together low budget flick. But the story feels more Lifetime channel movie than feature film. Jonas does a decent job in a role that has him portraying someone too blind to reality letting his late stage puberty do his thinking for him. His acting chops are stretched in no way to play this part. Lucas is an attractive lead who will go nowhere if she limits herself to roles where her exposed body parts are the only reason for getting a role. Mulroney seems to just walk through his part here and deserves better parts than this. Get a new agent Dermot! If those Lifetime movies entertain you then you’re certain to enjoy this one. If you’re a fan of Nick Jonas then you might be too young to watch certain aspects of this movie. Like most ex-Disney channel actors he seems to think a more «adult» role is the way to go. I tend to think taking acting lessons is a better route and accepting roles that require more than what is on display here would be a better method. But then I’m not a teen heartthrob with bopper fans clamoring for any and everything I am in. Not bad but nothing exciting either.
