37. Wishful Thinking

1997 Drew Barrymore is a very fun Drew Barrymore. This is from the era where Drew Barrymore was going on late night shows and showing her breasts. Does that sound crazy to you or unbelievable to you? Look up her David Letterman interview where she jumps on his desk and flashes him. It's a completely unhinged moment of pure late night craziness. That's what Hollywood will do to you, and when you need money to feed your drug habit, you take on movies that aren't so good.

'Wishful Thinking' is a 90s romantic comedy, but also sort of a drama? It focuses on three different viewpoints of the story, and maybe once or twice something funny happens. At least we get peak sexy Drew Barrymore in this movie. That's another reason to check out that David Letterman interview.
