We found this on Tubi and I was all set to turn this off half way, but since my wife insisted on watching it to the bitter end, even though she was disappointed in it, I might as well write this review to offset the positive reviews. I get that this is fairly low budget and everyone in it tried hard; but still, I warn you, it's just not interesting enough to be worth it.

The idea is nice enough: Sophie wants to ask her best friend Aaron to the school dance, but one of the mean girl trio (why are mean girls always in groups of three?) has asked him instead. Meanwhile her grandma has given her this magic car (why do teenagers get given cars for their birthdays?), and she ends up wishing famous teen actor "Drake" into her car, and gets to take him to the dance.

So what SHOULD have happened were funny moments hiding Drake, and some sort of reconciliation with Aaron. Instead... it goes all strange. Drake has a dorky cheeriness, which provides most of the movie's few good moments. But Sophie insists on being negative to everyone; which not only saps out the humour, but makes it hard to like her and so also hard to like the movie.

Eventually she asks her grandma why the car is magic, and this is where the movie really goes off the rails, with grandma going off on a rambling story which almost sent me to sleep. I won't spoil the ending, other than to say it is a letdown. Not because everyone doesn't end up happy, but because the resolution comes from nowhere.
