Movie Review: ***Three Wishes

This is a 1995 Patrick Swayze movie in which Swayze plays a transient, Jack McLeod, whose leg is broke when he is hit in a car accident by a mother (Mary Elizabeth Manstrantonio) who has two children.  They subsequently take him in while he heals, and this is the story of the effects he has on the family.  The father of the family is a pilot who was shot down in the Korean War and listed as missing.  Consequently, the boys have a "less than" feeling being with out a father.  The oldest son is usually picked last at baseball, and his team is really poor; while the younger son has excessive fear of the night.  The story tells how they are both able to overcome these problems.  They have some ides, that he is an angel and can grant wishes.  The oldest son, Tom, won't tell his wish, so McCloud says he will choose one for him.  Tom doesn't want him to leave, but he does all the same, and on just about the same day, father comes home having been released by the Koreans.  Many years later, when Tom is a father, and facing financial issues, and not enjoying his family vacation as a result, he confronts McCloud again, who hasn't aged, and McCloud says he got it wrong, the wish wasn't for his father to return, but that he would be happy with his blessings in life.
I just admit, I wasn't into this movie that much.  If you want to see Swayze, "Ghost" is a better choice.
