Abby's whole struggle is that she's a mid-middle class girl who actually wants an upper middle class lifestyle. There's a reason why this movie bothered when I was a kid.

[@LudmilaRamirez7]

The biggest mistake was that they tried to show how sad its actually adult life and how she should aprecciate her 16s, so the mother fairy gave her a house and a car, but in the real life when you're 21-22 you are broken, you still live with ur parents and depressed (based on a real experience, im 24yo, still at the same point)

[@alyalvarado1667]

I think she just means because in America "16" has very little significance, so she just means that the American birthday mile marks are weird, not that all of them are (because like she also mentioned 21 makes more sense). Quinceaneras have a lot of cultural and religious significance behind it, while 16 doesn't at all, and even 18 only has a little significance but not a lot.

Bro I remember watching this as a kid and thinking “I hope I don’t be like her at 16” she was so ungrateful and I enjoyed how everyone was happy without Abby thinking the world was around her 24/7

[@taylornoren642]

Watching the movie again you realize this is why she only has 1 friend

[@lucasray1210]

I love you immediately going "but what if they were...girlfriends? 💕" bc that's my thought process at all times "make it gay" and everyone irl gets annoyed when I say it all the time at movies shhdhdhjsjs

I was just thinking about how crazy 16 Wishes was this morning. They really had us believing that high school students were being kicked out of *prom dress* stores based on the whims of other high school students, and that once you turn 21 the dress store will decide that you are too old and too fat for a formal dress and make you wear a skirt suit instead. I’m twenty now and I honestly feel a little angry about this movie’s existence.

I think Radio Rebel was Debby Ryan’s most ICONIC role

[@fesique]

You’re so right about movies making a big deal about turning 16. Like it’s no different from 15 besides getting your license

[@DrawciaGleam02]

So 16th birthday is overhyped like prom???

9:48 Love it when Disney takes an important part of an ethnic culture, whitewashes and ruins it while simultaneously stereotyping and making fun of it. Judging from the shitty "Punjabi" music and the HORRENDOUS attempt at Bhanghra, some white guy on the crew had probably seen it and randomly decided to add it in for no reason. Literally is so out of place in that scene, really feels like it was put there for no other reason than to mock

[@oopsy-daisy]

TO EVEN THINK THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART WHEN I WAS YOUNGER LMAO I FEEL SO BAD NOW

[@shubbadubba]

@@oopsy-daisy No, don't feel bad about it. I understand that not everyone knows about the culture. I'm sure I've enjoyed lots of media that wasn't actually so great when you look at it deeper. I'm just glad that you now know about it.

[@joe6185]

Literally ikr I was like "wait... so her rivals back story is that... the MAIN CHARACTER stole her best friend and then they fought until high school??" Like YEAH thats a crazy thing to do wth

[@romantic_hippie]

A sweet 16 is based off the tradition of a debutante ball. You make your debute into society as an eligible woman for marriage. That's why it's a tradition in a lot of cultures. it's kind of outdated to do nowadays because women are self sufficient now, but it used to actually have a purpose.

First she is very mean and especially to her parents. Who acts like that? Second that gum 🤢🤢🤢 and third I love this movie. It was my childhood.

[@medb6503]

Abby is the type to play oppression olympics when her biggest trauma is having acne in high school.

[@auroradazed]

i see so many movie commentary youtubers say "why do they always cast people over 18 to play teenage roles" and im gonna answer that question here because i really feel like nobody gives a good explanation. i was a child and teen actress, i studied acting on and off for 10 years, worked with a lot of agents and coaches for both theatre and film. and they would always tell me "it'll get even better for you when you turn 18," because there are laws that prohibit the amount of hours a minor can work. those laws must still be followed in the film industry. meaning child actors, or even teenage actors, can only work a maximum of around 48 hours a week, which is 8 hours a day. filming hours in a day can be around 12-18, which is obviously almost double the 8 hours that a minor is allowed to work. this cuts back *a* *lot* of production time. this is why most child actors are in shows with much shorter episodes, and if they're in shows with longer episodes, it usually makes production a much longer process, which takes more money. time is money in the film industry, and *this* is the reason most producers, casting directors and so on will choose people who are over 18 to play younger roles, if they can, because it costs them less time and less money to deal with. it's just the easier decision, legally.

7:38 the closet scene WAS ICONIC. I was like every 5m opening my closet actually thinking clothes we’re gonna magically appear.

[@hannaajoiytc]

the enemies to lovers plot BREWING at 8:30

[@angelaornelas4568]

This whole time I couldn’t stop thinking about how she’s married to Josh Dun from Twenty-One Pilots now

[@MissVanessaJune]

I was like 1-2 years behind Debbie Ryan trend on Disney and I’m glad I was 😅

[@xqueenofcats]

I love how Trin just turn every enemies girls into a lesbian couple and I’m all for it

[@samcarmen]

"very very forgotten disney movie" i could never forget 16 wishes even if i wanted to. it was so bad, it's burned a whole in my mind

[@EJmariposa]

I’m pretty sure a Sweet 16 is originated from the coming out parties young girls had a long time ago. Like when young girls would become members of society and start looking for eligible husbands (I may be completely wrong so don’t hold me to that)
