The Third Wish is a 2005 romance comedy film directed by Shelly Jensen. Maggie Malone played by Jenna Mattison works in a used bookstore with Lettie, played by Betty White. Maggie is a young girl who usually goes to work, comes home, feeds her cat, and works on the book she is writing. Her life is pretty much the same everyday and she doesn’t really date much. Her mother died when she was four and her father left her.

One day at work she noticed a silver pot on a table. It made her think about rubbing it and making a wish. She thought about it, and then laughed it off.

The next day, an elderly man came into the store and brought a book to her but it didn’t have a price. While she was looking, the man slipped out the front door. Puzzled, she looked at the book, which was a first edition of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. When she opened it, she found a ticket to a magic show.

Back at work she comes across the book again, and finds yet another ticket, but this time it’s for an airplane ride to fly around the city. When she returns to work she excitedly looks for the book but finds out that someone had bought it.

Disappointed about the book, a man named Brandon, played by Sean Maguire, comes into the store and tells her that he is legal council for her benefactor, played by Armand Assante, and has left her money. He advises her she can keep the money and have anything she wants, as long as she never finds out his identity. She thinks he’s crazy.

Over a period of time he begins to show her that what he told her is really true, and she begins to fall for the young lawyer. But curiosity keeps her wondering, and wanting to know, who could possibly be the mysterious benefactor.
