What's The Story
"Be careful what you wish for" takes on a very real meaning when an 11-year-old Toe Thompson gets hit on the head by a mysterious, rainbow-colored rock. He soon discovers that the rock will grant his wishes, but this seeming dream come true results in chaos. Kids and adults alike will do almost anything to get their hands on the stone, and some of the wishes themselves have rather unexpected results. Toe has to find a way to return the town to its senses before everything falls apart!
Three Good Reasons
- 1Robert Rodriguez of the Spy Kids trilogy knows how to bring children's most outrageous fantasies to life on the big screen.
- 2While kids enjoy the plot, adults will appreciate the cast, which includes Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), William H. Macy (Fargo), and Leslie Mann (all of Judd Apatow's movies).
- 3Because you've always wanted to see a giant booger or an army of crocodiles.
Bet You Didn't Know
Jimmy Bennett, who plays Toe Thompson, will be appearing in three of big movies this summer:
Shorts,
Star Trek, and
Orphan. Plus he has two more flicks slated for release this year. Not bad for a guy who just turned 10 years old.
