Plot: When a mysterious wishing rock turns up in a small town it constantly falls into the wrong hands. What is told in a series of short stories that all fall into place creating one larger story. Told through the eyes of Toby (Bennett) who learns the value of friendship and working together.
Verdict: A good family film
Story: With moral messages coming from every angle we end up seeing how everyone should treat each other and learn not just to wish quick fixes. Each story is short enough to be entertaining and will really appeal to a younger audience. (7/10)
Actor Review: Jimmy Bennett – Toby tells the stories as well as getting bullied in school and being a loner. It is a good performance from the young man should be a stepping stone to a bright future. (7/10)
