But soon, their wishes turn into their worst nightmares: Alex's roommate, who wished to look less ordinary, is disfigured in an accident. show more Another girl who wished to shed a few pounds can't stop losing weight. As her friends face the consequences of their wishes, Alex suspects that her fears about the Wizard are becoming a reality.

This one was fun! The old Wizard reminds me of the fortune teller machine from that movie BIG with Tom Hanks.
Alex doesn't like the Wizard machine at Vinnie's restaurant with its icy blue cold stare. Her friends had all wished on it and in a twisted way, they'd been granted. How?!
