Tom Hanks stars in this fantasy/comedy directed by Penny Marshall about a young boy who makes a magic wish and wakes up looking like Tom Hanks. Be careful of what you ask of a mechanical carnival genie. From 12 to 35 overnight, Josh Baskin now gets to play in the adult world and does pretty good for someone without a high school diploma. With Elizabeth Perkins, John Heard and Robert Loggia.
