A frustrated student in his room struggles to complete his homework. He finds The Book of Wishes - wishes for a "homework machine". But, how does this affect his life? The Book of Wishes offers a rendition of a classic message. We wish for things and, when granted, we find out the price of that wish turns out not to be so good. When viewers see what happens to Jeff when he wishes for a homework machine, it may lead them to re-think their own wishes. Very watchable, and creates a curiosity where you want to find out what happens.
Jeff finds a book that will grant all his wishes. But sometimes, what you want isn't all that good for you.
You too can become a film critic!
