Twelve-year-old Josh Baskin (David Moscow) is embarrassed in front of his crush, Cynthia Benson, when a carnival worker declares him too short to ride the Super Loops ride. Dejected, he shares his greatest wish—to be big—with Zoltar, a mechanical fortune teller. By the next morning, he finds that he’s been miraculously and awkwardly transformed into a 30-year-old version of himself (Tom Hanks). The only person who believes what has happened is his best friend, Billy (Jaren Rushton). Together, they navigate how to live in the world of adults—which to them include unlimited free soda, pinball machines, and indoor skateboarding—until they can track down Zoltar to reverse the spell.
