Genre: Comedy
Director: Bob Gale
Cast: James Marsden, Gary Oldman, Amy Smart, Kurt Russell, Michael J. Fox, Chris Cooper, Christopher Lloyd, Paul Brogren, Wayne Robson, Melyssa Ade, John Bourgeois, Michael Rhoades, Matthew Edison, Ann-Margret, Amy Stewart
Neal (James Marsden) isn't sure he wants to follow in his lawyer father's footsteps. Rather, he is considering art. Not only that, he routinely dreams of a girl (Amy Smart) who encourages him to pursue art. His decision is aided when immortal One Wish Grant (Gary Oldman) grants him a wish–but Neal must travel on non-existent Interstate 60 to a nonexistent town. On the way, he sees his dream girl on billboards encouraging him on, and he has other adventures as well. What will be the outcome? If this sounds a little like "Back to the Future," it is because Director Bob Gale was the creator and screenwriter for that series, and this is his first directorial effort.
