Andre Gonzales

Love this movie growing up. Everytime I went to a fair I was always hoping to find a machine like this. Still one of my favorite movies of all time....

Oh, if only I was still young enough to wish I was older! That’s the problem facing the young “Josh” (David Moscow) who just wants to get all the school and puberty malarkey over and done with. Well a strange looking slot machine called “Zoltar” offers him a wish in return for his quarter. Of course...
