Plot

The movie begins with two college kids in a bar, one telling the other his thesis statement for an upcoming paper. That being that America is unique in that it has no real mythological character for granting wishes. The Irish have leprechauns, the Arabians genies, but America doesn't. He is soon countered by an old man at the bar claiming that America does, and that wish granter is named O.W. Grant, the son of a leprechaun and an American immigrant. He soon see O.W. Grant (Oldman) riding down the street on a bicycle, smoking a pipe in the shape of a monkey-head. A man busy talking on a cell phone (Fox) doesn't see him and opens his door, slamming into Grant. Grant's bicycle is totaled, and the man's cell phone and suit are ruined. The man apologizes but starts screaming and yelling about how aweful his day has been. Grant, seemingly amused, asks him if he wished the day would start over. The man screams a confirmation. Green smoke billows from Grant's pipe and the scene begins again. This time, Grant safely avoids the car door, and the man steps out of his car, unaware of anything different, he then turns around and is hit by a car.

Neal Oliver (Marsden) is a young man who works at a grocery store at night on the stocking crew. He has rich family, his dad's a lawyer, but mainly works there to annoy his father. He wants to become an artist but doesn't have enough faith in his work, and his girlfriend is a psychology major that keeps analyzing him. He is also having dreams about a girl, whom he keeps drawing and painting. It is his birthday and his family is gathered in a restaurant to celebrate. Among the gifts and smiles, we see O.W. Grant is dressed as a waiter, and is serving them their cake. Neal blows out the candles and tells everyone that he wished for an answer to his life. Whether or not he wants to become an artist and submit his work into a competition coming up, or whether he wants to go to law school as his dad requests. Grant is intrigued by this declaration. As the family goes outside to look at the car that Neal's dad bought him, a bucket falls onto Neal's head, sending him to the hospital. In the hospital, a doctor named Ray (Lloyd) comes in and does a quick sight test with Neal using playing cards. He holds them up quickly and Neal has to guess what it is. At the end of the test, Neal confidently asks if he got it right, at which Ray replies that he didn't. The cards are actually red spades and clubs and black hearts and diamonds. He then talks about the relevance of what you can see and what you can't. He leaves and another doctor comes in confirming that they don't have a doctor named Ray on their staff.
