Based on the best-selling children's book, this engrossing family fantasy-adventure stars Michael Caine, Russell Brand, Matthew Goode, and Paula Patton. On a seaside holiday, four kids from a mixed family visit the beach, where they discover a floppy-eared creature that grants their wishes. But there's a catch: the kids' adventures in rock-climbing, pop stardom, and flying end promptly at sunset-leaving them in danger each time. Can they learn to control the magic before something dreadful happens?
