Murray is a male fairy godmother, and he is trying to help 8-year-old Anabel to fulfil her "simple wish" - that her father Oliver, who is a cab driver, would win the leading role in a Broadway musical. Unfortunately, Murray's magic wand is broken and the fairies convention is threatened by evil witches Claudia and Boots.

Claudia is a diva and no one could tell me otherwise
This day will never be forgotten by these two, Anabel and Charlie. That’s what makes this even more special, a day they lived together and learned that love could make magic too

“Extra extra! Fifty foot Rabbi terrorizes Nebraska!”

Martin short does physical comedy like Charlie Chaplin and Amanda Plummer was born to play a dog.
