A nerd gets three wishes and he uses 2 of them to get a girl to like him. One wish was understandable, she's a gorgeous blonde. But he could've used his other wishes to end famine or for world peace or to give everybody in the world perfect health. But no the nerd has to be self-centered and think small and only care about himself.
Austin Pendleton, the world's weirdest actor, gets to ham it up as a crazy teacher who continues to teach even though he is rich (at least he used one wish smartly) and wants to kill his students for some ridiculous reason. Having a guy who looks like Robin Gibb play the bad guy inspires more laughter than terror. At the end the nerd remembers he has one more wish and could've used it to make the teacher die but then we wouldn't have a long drawn out cliched horror movie ending.
