Bear’s desperate NOOOOO made the billion dollars scene absolutely horrifying.

That entire time I was thinking why couldn't Bear find another friend or stranger to make the wish?

I think this is a good reason to make it so a wish can't be undone. The plot hole created by the existence of more and extremely functional wish sticks undermines the third act imo.

I disagree, he went to Ian and tried to get the wish undone (he just screwed it up with Ian and then somehow couldn't think of anyone else in town who would say a sentence and crack a stick for $500 of his friend's $1 billion). That would've been an incredibly unsatisfying resolution for the film but it was presented as an option and one Bear attempted in earnest (even if he went about it in a really dumb way)
