In The Wizard, the Wood's family is extremely messed up. So, I'll start it at the beginning. Sam and his 1st wife (Her name was never mentioned in the whole movie. I guess they figured that a woman with no name makes the movie that much more mysterious?) had Nick. Nick grew up to be a pain in the butt. Then Corey came along and finally spiced up the home life. But just as the hijinks really started kicking off, Woman No. 1 croaks. But, Christine fulfilled Sam's racy lifestyle (Fastfood in the fast lane! WHOOOOO-EEEEE!), and they had twins, Jimmy and Jennifer. Nick didn't really feel attached to the twins, so while he should have been watching the kids near the river, he left, probably because he wanted to go to the Dairy Queen or something. Whaddya' know, Jennifer drowns undramatically in the river, with Jimmy (Who can't swim) only a few feet in front of her. Jimmy is now traumatized. Christine and Sam divorce, realizing that her little people cannot interact with his little people. Christine meets Bateman, who's as inspiring as a used car salesman with frequent cases of hemmoroids. So Christine and Sam split the kids up, with C-Babe taking Jimmy, and Sam-bo taking Nick and Corey.
