Genie, now streaming on Peacock, sees a supernatural Melissa McCarthy granting Christmas wishes to Paapa Essiedu's Bernard. Directed by Sam Boyd from a screenplay by Richard Curtis, the movie co-stars Alan Cumming, Luis Guzmán, Denée Benton, and Jordyn McIntosh. Bernard, who is on the verge of losing his family and job, seeks help from an unexpected magical source in ways very different from the usual be-careful-what-you-wish-for stories.
