Movie of the Week Reminder: Genie

Posted in Movies, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on November 18, 2023| Leave a Comment »

The Peacock original movie Genie will debut online on November 22.

The movie tells the story of Bernard (Paapa Essiedu), a man whose life is falling apart, who forges a friendship with a genie named Flora (Melissa McCarthy) that is more than he could ever wish for. Consumed by work, Bernard loses his connection with his wife Julie and their daughter Eve. When he misses Eve’s birthday and gets fired by his boss, Julie calls for a trial separation.

Alone in his New York City apartment, Bernard stumbles upon a mysterious jewelry box that has entrapped Flora the genie for a long 2,000 years. Flora is used to granting wishes of gold doubloons and hot babes to the greedy men who’ve found her jewelry box over the years, but Bernard is different. Flora might be Bernard’s last hope of getting his family back, but even with her magic, it’s a long shot. In the process, Flora and Bernard discover that love, and an unexpected friendship, can unleash a special holiday magic all its own.

The cast includes Alan Cumming, Marc Maron, Luis Guzmán, Tate Ellington and Tony winner LaChanze.

Here is a trailer for Genie:

The Disney movie The Naughty Nine will debut on November 22 at 8 PM.

The movie follows 5th grader Andy (Winslow Fegley), who has been a bit of a troublemaker this year. When Christmas morning rolls around and Andy gets stiffed by Santa (Danny Glover), he realizes he’s on the “naughty list.” Feeling unfairly maligned, Andy pulls together a crack team of fellow “naughty listers” to execute an elaborate heist to get the presents he and the others feel they deserve.

The determined ensemble includes Dulce (Camila Rodriguez), Andy’s best friend and archery expert; North Pole conspiracy theorist Lewis (Anthony John Joo); daredevil “wheel woman” Ha-Yoon (Imogen Cohen); animal whisperer Rose (Clara Stack); master-of-disguise Jon Anthony (Deric McCabe); adorable charmer Albert (Ayden Elijah); and Andy’s older sister, Laurel (Madilyn Kellam), a talented gymnast seeking to regain her confidence. Andy also enlists the help of Bruno (Derek Theler), a disgruntled cargo pilot who claims to have witnessed Santa’s sleigh. However, in the process of finding their gifts, the gang begins to realize that Christmas is more about giving than taking.
