Synopsis
After Bernard (Paapa Essiedu) forgets the birthday of his daughter Eve (Jordyn McIntosh) because of his overwhelming work schedule, his wife Julie (Denée Benton) decides she wants a trial separation, shortly before Bernard’s awful boss (Alan Cumming) fires him. Finding himself desolate and alone, Bernard dusts off an old jewellery box and accidentally unleashes a genie called Flora (Melissa McCarthy), who might be his only hope to win back his family.
