- Synopsis
- On his 11th birthday, magic-loving Drew (Liam Kelman) gets the surprise of his life when his mom brings home an adorable puppy. Little does Drew and his sister Emma (Riley Jackson) know that an even bigger surprise is right around the corner when the puppy unearths a real Aladdin-type magic lamp housing two boisterous, bickering, genie brothers – Moe and Joe (Kevin and John Farley) - who act more like over-grown children than the grown ups they are. After Drew inadvertently rubs the lamp while wiping the dirt off of it, he wishes that his puppy was really magical and Genie Joe ends up released from the lamp and trapped inside of his puppy. And when Drew’s birthday wish later that night is granted, the puppy suddenly becomes full grown (played by America's Got Talent's super-dog, Hero)! Being stuck in a dog makes Genie Joe’s wish-granting abilities extremely unreliable, and his attempts to grant wishes for Drew end up in hilarious – and inconvenient - blunders. Meanwhile, Genie Moe, still stuck in the lamp, falls into the hands of Drew’s “frienemy” brothers Ryder (Hunter Payton) and Lucas (Brady Bond), who believe that the lamp is the “secret magic trick” that Drew has been working on for a talent show. When they take the lamp to Wendell (Jake Paul), a goofy magic shop owner, Wendell unwittingly releases Genie Moe and the group, including ditzy dog-walker Jeannie (Laura Marano), are all catapulted into a chaotic, fun adventure full of magic, mischief and mayhem.
