Melissa McCarthy and Paapa Essiedu star in 'Love Actually' writer-director Richard Curtis' latest holiday comedy titled 'Genie.'

The trailer is filled with Curtis’ signature feel-good, witty banter and sparkly shots of Christmas tinsel in the background. Flora literally poofs into Bernard’s life when he needs it the most — he’s missed his daughter’s birthday, his wife has left him, and his boss has given him the boot. After dusting off a jewelry box, Flora enters his life and informs him that the best genies grant unlimited wishes , which leads to an on-demand camel, pizza, and Mona Lisa painting.

Flora, on the other hand, has been trapped in that box for longer than she realized — thousands of years and long enough to remember Jesus as “Mary’s kid.” As the two embark on a journey of what is no doubt Curtis’ quirky and beloved formula of self-discovery and chaos, the pair seem poised to discover the true meaning of the holiday., and is directed by Sam Boyd. Alan Cumming, Denée Benton, Luis Guzmán, Marc Maron, Jordyn McIntosh, Tate Ellington, and LaChanze also star in the film.

“I think I was behind, you know, behind the curve, and those jokes aren’t any longer funny,” he said. “So I don’t feel I was malicious at the time, but I think I was unobservant and not as, you know, as clever as I should have been.
