A dog (Hero) is chased down the street by several children. The dog believes he is in the middle of a calamity. Genie Joe (Kevin P. Farley) decides to tell the story from the beginning.Brothers Genie Moe (John Farley) and Genie Joe Genie have been cooped up inside a lamp for over 347 years. Moe is five wishes away from his planned retirement in Cabo. Joe enjoys granting wishes and has no plans to retire. The brothers begin to argue and their disagreement explodes into a pillow fight.Meanwhile Benji Becker (Nick Fisher) is reading a comic book when his brother Drew Becker (Liam Kelman) attempts to order him to help rehearse his magic act. Their older sister Emma Becker (Riley Jackson) is nearby recording their disagreement to show their mother. Upset with the lack ofcooperation from his brother, Drew decides to split their bedroom marking it off with a roll of tape. Coincidently, Moe and Joe are doing the same thing inside their bottle.

The kids are in the kitchen waiting for their mother to return from grocery shopping. Benji is trying to convince Emma to allow him to have a cookie just before their mother Melanie (Elisa Eliot) returns. The kids are suspicious that Melanie did more than grocery shop having been gone three hours. Melanie admits she made another stop and decides to give Drew his birthday present immediately. She reveals a new puppy. Emma is immediately envious. Melanie than reveals that she invited Drew's former friend Lucas (Brady Bond), his brother Ryder (Hunter Payton) and his dad Paul Martin (Brent Huff) over for dinner that evening for Drew's birthday party. Emma believes her mother is using Drew's birthday as just another reason to see Lucas's father. Melanie suggests Drew and Emma take the new dogs for a walk while she prepares for the party.

Outside, Emma and Drew's neighbor Mrs. Crabtree (Shelia Oaks) is less than thrilled her neighbors have a dog believing it will dig up her flowers. Just then Jeanie (Laura Marano), Mrs. Crabtree's granddaughter, pulls up in a convertible van. Jeanie has failed to gain acceptance to beauty school but continues to advertise her makeover and hairstyling business. Inspired by the new puppy, Jeanie adds pet grooming to the advertising sign on her van.

Inside the lamp, Moe is annoyed at the noise Joe is making while playing a video game. He pulls the plug on the TV which is on his side of the line in the floor.

In the park, Drew is a bit disappointed that the puppy does not respond to his commands and will not be able to be his magician's assistant for his upcoming talent show. Emma asks Drew what he intends to name the puppy, offering several puny suggestions. Drew decides to name the dog Magic. Magic begins digging in the ground. It rocks the brother's lamp and Moe's magic wish vial slides to Joe's side of the lamp. The genies are both excited the lamp has been discovered but without the vial, Moe can only grant three wishes and will not be able to retire. Still feuding, Joe refuses to return the vial to Moe. Emma and Drew recover the lamp from the ground. As Drew cleans the lamp, Drew wishes that little Magic was really magical. Genie Joe is sucked out of the lamp and becomes Magic's persona.

At the party. Lucas's father Paul Martin has brought another guest, a boy named Oliver (Merrick Hanna) who is staying with Lucas and his family while his parents are out of town. Lucas and his older brother Ryder tease Lucas about being wimpy. The conversation steers toward the upcoming talent show. Oliver declares that he has created an act that has nothing to do with magic. Lucas, formerly Drew's assistant, declares at dinner that he is performing his own magic act for the talent show. Lucas excuses himself to get more water and brings Oliver along to go to the kitchen. There the boys discover the lamp in Drew's backpack. Lucas believes it is part of Drew's top secret magic trick. Despite Oliver's protests, Lucas decides to steal the lamp. Then he squashes Drew's magic hat themed birthday cake and puts frosting on Magic so the dog will be blamed for the incident. At cake time, Melanie discovers the smashed cake and blames Benji, but Benji has never left the table. The new puppy immerges from the kitchen and Lucas points out that Magic who is covered with frosting.

That night, Emma explains to Drew that Magic is a puppy and did not know any better than to ruin the cake. Melanie brings in a piece of cake she salvaged for Drew. She lights two candles on the cake after Emma suggests Drew make a birthday wish at 11:11 on his 11th birthday. As Drew blows out the candles, he wishes that Magic was as big as Lucas's German Sheppard Bruiser so he would never be bullied again.

By the next morning Magic has transformed into a full- grown collie. Drew is beside himself and also hears the dog talking. Drew slaps himself in the face to assure himself he is awake and then calls out to his sister Emma. When Emma arrives in Drew's room, Joseph the Jovial Genie introduces himself and explains how with Drew finding the lamp and wishing Magic was actually magical put Joe inside the dog. Drew's later wish that Magic was as big as Bruiser created the current situation. Emma is skeptical that Joe is a Genie. Joe tells the Emma and Drew that he can only grant wishes for Drew since he was the one who rubbed the lamp. Drew wishes for Mr. Majesta's Extra Large Magic Box. Immediately, an empty suitcase appears. Joe explains that being inside a dog, he cannot snap his fingers and his magic is off.The kids are called to breakfast.

Wendell tries to impress his customers with a floppy magic wand and by making flowers appear but largely fails.

At the Becker home, Joe explains that Drew cannot wish him out of the dog, because genies cannot grant wishes for themselves. Drew will have to rub the lamp again to draw Joe out of the dog. Drew then discovers the lamp is missing from his backpack. Emma theorizes that the lamp fell out on their walk home from the park. Magic does tricks as Joe is excited inside that he will soon be free. Just then, Melanie announces her exercise session is complete and the kids scurry out of the kitchen with Magic so she does not discover the dog's changes.

Emma, Drew and Magic arrive in the park where the lamp was uncovered. Joe explains that he shared the lamp with his brother and they did not part on the best of terms. Just then, Lucas, Ryder and Oliver are walking Bruiser. To avoid Magic's change in size being discovered, Drew wishes that Magic had a disguise. Magic is suddenly inside a baby carriage. Drew and Emma cover Magic with blankets. Emma explains that she is stuck babysitting that day. Ryder says that next time Emma and Drew should bring their puppy along so that Bruiser can have a snack.

Melanie explains that she is going to teach her aerobics class before she goes to spend time with Paul. The kids are left to babysit Benji and serve him his lunch. Emma gives Joe dogfood for lunch which Joe finds unappetizing. Joe begins a frantic search of the kitchen for something more to his liking knocking produce and kitchen utensils all over the floor.

Lucas gets a call from Wendell asking g him to come to the magic shop. As Emma, Drew and Benji walk to Lucas's home they encounter Lucas, Oliver and Ryder. When Drew demands return of the lamp, a fight ensues. Ryder immobilizes Drew for Lucas to slug, but Lucas runs away.

Oliver apologizes to Emma and Drew while recovering from Benji's sugar fueled punch. Oliver reveals that the boys took the missing lamp to Wendell at the magic shop.. Magic returns after tying Ryder to a tree and placing his skateboard in the branches above. Magic is revealed to Oliver as a large, talking dog.

Emma, Oliver, Drew, Benji and Magic arrive at the magic shop. Wendell realizes these are not the kids who brought in the lamp, but Moe wants to determine whether Joe is with them. As Wendell distracts the kids with an ill-performed magic trick, Joe sniffs out Moe. Moe is still furious with Joe for taking his wish vial and vows to return Joe to the lamp. Magic runs off with the kids trailing behind. Moe tells Wendell he can receive infinite wishes if he is able to capture the dog which confuses Wendell. A frenzied chase ensues as Joe leads the kids down the street, through an optician's storefront, across

the park to a playground where Magic takes them up and down a slide and Magic makes a basket with his nose on the basketball court. They all finally find an empty storage room in a park shelter to hide in.

Safe inside, Joe explains he ran when he saw his brother. Joe tells the kids his brother is mad because he took Moe's wish granting abilities with him when he ended up inside Magic and Moe intends to keep Joe inside the lamp forever. Joe says his wish granting ability is often misdirected and perhaps accepting his fate is for the best. Drew and the kids tell Joe not to give up and that magic is about the impossible becoming possible. They resolve to get back the lamp in order to make the situation right.

As the kids, leave the storage room, they are observed by Wendell and Moe who quickly follow. The chase is on again across the park where Magic navigates some dog obstacles including a tube and a ramp, jumps rope with a young woman and leads the pack through a child's birthday party.

Benji declares it as the best day ever. Moe and Wendell stop to rest on a park bench. Wendell again needs Moe's encouragement of infinite wishes to continue the pursuit of the dog. Wendell wishes for a cold drink, using up his second of three wishes. As Wendell enjoys a lemonade, Moe spots Magic's tail around the corner. Wendell and Moe lure Magic away from the kids with a trail of cheese balls until Wendell can snatch the dog's harness. Moe has Wendell rub the lamp to send Moe back inside so he does not have to walk back to the magic shop. Lucas observes Moe disappearing into the lamp.

Emma, Oliver, Drew and Benji begin searching for their dog. On her way home, Melanie runs into Jeanie walking dogs. Jeanie thinks she sees Magic being carried by Wendell, but Melanie does not recognize Magic in his new large size. Oliver practices break dancing while searching for Magic. Emma catches him in the act that was supposed to impress her. Lucas rescues Ryder from being tied to the tree.

Lucas explains to Ryder that he believes the lamp is a real magic lamp with a genie which explains all the strange things he has seen and heard. Ryder us skeptical but eager to get his hands on the lamp. A remorseful Lucas wants to warn Drew that he and his dog might be in danger but is shoved away by his older brother. Lucas finds Drew and tells him he knows where their dog is. Lucas explains he knows about the lamp and the genie and apologizes to Lucas about stealing the lamp and ruining Lucas birthday cake. Lucas apologizes for making Lucas his assistant rather than his partner in his magic act. Lucas and Drew become best friends again. Then they are all off to the magic shop to rescue Joe.

Wendell arrives at the magic shop, puts the lamp on the counter and looks for a place to contain the dog. Ryder arrives, sees the lamp on the counter, slips inside the store and steals the lamp containing Moe. Wendell immerges from the back room, intending to free to Moe and discovers the lamp is missing. The other kids arrive at the magic store. Wendell explains he had no intention of keeping their dog but needed him to get more than infinite wishes. Wendell also discloses that the lamp is missing. The kids immediately know that Ryder has it.

Ryder is inside his bedroom. He rubs the lamp and summons the genie. Ryder silences Moe until he can formulate his wish. Meanwhile, Lucas theorizes that Ryder probably took the lamp home. Ryder wishes for $100 million in a Swiss bank account, but Moe tells Ryder that the wish belongs to Wendell who originally freed him from the lamp. Ryder resolves that there are other ways to get money out of a genie in a lamp. Ryder rubs the lamp forcing Moe inside and then advertises the genie lamp for sale on the internet. After a couple of responses calling Ryder a scammer or offering an alien in trade, Ryder get an offer to meet the buyer on a hangar at the airport with a cash offer of $1million if Ryder can prove the lamp is authentic. Ryder puts the lamp in a box and then in his back pack and leaves on his bicycle.

Lucas, Emma, Oliver, Drew, Benji and Joe arrive at Lucas's house. They discover Ryder is gone but find the sale of the lamp on the internet. Drew recognizes the box the lamp is pictured on is a vanishing box. Emma hands Lucas the remote control for the box. The kids ponder how they can get to the airport. Benji offers to keep their mother busy for the price of one month's supply of candy. Wendell is disappointed in himself that he had not wished for a car. Just then Jeanie and Pickles the dog pull up in convertible van. Jeanie agrees to transport the four kids, a magician and two dogs to the airport after adding "Taxi" to the sign listing her business enterprises.

Ryder enters the hangar. He calls out for Mr. M who has not yet arrived. When Mr. M walks in he is revealed to be a pilot named Hadley (Regi Davis). Ryder displays the merchandise and demands his money. Mr. M demands proof of the genie. Just then the kids arrive. Jeanie and Pickles plan to provide a distraction as the kids plot to recover the lamp. Ryder rubs the lamp and produces the genie. Mr. M pokes Moe confirming him as real. Jeanie bursts in wearing aviator sunglasses and declares that Mr. M's plane will have to be inspected before departure. This allows Joe and the kids to sneak in the other end of the hangar. Moe sees Joe and the kids sneak in but remains silent. Drew wishes Ryder had donuts and he is suddenly covered by large inflatable donuts. Lucas activates the remote control and the lamp disappears inside the vanishing box.

Mr. M realizes Jeanie's inspection is absurd and heads back toward Ryder. M tells Ryder to put the genie back in the lamp. Then Ryder and Mr. M realize the lamp is missing. Mr. M thinks Ryder is trying to pull something and walks away from the deal. Ryder is frustrated, shakes the box causing the lamp to fall out. All the kids make a leap to recover the lamp, but the lamp spins to Wendell. Drew calls for Wendell to toss him the lamp. Ryder and Moe intercept the toss and Ryder eventually recovers the lamp. Ryder announces that he intends to put Moe back inside. In an effort to save his brother, Joe leaps to knock the lamp away from Ryder but is knocked in the head in the process and falls motionless to the floor.

Emma pronounces the dog is dead. Even Ryder is remorseful. Drew, however, says not to give up and believe the impossible is possible. Wendell is reminded he still has one more wish. Wendell wishes that Joe is okay. Moe grants the wish and a few seconds later Joe jumps to his feet. Joe says to Moe that he is sorry he took Moe's magic vial and asks what is worth having him as a brother. Moe responds that losing him would be worse and the genie brothers are again on good terms.

Drew rubs the lamp and Joe is no longer inside Magic. Magic becomes a dog. Ryder declares himself a jerk, and all agree but Lucas forgives his brother for finally doing the right thing. Joe encourages Drew to get some wishes granted, but Drew is content to live with fake magic for a while.

Emma suggests a wish for Drew which he whispers to Joe. Suddenly they are transported to their school where Drew is on stage with Lucas and Ryder performing their magic act. Lucas announces that their next trick will be to make his brother disappear. Ryder steps inside a large box and the curtain is closed. Drew and Lucas utter magical words and the curtain is opened revealing Bruiser where Ryder once stood. The next act is Oliver Jones who performs a robotic break dance. He receives a standing ovation.

Sometime later, Emma and Oliver are together. Emma admires the shirt Oliver won as put of the talent show prize. Oliver asks Emma out for ice cream. Ryder is also there playing with Benji until Lucas and Drew gather everyone together for one last magic trick. With Melanie's help, Drew announces he intends to make Benji's toy dinosaur Rex disappear. When Rex is placed under a covering, he disappears. The toy is actually replaced by a black box. Melanie is asked to open the box which reveals an engagement ring. All of the boys including Paul have taken a knee. Mrs. Crabtree interrupts the moment, accusing the Becker giant dog from digging up her flowers. Melanie gestures to a puppy. Under his breath, Lucas congratulates Drew on asking a good wish. Everyone laughs.
