Synopsis:

If there is no such thing as a free lunch, then there is surely no such thing as a no-strings-attached magic box that can grant you a million dollars. Yet when such a mysterious gift is placed in the hands of Norma and Arthur Lewis (Cameron Diaz and James Marsden), the temptation to take the money may prove greater than their concern for the consequences.

What appear to be common toys turn into something more sinister in the movie, The Last Mimzy.

On a lighter note, Disney’s Aladdin stars a magic Genie that offers three wishes to a desperate young man.
