Plot
Scotty McKay (Cameron) is just an everyday beach-bum who used to have it all, when he finds an attractive genie named Jeannie (Dolenz). Her mission is to assist Scotty. With Jeannie's help, Scotty has everything again and more, as Jeannie does his bidding and answers to his every beck and call; that is until he asks Jeannie to make him more desirable to the next door supermodel, Dana (Felicity Waterman).
Jeannie can't help as far as love is concerned, and besides, Dana is just not interested. Jeannie soon runs into problems when she finds herself attracted to Scotty and finds it difficult to help him win Dana's heart.
When Dana starts cheating with her ex, Scott is convinced by Jeannie to make Dana jealous by wishing her visible to others as his lover. Scotty starts seeing Jeannie's love for him and begins ignoring Dana. Scott ultimately decides to choose Jeannie, whom becomes human after his declaration of love; as genie couldn't declare her love first due to the same magic.
