Genie

Plot

The film is a fairy-tale comedy about a workaholic man who enlists the help of a magical genie to help win his family back before Christmas.

My Thoughts

I had high hopes for this film. I enjoy Melissa McCarthy in The Gilmore Girls (bot not all the things she has been in). In the end we decided to give it 3.5/5. It was solidly average. Richard Curtis has been a favourite over the years, I loved Love Actually and the Vicar of Dibley. Genie doesn't have the magic of either of them. It did have some nice elements and the second half was better than the first. Ultimately though it doesn't have the potential of being an annual revisit.
