Justin G I have never written a film reviews, but I had to share my two cents about Genie. Honestly, I was skeptical going in — I hadn’t even heard of this movie until it popped up as a suggestion on Peacock. But once I saw Melissa McCarthy’s name attached, I figured I’d give it a shot. She hasn’t let me down yet. The movie itself is definitely on the cheesy side, but in the best possible way. It’s one of those wholesome, lighthearted stories that doesn’t try to be more than it is: a feel-good, family-oriented comedy with a sprinkle of magic. McCarthy brings her usual mix of chaotic energy and warmth, and even when the jokes are a little silly, she makes them land with charm. What surprised me most is how much I actually needed a movie like this. It’s clean, it’s funny, and it has that cozy holiday-season vibe — the kind of film you can watch with your family or just throw on when you need an easy, uplifting escape from everyday stress. So no, it’s not groundbreaking cinema. But if you’re in the mood for something fun, heartwarming, and a little silly, Genie is worth the watch. Sometimes, that’s exactly the kind of magic we need. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Dominic K I love MM but wow give me some insulin because this Christmas snack is pretty sugary, not to mention more unbelievable than it should have been; nobody really questions the existence of the Genie for long if at all. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Chris M The storyline is a bit on the week side and the actors sometimes seem like they're not quite comfortable in their roles. But I have to say that it's about time that someone went back to this feel-good type of movie. It's one to watch at Christmas time or when you need a push away from a scheptical world. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Ziz D I watched it with my family, and I have to say I am not impressed. It is very underwhelming, and I feel like they just failed at attempting humor for most parts. The music in the beginning doesn't match the theme, and the wife acts as if her husband is just her acquaintance. Overall, I think they could do much better. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Robson C Bernard vivia dividido entre o trabalho e família. A situação chegou a tal ponto que a sua esposa decide passar as festas de fim do ano com a sua filha na casa da sua mãe e dá um tempo no relacionamento. Depois disso, ele é demitido. Infeliz, ao limpar uma antiga caixa de joias, aca liberando uma gênia, Flora, que passa o ajudar a reconquistar a sua família. O filme é um pretexto para Melissa McCarthy brilhar e ela esbanja todo o seu talento, descobrindo as maravilhas da vida moderna e desenvolvendo uma paixonite por Tom Cruise. Ela desenvolve uma química muito boa com o seu parceiro de cena, Paapa Essiedu. O elenco está muito bem, porém o filme patina. Primeiro, porque não sabe se assume como uma comédia romântica ou uma comédia normal. Os efeitos visuais são fracos. A cena do voo no tapeta voador é risível. Toda a sequência envolvendo a Mona Lisa é lamentável. E o pior é que o roteiro é de Richard Curtis, que já escreveu Simplesmente Amor, Quatro Casamentos e um Funeral e Yesterday. Definitivamente é um dos seus piores trabalhos. Pena, pois poderia ter se tornado uma diversão bem melhor.
