Genie

About This Movie

So, 'Genie' is this quirky blend of comedy and fantasy. Directed by Sam Boyd, it brings a fresh vibe with its offbeat humor and a whimsical atmosphere. The premise revolves around Flora, a genie who's spent over 2,000 years stuck in a jewelry box. Bernard, the poor guy who's called her by accident, has his life falling apart. The pacing feels just right; it allows for some genuine laughs while also exploring themes of self-discovery and second chances. The practical effects are charming, not overdone, and the performances—especially the chemistry between the leads—add a delightful layer. It’s distinctive in how it weaves humor with a touch of magical realism without going too far into cliché territory.
