Genie

"Genuinely likable for a while before you realise it’s run out of new ideas."

"Character development, life lessons, holiday cheer? All a distant wish."

"Bafflingly bland."

"The holiday themes feel arbitrary and tacked on."

"Saved from the wrapping-paper pile by the amiable chemistry of its stars."

"A wholesome Christmas cookie of a movie."

"Put this dreadful comedy back in the bottle."

"Ultimately feels about as hollow as an empty genie’s lamp."

"After a few bumps, the film settles into an amiable groove."

"Ho-hum."
