A Genie's Tail (2022) User Reviews

Even the dog couldn't save it.

[Keester · 2/10 · 30 May 2022]

Cute kids and cuter dog had no chance of saving this from the dreadful script, dreadful direction and dreadful adults.

But what makes it worse is the stuffing of 10 star votes and over the top reviews in the vain hope of attracting an audience for what at best can only be described as amateurish.

So much fun for the whole family!

[lisagolshani · 10/10 · 19 December 2022]

Rare movie that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy! Hard to find movies suitable for young kids as there is so much inappropriate content out there. It's a rare innocent and pure movie. I especially loved Mrs. Crabtree. She was so funny and the actress that played her did the perfect depiction of a nosy neighbor.my kids and I laughed throughout the movie. The puppy was so cute that my kids are now begging me to get a puppy for them. The storyline also piqued my kids imaginations and they are coming up with their pen stories inspired by A Genie's Tale.

Super cute, highly recommend!! Watch it now!

Amazing!

[ginamills · 10/10 · 22 June 2022]

It was a great movie. Unlike the other kids movies made in today's time, there was no politics in this. No lgbt bull, no unrealistic cast of kids. I mean it's a kids movie. An actual good one. I recommend it. 👌

Wholesome family movie!

[tstavinsky · 10/10 · 19 December 2022]

Finally, a movie appropriate for a whole family! It was wholesome and pure. A rarity these days. I love that there were no shootings, killings, or anything of the sort. It reminds me of the good all days when simple films brought joy and laughter. The idea of a genie inhabiting the dog's body was adorable. Every one of the actors meshed very well together. The lady that played the mom was fabulous. The kids were just adorable. We had a bunch of laughs. I wish all the movies these days made for families have these type of wholesomeness. One of the things I most loved about the movie was the music. Truly incredible I actually thought about going to buy the music in the film. Just not sure how to go about it.

The Brent Huff Touch Now Embraces Family Fare

[foodogfilms-162-291274 · 10/10 · 22 February 2022]

Seeking the perfect film for an 8 year old boy? Look no further than Brent Huff's A Genie's Tail. I spent half the time looking over at my 8-year-old step-son's face as he roared with laughter and cheered on the kids in the movie. On the drive home from the theatre, Greyson quoted his favorite lines from the movie. Brent Huff is an acclaimed actor, action director and documentary filmmaker. But with this delightful and heart-warming movie, he invokes the spirit of the great Disney movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Particularly the original version of The Shaggy Dog. Aided by an impeccable script crafted by Elisa Eliot (who also plays the slightly daffy mom), Huff does a seamless job of direction. We need more movies like this. Keep 'em coming, Brent and Elisa!

A wonderful and hilarious family movie!

[thechristines · 10/10 · 20 February 2022]

My husband, 2 kids and myself just saw this movie today. Everyone did such a great job...including the talented dog Hero, who played Magic! It was full of action, adventure, laughs and a wonderful message. I highly recommend taking your kiddos to see this, you'll leave with a big smile on your face.

Adorable Movie

[shauna-26282 · 10/10 · 19 December 2022]

This movie is adorable and full of fun energy. I put it on the other day for my kids and their young friends and they all loved it! Personally, I especially loved seeing Hero from America's Got Talent in his first movie! The cast of kids were great and it's been hard to find a movie that is pure entertainment for that young kids can enjoy. I see that most of the reviews agree with me. It was annoying to see one person give a 1 star review - guessing it must have been someone completely out of touch with what kids love. We could not have enjoyed it more and I am recommending it to all my friends so that they can watch over the holidays!

Excellent family film

[hayleygoldstein-34171 · 10/10 · 26 February 2022]

I really enjoyed this film. It is the perfect family film where you can bring your whole family. The kids will love it and the parents will get a great laugh too! Never a dull moment!

Loved the film!

[cara-11985 · 10/10 · 25 February 2022]

I took my kids to see this film and they LOVED it. In fact, I even loved it. It was such a cute movie. Super fun and lots of action. The kids were all great actors and it was never boring. Finally a kid's movie where there is no tragedy that is just good action! That dog was so adorable too. I couldn't recommend this more highly!

Loved the movie!

[marybrody · 10/10 · 26 February 2022]

I took my grandchildren to see the movie and I honestly didn't expect that I would love it so much myself! It was really fun and had so many clever lines. I also saw Hero on America's Got Talent and loved seeing him in the movie! He is incredible.

My Son Couldn't Stop Laughing

[laurenbgc · 10/10 · 3 March 2022]

My 7 year old son and I went to see this film on opening day - our first movie since the pandemic began. What a breath of fresh air! We loved it. Great characters (especially Magic!) and story line. It is a sweet family movie. I wish there were more like it. There is something wonderful in the simplicity of it. Highly recommend!

Such a cute family film!

[geller-natalie · 10/10 · 26 February 2022]

Love this movie. We went to watch it on opening weekend. It was such a cute family film for my 6 year old. There were lots of funny parts for adults and kids, and they loved the dog!

My favorite movie

[eloisenord · 10/10 · 25 April 2024]

This movie has everything I like. Dogs, magic, cheese balls, candy, and sneakiness. I can't believe Jake Paul is the star. He is so cool. I want to be a tik tok star like him when I grow up. There is a fun dancing kid I've seen on YouTube who can pop and lick like nobody ever. And a girl from a Disney show I like to watch. She's funny and cute and dresses no e. I thought the story was silly and the genies were funny. My dad told me they are the brothers of Chris Farley who is one of their favorite comedians who did funny movies like Tommy Boy and Saturday night live. I wish I'd gotten to see him in the movie too. But his brothers are really super funny too. I hope you enjoy it.

I Love Wendell!!

[lakersks · 10/10 · 8 May 2024]

In A Genie's Tail, Wendell, the magic shop employee, steals the show with his comedic flair. The writing ensures Wendell's dialogue is packed with humor, making him an instant standout. The Easter eggs that break the 4th wall, considering the character is played by Jake Paul, is especially hilarious! His eccentric personality, expressed through quirky one-liners and exaggerated mannerisms, adds a distinct layer of levity to the film. The actor's delivery is spot-on, blending physical comedy with impeccable timing. His reactions to the unfolding magical chaos are priceless, providing both comic relief and an engaging subplot that complements the story's main arc. Wendell's presence injects extra fun into the movie, making every scene he's in a delightful highlight.

Breath of Fresh Air

[drewjackson-54609 · 10/10 · 8 May 2024]

This was a perfect breath of fresh air for me and my family! There's so much content out there that's either dark or depressing or trying to advance a particular message or goal, that sometimes we lose sight of content that is just fun and wholesome and a joy to watch. This is beautifully shot, well acted, and has a cute story. It's kid-focused, but has important themes about family, friendships, and supporting one another. It has great comedic relief and an amazing cast, including John Farley and even Jake Paul stealing the spotlight with his antics. Strongly recommend for a good family movie!

A Magical Experience

Amazing Acting and Direction

[drewj-96707 · 10/10 · 8 May 2024]

A Genie's Tail skillfully combines humor and heart in a magical story that touches on family and friendship. The writing adeptly balances comedic mishaps with emotional depth, as the main character's wishes create amusing but poignant challenges. Direction keeps the pace brisk while highlighting key moments of growth and camaraderie. The cast delivers earnest performances, particularly the young actors playing Drew, Emma, Lucas, and Ryder, who all bring authenticity to their roles. Benji is especially hilarious, and Wendel brings amazing comic relief. Special effects are cleverly integrated, enhancing the comedic impact of the dog's wishes going upside down. This lighthearted film is a delightful blend of clever writing, strong direction, and charming performances.
