Even the dog couldn't save it.
Keester30 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!
lisagolshani19 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!
ginamills22 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!
tstavinsky19 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-162-29127422 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!
thechristines20 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-2628219 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!

Loved the film!
cara-1198525 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!
marybrody26 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
laurenbgc3 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-natalie26 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
eloisenord25 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.
