Everyone who left a 10/10 review is lying. If I had an 1 hour and 33 minutes to live, I would watch this movie again because it would feel like an eternity.
The main character is the real villain of this movie. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's selfish, greedy, and ridiculously stupid. Ironically, the genie thanks him for not being any of these at the end of the film.
This film felt like the writers and the director had no idea which direction they wanted to go in. They kept throwing in random scenes of the genie being sad with no context as to why. Not once does she bring up how lonely she is or how trapped she is. They randomly threw the Mona Lisa painting in the film, which mad absolutely no sense. It just seemed they wanted to throw a scene in there that would somewhat relate to the original movie. I don't think the director even knew why he had that scene in there. He may have been high. Who knows.
The saddest part of this whole movie is that Melissa McCarthy couldn't even carry this movie. I'm pretty sure the only reason she was in this film is because the producers used all their money to have her star in it which is why there are so many unknown actors in this film.
TLDR; This movie was awful. I wanted to punch the main character in the face the entire time. Wishes wasted at the end for a peanut butter sandwich (NOT EVEN JELLY WITH IT). My blind cat had to leave halfway through because she couldn't bear to watch anymore of this. Don't waste your time. Watch elf instead.
