From Oscar®-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis comes Genie, a holiday fairytale comedy about a genie, a man, and landing one last chance to fix the mess you've made of your life. With his job, life and family unraveling around him, a despondent Bernard (Paapa Essiedu) dusts off a jewelry box and unintentionally releases genie Flora (Melissa McCarthy), who just might be able to help him. Maybe. It's a longshot, frankly. In the process, Flora and Bernard will discover that love, and an unexpected friendship, can unleash a special holiday magic all its own.

Critics Consensus: Melissa McCarthy is as hard-working as ever, but her efforts aren't enough to raise Genie past the realm of blandly predictable holiday fare.

...there isn’t all that much to Genie, save for a lot of McCarthy mugging and some tired platitudes about how actions speak louder than wishes (or some such nonsense).

It's not bad enough to make you wish for your time back, but you won't be adding it to your list of favourite Christmas movies any time soon.

Those looking for some Christmas charm that’s not too challenging could do a whole lot worse than this.

Bland, predictable and seemingly chucked together with minimal effort at the last minute from the most basic ingredients.

It ultimately has a nice message about being present and putting your loved ones first, but Bernard’s journey feels like it is missing some depth. Genie is a pleasant, albeit forgettable, holiday movie.
