To me, this movie is perfection.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a sitcom that used to be broadcast in my country Vietnam and i remembered watching it when i was 10 and now it's still my favorite show. It's a kids show anyway so why bother? It's fun and exciting and enjoyable. Nothing bad with it really! May seem silly but very funny. I'm re watching it and still feel the same way as years ago. Absolute joy !

The show is OK, You can tell that it is a rather low budget show considering its quite obvious that the laughing is a sound track, It sounds the same every time! The problem is, is that the plot has been done so many times before...So many times people have found a lamp and there's a genie inside, they wish and the wish "doesn't go to plan" Its a decent show, But eventually you are likely to get bored of the same similar plot lines...I would say that this show is good for 7-11 year olds because of the simple plot lines.I think that the lack of budget is the reason behind its poor ratings.

Holy mackerel! I thought this show was just some more cheap American Sitcom trash directed at lazy kids with nothing better to watch. My wife and I grimaced while we tried to determine whether the accents were fake or not. I literally had to go online to find out where the show was made. Boy were we shocked to find out it was British. There is nothing funny about this show at all! I mean the Genie in the house theme has been done so many times already, why bother? Yikes! Just awful!!! I commented on how our children were just staring at the TV. not laughing at all. I mean there is nothing funny with it whatsoever. What is the story with the father? he acts like such an airhead but he is filling out all this important paper work in the kitchen? Furthermore, I cannot figure out the family dynamics here. I suppose I would know if I saw the original pilot. To tell the truth though, I am glad that I didn't. Why waste our time with this kind of garbage?

OK, so the acting is awful and you can't really deny that. I'm not sure whether the actors are British and bad, or American trying to be British, but either way, their accents cannot be real. No Brits talk like that. The story lines are predictable and some of the scenarios the characters find themselves in are ridiculous. The show is obviously low-budget, as is made clear by the average special effects. The genie, Adil, has the most stupid voice and makeup on, it's almost laughable. I feel embarrassed for him. But ultimately, I think the show is designed to be silly watching. Like the other Nickelodeon UK show, Renford Rejects, which was really quite awful.On the positive sides, I can imagine the show being a bit of fun-watching for younger children, such as below 11. Also, the two sisters and very attractive and well worth a look. Give the show a few tries, and once you adopt to its unique style, you may find it interesting.
