Deseos perdidos

Actor Dean Cameron apparently said this is the film that killed his career, but he's pretty much playing the same character he always did, a beach bum.

Cameron is a young man who has lost his girlfriend and his job. He has a thing for a British woman from a television commercial but she won't give him the time of day. He ends up with a genie, played by Ami Dolenz, who will grant him all the wishes he wants. While he believes he is getting everything he wants, it turns out the British woman still doesn't really care for him and the genie has fallen for him.

This film may seem like a career killer to some, but it's really a cute little comedy film at the end of the day. Sure it has too many nude scenes for this type of film, but it is still a decent watch. I feel like the movie is something between a sex comedy and a cute romantic comedy. It would've been nice if the makers of this film had picked a lane but the end result is still good.

I've seen this movie and I found it good but not great. The story of a genie coming out of a bottle is not that original, although I like the idea of making this movie during present-days. Besides, it was quite comic and the shocking appearance of Dolenz really help the title from being a regular one...

Babes, breasts, and the occasional joke flavor this movie about a hot genie and a beach bum. I have not viewed this movie in awhile but what I can remember is that the women look good and Dean Cameron does his usual slacker bit. Not the greatest movie but I seem to remember laughing at some of the parts. I remember a lot of cameos and Morita is still amusing although he is not in the movie long. Aside from the eye candy, this movie has little to bring to the table and if you don't like Cameron or Dolenz, don't even bother.

A side note: there are two versions of this movie out there, I have seen both versions on HBO and the R-rated version is better, not just for the nudity but also the story flows better and Alexis Arquette is not even in the PG-13 version.

A cute comedy about every mans wish at some point in time. Get the girl, money, car the easy way........make a wish! Dolenze really helps this film out. It's fun to watch this film late at night when there really isn't anything exciting on. I give it a 6.

Not too bad of a film. The premise of a genie that grants you unlimited wishes is a tough topic, considering there are things like paradoxes and such, but if you over look that, and just accept the film as a fun "beach" movie, you won't be disappointed. The Genie is a very likable character, and casted very well. The lead, Dean Cameron, is a complete loser, but his innocence is what makes him so likable. It's a cute love story, with unexpected amounts of nudity, and a happy ending... what more would you want from a film starring Dean Cameron?
