    A djinn in the USA

    Very light comedy with Bud Spencer in the role of a djinn just out of the lamp. Plot not at all original but nice enough to be acceptable.

    This is not a memorable movie; I'm sure it was a home video made solely for viewing without thinking about the quality of the product.

    Fun for the entire family! NO WAY!!!

    But, if you look at this film the other way around, the 1986 "update" is interestingly strange and hilarious enough to deserve a good viewing. Although parents may get peeved over its occasionally crude content to show to their children, I reckon they'll still giggle over it anyway! Who cares if it isn't Disney? Of the thousands of Aladdins in the world today, this one is the most unusual version around.

    I Wish This Movie Would Stop Now!

    I don't get how this movie has such a high rating... it's AWFUL! The film quality is HORRIFIC, the cinematography is ABYSMAL, the plot is RIDICULOUS, and the ACTING? Ugh... There are no words... By the time I was maybe 10 minutes in, they'd already broken almost EVERY Djin rule out there! You get 3 wishes - broken - etc... This movie also included swearing, which for a "family movie" which is what I assume this is, Aladdin movies usually are, I don't think is very appropriate! I recommend avoiding!

    Corny, episodic but likable.

    There is only one way to get through this "Aladdin": you must have a high tolerance for corniness. One minute the Genie says that he doesn't know what these "boxes" (meaning the cars) are, the next he delivers exactly the kind of car that the kid (his "master") wants. There isn't really a story, it's just a series of unrelated episodes. And the "culture shock" factor (the Genie wakes up 200 years after his time) goes almost completely unexplored. But the movie has an essential good-heartedness that makes it likable. It's also nice to hear Bud Spencer's original voice for a change, Italian accent and all. (**1/2)

    • Alternate versions
      German VHS (by United Video) and first DVD release (by MCP) were cut by ca. 20 seconds (probably due to issues with the used transfer). Re-release by KSM uses a different transfer and is uncut.
