Cute kids and cuter dog had no chance of saving this from the dreadful script, dreadful direction and dreadful adults.
But what makes it worse is the stuffing of 10 star votes and over the top reviews in the vain hope of attracting an audience for what at best can only be described as amateurish.

My husband, 2 kids and myself just saw this movie today. Everyone did such a great job...including the talented dog Hero, who played Magic! It was full of action, adventure, laughs and a wonderful message. I highly recommend taking your kiddos to see this, you'll leave with a big smile on your face.

Seeking the perfect film for an 8 year old boy? Look no further than Brent Huff's A Genie's Tail. I spent half the time looking over at my 8-year-old step-son's face as he roared with laughter and cheered on the kids in the movie. On the drive home from the theatre, Greyson quoted his favorite lines from the movie. Brent Huff is an acclaimed actor, action director and documentary filmmaker. But with this delightful and heart-warming movie, he invokes the spirit of the great Disney movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Particularly the original version of The Shaggy Dog. Aided by an impeccable script crafted by Elisa Eliot (who also plays the slightly daffy mom), Huff does a seamless job of direction. We need more movies like this. Keep 'em coming, Brent and Elisa!
This was a perfect breath of fresh air for me and my family! There's so much content out there that's either dark or depressing or trying to advance a particular message or goal, that sometimes we lose sight of content that is just fun and wholesome and a joy to watch. This is beautifully shot, well acted, and has a cute story. It's kid-focused, but has important themes about family, friendships, and supporting one another. It has great comedic relief and an amazing cast, including John Farley and even Jake Paul stealing the spotlight with his antics. Strongly recommend for a good family movie!
