    Even the dog couldn't save it.

    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.

    A wonderful and hilarious family movie!

    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.

    A Magical Experience

    A Genie's Tail offers viewers a whimsical adventure that's as heartfelt as it is humorous. Directed by a creative team that understands the delicate balance of delivering laughs and teaching important life lessons, the film is a delightful exploration of friendship and family. It follows the journey of a young boy named Drew who, upon receiving a new puppy for his birthday, discovers that his furry friend has stumbled upon a magical genie.

    The humor in A Genie's Tail strikes a fine balance between slapstick and cleverness, appealing to both children and adults. Parents will find themselves chuckling along with their kids, making it an excellent family movie.

    A Genie's Tail isn't just about jokes and magic. It smartly weaves in themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the importance of family support. As Drew and his siblings and friends learn to navigate the chaos created by his puppy's wishes gone awry, he also learns valuable lessons about inner strength.

    Visually, the film is a feast of colorful scenes and special effects that emphasize the fantastical nature of the wishes. The magic is playful and keeps the audience engaged. The production team ensures that each visual trick is used to maximize comedic impact without overwhelming the story's heart.

    What stands out in *A Genie's Tail* is its ability to blend fantasy with reality. While magic is a significant driver of the plot, the film stays grounded in its exploration of real-world issues. Kids can relate to Drew's desire for acceptance and the challenges he faces with bullying. They will see themselves in the protagonist and perhaps come away with the understanding that being different is not something to be ashamed of.

    Overall, *A Genie's Tail* is a charming, family-friendly film that will resonate with viewers of all ages. It offers a fantastical escape that entertains while imparting a message of resilience and the importance of loved ones. If you're seeking a feel-good movie that delivers laughs and a bit of magic, this one is worth watching.

    The Brent Huff Touch Now Embraces Family Fare

    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!

    Breath of Fresh Air

    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!
