Totally adorable!
I saw this when it premiered on UK television, Christmas 1991. I taped it from A&E a few years ago, and now it’s part of my Christmas Eve ritual! This is a really cute movie, and suitable for older children. (There’s nothing really offensive in it; I just don’t think there’s enough happening to keep younger kids interested.) Alan Cumming and the brilliant Lenny Henry have a great chemistry. Rowan Atkinson is, as ever, brilliant. I love when the Genie tries ice cream for the first time; he runs out into the street and yells, “HEY EVERYBODY, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS STUFF! It’s freezing cold and tastes exactly like strawberries!” I also love the newscast with the results of the boys’ wishes. People outside the UK won’t get all the references, but it’s still worth it!
Simple, sweet, superb
This film never fails to cheer me out of the holiday blues. In fact, I can think of no other film that so succinctly brings the true message of Christmas to the fore without being preachy or heavy-handed. Alan Cumming is simply adorable as luckless Bernard and Lenny Henry is utterly engaging as the titular genie. Henry’s tour-de-force performance as the ancient genie discovering modern delights like Big Macs and action films is a wonder to behold. I am tearing up just thinking of the ending, but this truly is a heart-warming film; (though I don’t like using that clichéd term, it really means something in this movie.) Rowan Atkinson may have a thankless role as the rat bastard art dealer, but he handles it perfectly. It was my passion for Atkinson’s work that made me look at this film in the first place, and I am so grateful I taped it off A&E those many years ago. This is required viewing at Christmastime.
