Only McCarthy movie I have not found funny or entertaining. Very bad writing, acting and directing.
In Review Online
Steven Warner
...there isn't all that much to Genie, save for a lot of McCarthy mugging and some tired platitudes about how actions speak louder than wishes (or some such nonsense).
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Those looking for some Christmas charm that's not too challenging could do a whole lot worse than this.
Pop Culture Planet
Kristen Maldonado
It ultimately has a nice message about being present and putting your loved ones first, but Bernard's journey feels like it is missing some depth. Genie is a pleasant, albeit forgettable, holiday movie.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
Well, maybe Ben Falcone wasn't the problem after all.
Cultured Vultures
Natasha Alvar
It feels ironic that a movie about magic and wishing doesn't feel all that magical.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
Genie's messages of valuing your loved ones and being unselfish are on point for the holiday season, and this film should have no trouble finding an audience year-round. But, it could have been so much more.
Decider
Maddy Casale
Genie just didn't have enough left in the bottle to make it a successful holiday hit.

The Mary Sue
Chelsea Steiner
Unfortunately, this Peacock original contains few laughs, little Christmas spirit, and a complete lack of originality.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
While Curtis' original 1991 film was a commentary on the commercialization of Christmas, this Genie does not have anything to say other than to make sure you are not late for important moments in your life. And don't eat hand sanitizer.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Alan Cumming brings the right touch as Bernard's awful and vain boss, but this is Essiedu's opportunity to shine, and does he ever take full advantage of it.
Hallmarkies Podcast
Rachel Wagner
What a pleasant surprise with a very funny script from Richard Curtis and charming performance from McCarthy
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film's ending manages to pull things together nicely, thanks to a bit of a cheat, and gives both Bernard and Flora the endings that both deserve, and one that doesn't completely fall on its face is the greatest gift of all.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Melissa McCarthy's charisma brings some zany comic energy to this otherwise innocuous and predictable tale of holiday redemption.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
[McCarthy is] the quipster caffeine in "Genie," but over the years she has perked up too many second-rate, throwaway comedies, and this, I'm afraid, is one more of them.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Put it back in the bottle.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A new Peacock movie that's genuinely likable for a while before you realize it's run out of new ideas and has no clue where to go with the ones it has left.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Genie" is not a powerful viewing experience, and comedic value is tested at times, but it's gentle work with a pleasing Christmas atmosphere.
