Please don't spend money on this.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Well, as so many have said, this is a fun movie, with (at least in the R-rated version) a lot of gratuitous nudity from a wide range of babes, somehow excepting our two leading ladies, ably portrayed by the scrumptious Felicity Waterman and the insanely adorable Ami Dolenz.The other reviewers have pretty well told the story of this movie as far as its strengths (lots of pretty skin and faces, cute love story, nothing too heavy) and weaknesses (mediocre acting by most of the cast, predictable plot). I just wanted to be nerdy and point out one thing which dropped my rating down for this still-enjoyable romp: Jeannie's disdain for Earth, at the start of the film, vanishes without a trace the instant she appears here, never to be heard from again. That's just horrible writing. I know, it's just a B-movie with skin and goofy laughs, but come on. It wouldn't have taken even 10 minutes of thought to put in at least a token follow-on to that bewilderingly abandoned plot point. She could have shown a transition from cynic to some sort of warmth and interest, over the course of the movie.Oh well. Ami really is about as adorable a genie as anyone could want, so it's hard to care too much about that. If she ever popped out of a bottle for me, I'd be asking her what *she* wanted!!One last thing: what was up with Dean Cameron's hair? Points for originality, I guess, but... wow. LOL!Did I mention Ami is adorable?

Dean Cameron plays a guy down on his luck. He finds his girlfriend(Monique Gabrielle fully nude) sleeping with his landlord. She walks out on him and the landlord kicks him out for not paying his rent. Jeannie(played by the gorgeous Ami Dolenz) who lives with other Genie's in the sky is given orders to check out how humanity is doing. She lands her bottle on the beach and Scotty ends up with it. He wakes up the next morning in bed with two naked girls in bed. He runs off with the bottle. She appears to him in the bathroom. Her figure really looks nice in her Genie outfit. I would have preferred to see her belly button, but she still looked nice. She changes his clothing to make him believe in her. He tells her he wants to fall in love with Dana, a beautiful brunette who is the girlfriend of another guy(Played by Dean Cain). She is not able to make her fall in love with him. He ends up wishing to beat her boyfriend in volleyball and he does it. Dana is impressed. Jeannie zaps up a huge house on the sand for Scotty and his 2 buddies to live in. Pat Morita plays a man out of work who was kind to Scotty. He hires him to work at his house. Jeannie zaps a swimsuit contest to take place at their beach and the women stay at their house. There are quite a few topless shots of the girls and they look pretty good. Scotty continues to have wishes granted so he can impress Dana. He does not sleep with her which makes Jeannie happy. She starts falling for him as she shows him how to act and dance with her. Ami and Dean really make a cute couple. Her smile makes me melt. The friends continue to score with the girls. Jeannie has Scotty practice massaging her and they have a little spark of romantic looks at each other. He still wants Dana and Jeannie sabotages his date with her. She is scolded by her Genie boss.Now we get to the best part of the movie. Jeannie and Scotty walk the beach and see Dana with another guy. Jeannie tells him to pick another girl. He decides to make Dana jealous. Jeannie offers to be his girlfriend. Then Scotty utters the magic words "I wish you were visible". Jeannie appears in polka dot blue & white bikini. She is a perfect 10. She has perfect breasts that are popping out of her top nicely. Add to that the her incredibly sexy abs, they are perfect. Also her legs are perfect. I have viewed this scene hundreds of times and it never get old watching it. She even surprises Scotty, but the jealousy bit works for the moment. Jeannie ends up in the bikini contest(wearing a blue bikini now and no great close up shots)and she wins. Scotty is furious and banishes her. He spends another night with Dana and finds out he loves Jeannie. He finds her bottle and says he loves her. She appears and all is good. They walk off onto the beach and Pat Morita turns into Jeannie's boss. He was watching and helping her all the time. This was really a fun movie. It would have been perfect for the whole family, but there are a lot of bare breasts. Harldy any profanity and no violence. Worth watching for getting to see Ami in a bikini!

As another stated, this is my favorite 'B' movie of all time. I have the R-rated version on VHS that I copied to DVD. If this was ever released on DVD I would buy it as soon as released. I watched this for the first time in about 3 years recently and was not disappointed. Every one of my friends that has seen this movie loves it too (mostly my male friends).I defy any male to catch Dolenz in the Genie outfit and not be moved. Dolenz is adorable beyond belief in this film. Cameron's character is very likable also. Good acting by the leads, a good even though far-fetched story, a heart felt ending and Dolenz as the most adorable female lead ever put to film make this a 10/10.

**possible spoilers**?Oh how I love this film! Beautiful location, beautiful beaches, and oh yeah, beautiful girls! There is definitely lots of eye-candy in this one. But Ami Dolenz (Jeannie) steals the whole show. She is such a sweetheart in this movie, and I'm sure others think so too. She has the sweetest voice and I think she's pretty darn HOT! What a lucky guy Dean (Scotty) Cameron is (or was), first receiving the genie bottle from Pat Morita, who plays a beach bum at first but at the films end surprises all of us, and later on at the end, falling in love with Dolenz.There is quite a bit of nudity in this movie, but hardly any sex, it's more of an adult R-rated comedy than those cheesy (but good) Friday After Dark adult flicks that are found on Cinemax. And I have to say again, that Ami Dolenz was and still is the sweetest and most beautiful woman in the world today. Also, the "get off my train" guy from the movie Ghost is in this too, he plays the old antique collector, whom Scotty confronts several times and asks about the bottle he had obtained. Scotty's friends play pretty good roles too. I'd say there's a pretty good cast in this movie, although not spectacular (save for Cameron, Dolenz, and Morita).I rate this movie a 10/10, I absolutely love it to death (so what if it's a B-type movie and never really got good reviews...it has girls, girls, and MORE GIRLS!), and a surprise ending. Go watch it now!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
