I went in expecting the worst and I was pleasantly surprised! I loved this. The broadway production is still my favorite. I thought Will Smith did a superb job. They all did great!

It was such a great movie. The casting was perfect. Will Smith was a perfect choice for Genie! 🧞‍♂️

It's actually really good. Will brought a different energy and stayed true to himself, and it worked.
