Coup de génie

I've seen this movie and I found it good but not great. The story of a genie coming out of a bottle is not that original, although I like the idea of making this movie during present-days. Besides, it was quite comic and the shocking appearance of Dolenz really help the title from being a regular one...

Miracle Beach unapologetically embraces the most hedonistic aspects of living in glamorous Los Angeles. At least half of the movie features women naked or in skimpy bikini's. In the Miracle Beach Universe everyone is sleeping with each other. There's beaches, large beach houses, expensive cars and did I mention a lot of beautiful women?

Miracle Beach embraces all the stereotypes of the glamorous rich in LA and has a lot of fun with it. The genie aspect is a nice touch and this results in a lot of cool moments. Scotty and his crew of bros do the typical things bros do when they can have anything they want in the world.

The love story managed to pull me in. Ami Dolenz had a great performance. Don't expect too much depth from this movie though. It's mainly about people having fun but it does try to add some depth with a love story. The overall feel of the movie is just so goofy that any attempts at seriousness actually makes the movie more fun because it makes it feel even more goofy.

It's an innocent, playful feel good movie. I like it.

Babes, breasts, and the occasional joke flavor this movie about a hot genie and a beach bum. I have not viewed this movie in awhile but what I can remember is that the women look good and Dean Cameron does his usual slacker bit. Not the greatest movie but I seem to remember laughing at some of the parts. I remember a lot of cameos and Morita is still amusing although he is not in the movie long. Aside from the eye candy, this movie has little to bring to the table and if you don't like Cameron or Dolenz, don't even bother.

A side note: there are two versions of this movie out there, I have seen both versions on HBO and the R-rated version is better, not just for the nudity but also the story flows better and Alexis Arquette is not even in the PG-13 version.

Not too bad of a film. The premise of a genie that grants you unlimited wishes is a tough topic, considering there are things like paradoxes and such, but if you over look that, and just accept the film as a fun "beach" movie, you won't be disappointed. The Genie is a very likable character, and casted very well. The lead, Dean Cameron, is a complete loser, but his innocence is what makes him so likable. It's a cute love story, with unexpected amounts of nudity, and a happy ending... what more would you want from a film starring Dean Cameron?

A guy loses his apt, his job and his woman all in the same day..to top it off he sees his dream girl, a supermodel, and she blows him off..He takes a walk on the beach to get away and stumbles upon a genie, played by Ami Dolenz (daughter of Monkee Mickey Dolenz) named Jeanie (how unique!) She grants him everything he desires in order to win over the supermodel who ditched him..but the genie soon finds herself falling for her master...Will her love win out over his lust for the supermodel? This is a suprisingly good film for its plot and premise..its no comedic masterpiece but it has some funny moments and a coherent plot along with a good performance by the pretty Ami Dolenz. On a scale of one to ten..6
