Coup de génie

I've seen this movie a few times, and I thought it was pretty good, but somewhat flawed. 99% of the nudity was gratuitous and just showed up out of nowhere. There was no violence, and I don't remember any cussing. If the nudity were removed, this would be a great kids movie. Ami Dolenz, Jeannie, is looking like just about the cutest girl imaginable in this movie.

Over 54% of IMDB viewers rated this movie at least 7 out of 10, and 25% rated it 10 out of 10. So a lot of people do like this movie! If you do not expect a reality-based movie, with an intellectual script and complex plot, and if you just view this film with a light-hearted shallowness in order to have some fun, then all is fine. For the guys there is plenty of eye candy, especially in the R-rated version, but this is not simply a cheap C-grade sex movie because there is actually a nice message about love and romance and if you are open to this then you will feel good at the end of the film.

Ami Bluebell Dolenz is amazingly cute and beautiful, perfect for the role of a genie. Her middle name fits perfectly and is probably every man's dream woman. There are some stupid lines and bad acting (but not from the main characters) and overall it is a good flick, especially for the guys and for women who do not feel threatened by seeing so many gorgeous bodies.

The addition of Pat Morita (from 'Karate Kid' fame) and Vincent Schiavelli (the subway ghost in 'Ghost' and so many other films) puts this film up a few more notches. Unfortunately the video cover for this film portrays it as a cheap sex film, which you may find it to be if sexy bodies plus light comedy are an unpleasant combination for you. For the rest of us, we can have a few laughs with a few romantic dreams.

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

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.
