Are there any dance scenes in this movie?

Sort of like "I Dream of Jeanie"...sort of...

Is happiness in wealth? What about loyalty, love, and fidelity?

Loyalty? Which bank will accept loyalty? Loyalty is now an outdated currency.

aged and slightly weird, but fun.

&quot;Lady Genie&quot;, before anything else, is a fun movie. It&apos;s sort of a cross between Gene Kelly and Bollywood. The acting is good, and the singing and dancing are excellent. The plot is very silly indeed, and I found it extremely diverting, despite the flaws which I shall now list.

The first is not a flaw so much as a disclaimer: those not familiar with the Arabic culture may be baffled for most of the duration. This is an Arabic movie made for an Arab audience, and there are no explanations for outsiders.

Second: I have compared &quot;Lady Genie&quot; to a Gene Kelly movie, and the similarities are in that the music numbers are long and don&apos;t further the plot. Especially the finale with the demons and the girls in the cages -- long and random.

Finally: it&apos;s old, and cheap. The film quality in particular suffers from this.

But, as I said in the beginning, it&apos;s a wild romp, quite funny and featuring some world-class belly-dancing.
