Details

Col. Nelson is on a long-term, top-secret space mission. Jeannie cannot bring him home (temporarily) to hear their son's important academic presentation without knowing exactly where he is in the first place. The general in charge of the mission won't reveal anything. Things are further complicated when Jeannie's sister (Jeannie II) reminds Sham-Ir, the head of the genies, that a genie on Earth cannot go more than 3 months without an earthly master. (Col. Nelson is no longer Earthly, being in space.) Sham-Ir give Jeannie I a fortnight (14 days) to either find Col. Nelson or get a new master, a single male. (Col. Healy can't help, since he's now married.)

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
sunznc I have always loved "I Dream of Jeannie". Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden did such a good job with what they had to work with. It's almost like a cartoon with human actors. Slightly over the top, frenetic energy and very colorful. It's entertaining. And who doesn't love that fluffy, bright pink smoke coming from Jeannie's ornately painted bottle? Unfortunately, "I Still Dream of Jeannie" lacks any frenetic energy or creativity at all. We have the ornately painted bottles but where is the fluffy pink smoke? We have blurry CGI smoke. The acting isn't bad but it isn't entertaining either. There is a dry, somber feeling to this that makes the movie feel flat. The dialogue is terrible and I felt embarrassed for some of the characters in some scenes. The funniest scenes in my opinion are when a general's cigar explodes in his face, leaving his skin black and when an elderly lady picks up Jeannie's sister on the side of a country road. That was prime Jeannie. But where were more of those scenes? Did anyone even try to come up with anything funny here? Sure didn't feel like it. All in all disappointing and boring. Just watch Jeannie on DVD instead.
Thomas E. Thorsen Barbara Eden is probably my favorite T.V. actress of all time she did her movie time in the 50's and early 60's. But what she did in this movie is almost a crime. I mean how can a 60 year old woman look so good in a Jeannie costume. She has the body of a 30 year old in this I'm still in shock and I saw this movie six years ago. She even had me debating with myself if she had a body double through half the movie when I then realized that would've been impossible. I could keep writing about how shockingly beautiful she was but I really shouldn't be shocked she has always been gorgeous. So I'll get on with the movie. Her husband (tony) is lost in space and after a certain period of time is gone I think 30 days she's going to have to go back home if they can't find tony. So she has to go find a new master naturally her sister jeannietwo shows up and tries to mess up the situation even more. It was a watchable movie and if you were an I dream of Jeannie fan like I've been my whole life since I was 4 even at four I thought I was going to get in trouble for watching it because of her outfits in the show. Eventually I realized I wasn't going to get in trouble though. You might think I'm nuts for giving this movie a 10 but I can't change it Barbara Eden was just too good looking in this movie to give it anything lower.
S Bradford Jeannie seems to have lost her newfound independence from the last TV sequel, as well as her reason for being with the absence of her master, who's off on an extended space mission (Larry Hagman is absent again). With the exception of the existence of Jeannie and Tony's son, none of the continuity developed for the earlier "15 Years Later" movie is followed.The plot is contrived (Jeannie must find a temporary master while Tony is away), and there's little nostalgia value, as Jeannie and Roger are the only two characters from the original series present. If you want to see how things turned out for Jeannie and Tony after the original series ended, skip this one and seek out the earlier reunion, instead.
Gravity06 I thought the B-plot (Tony Jr. is kidnapped ... and Jeannie has less than a week to find him) was better than the main (or A) plot (Jeannie has less than two weeks to find a new master ... or be sent back to Baghdad forever). The main plot could've been done away with altogether, in my opinion ... leaving only the kidnap story.I loved the ending!! (Let's just say Jeannie kicks a** ... as only Jeannie can).
