"It’s great to see Smith in comedic mode again, and smart of the team to base the Genie’s personality on the star’s brand..." - 05/22/2019 Variety
"Massoud has a deadpan comic energy that shines....Ditto Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine, who has a fierce dignity..." - 05/24/2019 RogerEbert.com
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Putting his own spin on Genie’s big song, 'Friend Like Me,' Smith is a comic blast. His scenes with Massoud have a scrappy charge that lift the mood..." - 05/22/2019 Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- "As a remake, then, it brings the ‘toon to vivid life..." - 05/22/2019 Empire
