This cheese-ball has two names: The Outing and The Lamp. They're both lazy, generic and boring, but they both work because I really don't know what else this fright flick could have been called when it was first released. This isn't your love-able Robbin Williams genie from Aladdin. This is straight up evil Jinn shit that is hell bent on killing you and granting your wish... even if it's not a well intended one. There is a big Chopping Mall feeling to it as well, except it takes place in a huge museum with teens that shouldn't be there partying after hours while in the former film it's teens partying in a huge mall after hours. Kind of different, but kind of the same all in all. I really don't know if I would want to party in either of those locations after closing time, but for a teenager looking for a good time, any secluded area away from adults and authorities makes for a good time. Oh, there's a scene where a punk-ass tough-guy wanna-be shoves his ex-girlfriend into a locker in the middle of school, he proceeds to get punched right in the face and a teacher flips his ass over with a pool-cue looking writing tool in front of everyone. What a great fight. Wish I would've had some popcorn. Come at me Jinn. There's my wish.
