Featured review
Farid Al Atrache stars as Asfour, a very, very, VERY dumb man. He's infatuated with the boss' daughter, Aleya (Lola Sedki)--even though she's never really reciprocated and she's totally self-absorbed. Despite this, he holds on to this insane notion throughout most of the film that he wants to marry her. It's even more insane because a beautiful female genie, Kahramana (Samia Gamal), adores him and will do anything to have him as her lover. After finding her magic lamp and freeing her, she helps him in so many ways and is very hot (walking about with far less clothes than I'd expected in an Egyptian film) and willing...yet Asfour keeps talking about Aleya almost non- stop. So, this leads to Kahramana playing a variety of tricks on him to derail this relationship with Aleya until, ultimately, she just gives up and disappears. What's next? See the film.
Like Major Nelson on "I Dream of Jeanie", Asfour is a total moron. He has an incredibly pretty and devoted genie that can and will do anything for him...and he is blind to all her many, many charms. And, like dopey Anthony, he eventually does realize what he's got...but perhaps it's too late.
The film is pretty cute and I was ready to give is an 8. However, the end is just too bizarre and has a song and dance number in Hell....yes, Hell, that makes no sense whatsoever. But overall, still worth seeing.
