I Still Dream of Jeannie (1991 TV Movie)
5/10
It is decent.
4 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
First off this movie lacks cast. With 2 of 4 original cast in this final Jeannie update. Barbara Eden looking fabulous for a immortal genie. And lovable Roger reprise their roles of the classic 60s sitcom. Hayden Rorke who played Dr Bellows passed away in 1987 and Larry Hagman spending last 13 years of Dallas on vacation. This movie lacks the depth the characters made Jeannie. Having no Tony for Jeannie is just wrong, it's what make Jeannie and Tony tick.

Having said this, they try fill in the gap by updating the feel towards the 90s. There are 2 plots. Main plot: Tony is unaccounted for 3 months and Jeannie must look for him, and Jeannie 2 reminds the head of Genies that Jeannie must look for Tony or find a temporary master or send back to Babylon with the influence of Jeannie 2 to prevent this from happening. Sub-plot, her son got kidnapped by Jeannie 2 to divert her search for Tony, and the son broke free but got kidnapped again by 2 thieves. I find the movie somewhat enjoyable, but not mind blowing.
