In the absence of Larry Hagman, this movie had a good premise. Unfortunately, the solution wasn't the best, and the movie wasn't nostalgic enough.
I'd have preferred a more in-series solution like this: (*spoilers on the main plot*) Although married, Roger would have had a larger role in this, including reminiscing about the many mishaps they've had since Jeannie and Tony got married.
The genie law says a master must be single, although a brother could stand-in as a temporary master. Unfortunately, she has no brother, only has a sister, and an evil 1 at that!
Jeannie 2 interferes enough in everyone's lives, and Jeannie has not succeeded in her search.
At the end Jeannie accepts her banishment and says her final goodbye to her son. But the clock hits 12 and she's still there, and doesn't understand how.
Then Roger walks in saying a scroll magic'd into his hands. It says in English he's her new Master, while there's some fancy designs underneath.
Jeannie reads the old genie language which says although Roger is married, over the years he developed a brotherly love for her.
Jeannie 2 appears and protests that he never actually said he's her new master, but Sahm-Ir decrees it was not necessary, as he was always ready to protect her, and that was more powerful than mere words.
Sahm-Ir turns Jeannie 2 into a scorpion for her treachery, and Anthony Jr. Says his professor would appreciate a new exotic pet.
