Rating: 6/10 Stars ******

A strange but entertaining old Russian movie about a young school boy who unwittingly finds and opens a strange bottle he finds whilst swimming to discover it holds a powerful Genie who is so happy to be free that he takes it upon himself to be the boy's new guardian and servant. An adventure ensures. This could be a kids movie, but it is entertaining for adults too, and quirky, Check it out. Sorry there are no YouTube trailers for this one, but YouTube does have the whole movie up for viewing HERE.
