Wonderful adult comedy with Theron and Seth Rogen as unlikely romantic leads. Both fish-out-of-water make the movie work on many levels. And the theme of the need for integrity in all things political couldn’t be more timely or germane for the audience.

Fun but predictable live-action remake. Will Smith gets all the kudos while the musical numbers, other than his, are flat. Will’s genie was worth the ticket price.
