Excellent premise, hopeless execution, sleep-inducing result – these words can describe not only A Touch of Genie, but also practically every film made by Joe Sarno, one of the most overrated hustlers in the field of erotica and porn. Not that he doesn’t occasionally go off and make a surprisingly watchable film, such as Young Playthings and Bibi: Confessions of Sweet Sixteen. However, these seem rather more like wrong turns in an otherwise consistently futile filmography, where most of the entries confirm Sarno’s hopeless inability to tell a story and his dyslexia in the area of film language. A Touch of Genie could be a splendidly entertaining mix of Allen-esque comedy and porn, but due to its half-baked script, obviously cheap production and Sarno’s somnambulant style, it unfortunately remains only a futile promise and, at the same time, hopelessly wasted potential, which is evident in the fact that porn actors Harry Reems and Eric Edwards prove in their scenes to have far more acting and comedic talent than the lead actor.
