DVD Review: 5 STARS FOR KIDS
Summary: 3 Stars
KAZAAM
Shaquille O'Neal is of course a world famous basketball player and entertainer who has done it all from act, to rap to of course playing ball. I have always found him to be entertaining and believe that he is genuinely a nice guy. Well the year was 1996 I believe when Shaq let loose his rapping genie in movie theaters across the country. To be honest it is an interesting idea because of his size and celeberty appeal. But also as long as we are honest he is not the best actor ever. Still for kids this actually a good movie because when I was younger I remember loving this movie, for the adults maybe not so much.
Max is just your average kid wanting to be cool, not picked on at school, and the victim of a normal situation. That of course would be never really knowing his dad and mama has a new boyfriend. So he is having and over all bad time at this point in his life, that is until he literally falls into some good luck. When running from the school bullies one day he falls various floors and lands right on top of the magic boom box. In doing so he releases the genie named Kazaam. From there things get interesting as Kazaam tries to convince Max he is the real deal and will grant three wishes. Once he realizes what he has the time is now for Max to change his luck, if all works out.
This is a very fun one for the kiddies as Shaq really is an entertaining guy and the fun of the wishes will make it a hit with any kid. As for the adults it can still be fun if you turn off the brain but this is far from a perfect film. Let us start with the acting because our lead needed some work. Shaq is very outgoing and fun in the role and actually for his acting abilities this may be his best job, he hams it up. Still he will never win any awards for acting but at least in a non serious role he can have fun with it. Francis Capra did a good enough job as Max especially for a child actor, he has a new look now and has done some good stuff. Everyone else in the film did a good job from his parents to mama's boyfriend.
As for the writing it really needs some work from the older stand point, of course this is for kids and on that level it works. Director Paul Glaser along with fellow writers Roger Soffer and Christian Ford [who still write together] needed to pick it up a bit for the parents but for the kiddies it works. I find it hard to really dig into this because I know it is for kids, plus I liked it a lot when I was younger. Still this may not be the best choice for the serious movie fan, really it is not. This may not be the best movie ever but for those who like to turn it off it is fun, I liked it then I like it now.
