To me, this movie is perfection.

Simply Perfect

A Masterpiece!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

... but perfect inspiration for a site that help people avoid wasting time watching truly rotten films like this.Whether or not you've started watching this yet or not it's never too late to "eject."Press stop.

Kazaam (1996): Dir: Paul M. Glaser / Cast: Shaquille O'Neal, Francis Capra, Ally Walker, James Acheson, Marshall Manesh: Ridiculous and violent film aimed at younger viewers. Francis Capra plays a boy angry about the split between his parents. He lives with his mother since his father pirates music. Upon escaping from bullies in an abandon building he unleashes Kazaam the genie from a boom box. Like all genies he can grant three wishes but unfortunately none of them involve the ending of this film arrive sooner. Very lame and extremely violent towards the end. Director Paul M. Glaser manages to turn the film into a mess without the assistance of three wishes. Shaquille O'Neal looks pitiful in that stupid clown outfit, and Capra does exactly as expected and arrives right where viewers will likely predict he will be by the film's end. Ally Walker is wasted as Capra's mother who is discouraged with regards to his father but loves her son, etc. His father is one of these guys who just doesn't know any better. Marshall Manesh plays a nightclub owner who shows interest in Kazaam as oppose to a superior script. The only area of compliment are perhaps the special effects, otherwise the film serves only as a showcase for O'Neal in a bunch of stupid action sequences and looking foolish in the process. This film should be kazammed into a campfire to see if it burns into something magical. Score: 1 / 10

Boy, this is one of the worst films I've seen. No wonder it's on IMDb's Bottom 100 list.I'll start off with the good parts: It did have some funny moments like the scene with the flying french toasts and the scene where Max and Kazaam are having a bicycle race.The bad parts: Everything else in this movie was boring and bad.Shaq as a genie is just plain awful. Beside's he can't even rap. In one scene, he's singing, "Let's Green Eggs and Ham it". Seriously? That's kinda like a 5-year old doing a rap song.The other character's weren't even that good. Max is annoying. The villain is not even that evil. Literally.Also, wasn't this suppose to be a family film? In one scene, Max say's, "So after my 2 last wishes, I own you?", then Kazaam say's, "Technically". Is it me, or is this film about slavery?Overall, "Kazaam", is an awful movie that's not even worth watching. But compare it to, "Batman and Robin", "Son of the Mask", or "Battlefield Earth", it's not that bad. So if you're looking for a good movie with a Genie in it, watch the Disney movie, "Aladdin". That film has a Genie that can sing and make you laugh. He is also voiced by Robin Williams. A "GOOD" actor.

Quite simply I want to say that this shouldn't be in the bottom 100 movies as voted by the users of IMDb. It is a great heart warming movie, perfect for the whole family. There are many many many other movies out there so much worse than this movie. It made me laugh and that's exactly what a good comedy should do.This movie was hilarious! A rapping genie who knows kung fu and lives in a boom box played by none other than Shaquille O'Neal, what more could you want in a comedy?! I mean sure some of it was cringe worthy and it's not exactly Oscar material, but overall it was a great laugh. Anyone who wants to dis this movie needs to lighten up a little. Shaq has the greatest sense of humor!
