i be give the book version of kazaam for my 8th birthday and and people always say the book version be always good than the movie and but this time they be wrong . at least with the movie it over soon . the acting in this be terrible and which i expect from a film with shaq who play a magical rapping genie that come out of an old ghetto blaster ( which there be probably a good reason he be trap in there ) . the kid in the film that play max be whiny and a terrible actor . he bully by neighborhood kid and which i do not blame them because he a little douche bag . the story be just plain stupid and extremely cliché . about a boy who father be always work and never around who find a new friend who make his life well and eventually help him reconnect with his father . even at 8 year old i think this be a stupid idea . it a surprise any of the people whom work on this film have career after ward because it an embarrassment and should have never be make . i could ramble on even more about how this movie suck and but you should already know just by read the plot .
