yes and kazaam be one of those horribly bad movie that almost remind one of everything that be wrong with not just kid movie and but with humanity . here we have shaq a a rap genie yes and a rapping genie where he do everything from make bad pun to dress in ridiculous outfit and all end in him in a christ like pose with lot of light surround him . so and yeah and expect really cheesy bit and include the first wish be a lot of junk food fall down from the sky ( and and regrettably and not knock out the two main character and particularly the kid ) . what might not be expect be that a film with a kid and shaquille oneill would be so incredibly schmaltzy . the main plot of the film involve this kid and play in that all too typical and annoy kid fashion by the great grandson of frank capra ( where in which the kid be yell out his dialog angrily ) and who come upon a genie who be trap in a boom box . then hiarity ensues a the kid make the shaq genie his quasi slave a he wait on his last two wish a he try to make amends with his shady gang type absentee father . this really sappy and contrived son and father story would be bad enough and a there be certain line that have be utter in a million other movie ( i. e. the two chance in life speech from father to son ) . but it shaquille oneill who be both the reason to watch the film ( ironically ) and and the obvious sinking crux of it all . his plot line involve him and when not get the over talky treatment from capra and to rap within the dialog and also start off his blossom record career . on top of this and he also kick as and take name with the main bad guy who want him back in the boom box . so be there a camp factor to the movie . up to a point and but this be even squash by all of the mushy scene and heart felt moment that have really no business with the rest of the material . one might ask if the people make the movie and who be obviously do it at the behest of the popularity of a basketball player who want to go on the michael jordan act bandwagon and if it would be anywhere near decently entertain or convince . i would hope that they too know they be just get pay . but i would hope even more that they felt at least a little guilty afterwords for feed the shaq machine . so and if you want to have a fun night of shaq a genie turn rapper turned wisecracker and all the more fun to you . hell and it might even be interest to have a shaq movie night with this and his other critically acclaim effort steel . but if youre hop to keep a few brain cell and stay away from what be very likely the bad flick of 1996 and and a candidate among many others for bad of the 90 .
