I think the main reason for IMDb low score is because it's a french movie, im used to watching American movies in English because translation can remove a lot from a movie, worst in comedy, but this one i watched it in french so i have no clue if translation killed it. Another thing i know is : most English people don't really like french humor, it's subtle and i saw some show that was so subtle it wasn't funny at all. so that said, if you understand french and want an entertaining new aladin story go for it. i found most of the jokes funny and in good taste. Im certainly not some pro that know how directing and such work but i can certainly say that this movie is by far better than meet the spartan, epic movie, disaster movie and other low rated comedy. so, to resume : funny in french, don't be scared by biased ratings but don't go in expecting the best movie ever ... it's still just a family friendly comedy yet i think any age can enjoy it.

I liked the movie, it's fun and entertaining, but this movie is just for fun and not to be dramatic.

The movie is very similar to "Epic Movie", "Date Movie", "Disaster Movie" and etc.

It's fun and would definitely watch again.

This is one of the best comedies that I watched, really dont understand low rating? If good comedy for you is lot of laugh you should definitely watch this one.

Arthur Benzaquen and his technical team have created a wide-ranging, spectacular film, in which every shot conceals a crazy idea without disrupting the storyline. The film is rich in characters, who are well written and well cast. Jean-Paul Rouve, Vanessa Guide, Audrey Lamy, Eric Judor, Michel Blanc, Kev Adams - the whole menagerie is perfect. Not forgetting Arthur Benzaquen himself.

The cavern sequence with its musical tiling is an excellent idea and a clever pastiche of Indiana Jones. The flying carpets are perfect, thanks to digital technology. It's rhythmic. It's spectacular. And it's fun. It's a success in its genre.

Kev Adams is the carefree, venal hero. Jean-Paul Rouve as the bad guy who knows he's bad. Vanessa Guide and Audrey Lamy play characters who add mischief and twists. The whole cast makes a well-balanced contribution to the peregrinations of Adalin Kev Adams, who isn't the most interesting character, but fortunately all the others are, with their humor and contribution to the story.

As every parody, it is nice. Because it is embroidery of cultural references, old story in new details frame, easy performances and precise spoons of romance. And nothing more. You know each scene and the end is clear from the first scenes. So, nice is the fair definition.
