Aladdin

But, if you look at this film the other way around, the 1986 "update" is interestingly strange and hilarious enough to deserve a good viewing. Although parents may get peeved over its occasionally crude content to show to their children, I reckon they'll still giggle over it anyway! Who cares if it isn't Disney? Of the thousands of Aladdins in the world today, this one is the most unusual version around.

I saw this yesterday on TV. It's not your usual "Alladdin", but more of a Bud Spencer (sans Terence Hill) flick really. It plays like a B movie, with some awkward acting, specially from the villains. There's even some really politically incorrect stuff for the kids.

Bud is as cool as ever, the boy is okay, and that drunk grandpa manages to be annoying and funny at the same time. I had fun watching this, but then again I really like Bud and Terence stuff.

You can expect a lot of staged fights, clumsy acting, weird stuff going on and lots of continuity/logic errors. But who cares?

I give this a 7 out of 10 on a good day.

Loved The Movie I Brought Back Many Memories Of Miami Beach...

Is this the Ziploc Bag guy playing the Genie? Anyway, this whole movie is like an LSD trip where bizarre stuff just happens to this really geeky kid, and he has this fat genie to help him out. All this, of course, amid truly horrible acting, special effects and dialogue. It's so bad, though, it's funny. So buy it if you see it at a bargain basement bin. It'll only set you back a buck anyway.

I don't get how this movie has such a high rating... it's AWFUL! The film quality is HORRIFIC, the cinematography is ABYSMAL, the plot is RIDICULOUS, and the ACTING? Ugh... There are no words... By the time I was maybe 10 minutes in, they'd already broken almost EVERY Djin rule out there! You get 3 wishes - broken - etc... This movie also included swearing, which for a "family movie" which is what I assume this is, Aladdin movies usually are, I don't think is very appropriate! I recommend avoiding!
