it wasn't that bad

Kazaam is an alright movie and isn't that bad. It doesn't deserve to be rated so low and in the bottom 100. It was decent. The movie starts out a little shaky but it gets better. The acting in the movie is kinda bad and the plots are very predictable but it was still okay. I'll admit that Shaq's acting is bad and he should stick to rapping and the NBA, the other characters acting weren't that awful.

The movie has a nice fell to it while watching, the scenes and designs are cool. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when Max is talking to Kazaam and Kazaam tells him that he has 3 wishes, so Max wishes that it would rain burgers and fries. That part was funny and cool. I also liked the ending in the movie.

Id recommend this movie

Trivia
This film was a critical and financial disaster, but Shaquille O'Neal has not expressed regret for his involvement. He said in a 2012 interview, "I was a medium-level juvenile delinquent from Newark who always dreamed about doing a movie. Someone said, 'Hey, here's $7 million, come in and do this genie movie.' What am I going to say, no? So I did it."

Goofs
Even though the movie is based in Brooklyn, while Max is talking with his dad in the car, you see a bus with Red and Orange stripes roll by. Buses in New York have blue stripes. Red and Orange were the colors of the Metro buses in Los Angeles in the early to mid-1990s.
