I'm not sure where to begin. Kazaam's very Swedish, very Ikea flat-pack. It's been put together completely wrong and has poor structural integrity. Eventually the entire thing collapses - for me it was the point where Max the white boy starts rapping with Shaq, and being me I just can't bare watching cringeworthy shit like that. I felt it has holes that needed filling too. Like, oh I don't know. Insert an interesting simile here. Swiss cheese. For example Max has a school friend but he only appears like twice in the whole film - it felt as if he deserved a bigger part. Max's dad didn't have a big enough story. I thought the antagonist Arab guy didn't get…

It's 3am, I am super tired and wanted an early night. Instead I decided to watch Shaq play a rapping genie in a film which was so incredibly bad that my rectum started to pulsate. What is wrong with me?

Shaquille O'Neal was not only a huge basketball star in the 1990's but much like Michael Jordan, perhaps even more so do to his always entertaining interviews seemed to have unlimited crossover appeal. Two years earlier Shaq was in Blue Chips and had a good enough showing for himself so with that unlimited crossover potential Shaq was cast as Kazaam, a larger then life genie.
Shaq hams it up pretty good here and lets face it this is a kids movie so that is all that is expect of him, no one ever thought they were going to get a great performance here and were probably more then happy with what they got from the basketball superstar.
Its pretty obvious…

So bad it's hysterical!

-Andy on Parks and RecThat's one thing I would love to see Andy cross off his bucket list.

The movie has a certain appeal for just HOW bad it is, but it's largely unwatchable. Just one bad decision after another.
