Critics consensus

“Crafted from a mix of genre clichés, Kazaam doesn't know what kind of film it wants to be, and Shaq's larger-than-life charisma is stifled by rote filmmaking and an unimaginative story.”

It's marketing, not moviemaking.

In his Hollywood debut, Shaq more or less played himself as a coveted college center in William Friedkin's excellent Blue Chips. Kazaam is a compelling argument for keeping him on the court and as far away from a movie set as possible.

Shaquille isn't much of an actor, and "Kazaam" isn't much of a film.

Bad fantasy comedy is dated and materialistic; bullying.
