I'm just kind of amazed it exists:

you could at least praise it a little! or are you expecting us to do all the work for you?

It might be better than Steel.
(i've seen neither) (in fact, the only movie I've seen with Shaq in it is CB4)

has anyone here PAID to see this movie? in the theater or on video?

i havent seen it though! i've had a morbid curiosity about this movie for a long time, but never wanted to actually shell out cash to rent it.

Local library?

that would require effort (i.e. leaving the house)! i wish a rapping genie would come and grant me my request. a rapping genie who looked like....SHAQ

anyway, here's the imdb page for Kazaam. apparently not a very highly regarded film.

I've seen this movie. My friend's mom worked for a video distributor, and he always had free tapes that had something to the effect of "If you paid for this movie, call the FBI" flashing across the bottom of the screen every five minutes or so.
I don't remember much about it, other than that it was mildly entertaining. It's not destined to be some kind of classic of unintentional weirdness or anything like that. It's a kid's movie, and I've seen much, much, much worse.

I have a preview tape which a friend who worked at a video store nabbed for me a few years ago. it has two films on it, with the timecode stuff up in one corner so it couldn't be rented.

the two films featured are Trainspotting and Kazaam.
