The movie is decidedly old-fashioned, aiming to send kids and their parents out of the theater feeling good about themselves.

38Is Kazaam racist? In effect, yes. But it'sracism linked to bad marketing: You can't really mix a black-pride rap film with a revamped version of "Free Willie" and expect them to magically jibe.

38As for Shaquille O'Neal, given his own three wishes the next time, he should go for a script, a director and an interesting character.
