Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Kazaam
Shaq plays an ancient genie named Kazaam who has been trapped in a boombox. He is mistakenly freed by a young boy, Max Connor. Kazaam must grant the boy three wishes. Somehow they allowed Shaq to rap (badly), and made this movie into a musical, fantasy, comedy, family, mixed up genre.
