Guys... Kazam> Space Jam... honestly... I don't know why this movie isn't as loved as it should be... it's actually a fun movie that I was happy to just sit down and enjoy.
So I found out that this was considered a bad movie a few years ago when it was featured on the podcast How Did This Get Made... and I was like "What? This wasn't a bad movie at all. Why is it on this podcast." And then I heard them review it and I was like "maybe this was a bad movie." But I still stood by it... when the movie Shazam came out- I thought it was a remake of Kazam... which it wasn't- but that was still a good movie too... but not the same as Kazam. And I actually remember seeing this movie in theaters as a kid. I got really nostalgic when Kazam and Max sang "We ain't men, We Genie." And that was the first time I remember hearing "We Genie" instead of "we're genie"... it was kind of funny.
So nostalgia aside- I didn't actually remember very much of the movie itself- so I feel like I was only slightly biased on that front because I did hear it was a bad movie and... I said to my boyfriend "Watch me be wrong and this movie is actually bad." But no. It wasn't... it was actually a really fun movie with a pretty sweet story about a kid trying to accept his parents divorce and his new stepdad. His dad has a weird shady piracy business that didn't make much sense... but I think he did want to be a better for his kid and... Max really loved him and I think that meant something to him. So... it was pretty sweet.
Alright- as weird as this movie is... it is on Disney Plus now and it's a good movie that wouldn't have worked with any actor other than Shaquille O'neil and it wouldn't have worked any other time than the 90s... It's just a good one if you don't want to fully invest in a movie but you wouldn't mind if you found yourself actually caring about the movie and getting invested in the characters.
Bye!
