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

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

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Is 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.

Entertainment Weekly -
It takes the movie all of 15 minutes to descend into sub-Spielbergian banalities about poor Max's search for his absentee dad.

Los Angeles Times -
The odd truth is that the film's novice star is better than the material.
