A young boy, Billy, is troubled by
moving from foster parent to foster
parent until he finds a family
with another foster child who is
disabled. His new ‘brother’ asked
him, “if you could have any super
power, what would it be?” Billy
says, “Flying.”
Bullying at school and in subways
on the way home persists.
While on the subway, Billy has
a supernatural experience. He
realizes something is happening
to him, and as the subway doors
automatically open he sees a
whole new world. It appears to be
a dark underworld. There a sage
type centurian convinces Billy to
‘take the torch’ and then humorously
forces Billy to say the word:
“SHAZAM”.
Billy goes through a metamorphosis
of sorts and suddenly he
is a muscular thirty year old with
a new set of digs to wear. Billy is
now dressed as SHAZAM and in
disbelief, he races home to show
his new brother!
And so their adventure together
begins. Or should we say the
learning curve begins?
Billy smashed through a concrete
barrier to learn he has super
strength. The next thing he learns
is that his dream has come true
and SHAZAM can fly! He also has
electricity that can shoot out from
his fingertips. Billy enjoys shooting
at peoples’ cell phones in the mall
saying, “Your phone is charged!”
The humor and adventure continues
when he and his brother are
in a store while it is being robbed.
SHAZAM is shot at by the robbers,
but the bullet is just repelled off his
chest and he shouts, “I am bulletproof!”
SHAZAM is a fun movie to watch
and light-hearted in nature. Take
the whole family to see it! You will
have a fun day adventuring and
reminiscing about the film as your
day slides by.
