You know a movie's in trouble when it's titled 'Aladdin' and you're reminded of 'The Cheetah Girls'.

The most notable aspect of Guy Ritchie’s “Aladdin” is that it doesn’t hit the ground running more so than it goes jogging. A lot of things happen in the movie, as it did in the original 1992 animated film, but it surprisingly lumbers towards the finish line, picking up steam in moments where it should charge ahead.

A large majority of late 20 to early 30 somethings will have most likely experienced the popular 1992 film and its subsequent cartoon TV series during their youth. It is thus difficult to see this movie carry itself as a whole when it is unwilling to ditch the nostalgic feel. Massoud’s introverted new take on the titular character is intriguing though he seems to work better when he’s bouncing off other actors. A particularly hilarious scene where he awkwardly tries to woo the Princess masquerading as Prince Ali showcases Massoud’s potential as a popular future comic lead.

Think Broadway imitating Bollywood captured by a filmmaker who is unsure of how to frame a musical. You know a movie’s in trouble when it’s titled “Aladdin” and you’re reminded of “The Cheetah Girls”.
