ALADDIN (Theatrical Release Italy 1986)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì  Aladdin—a Bud Spencer Italian movie—sets this traditional story in a contemporary setting. It liberally uses the talents of Actor Bud Spencer and quickly becomes a small piece of light and fun entertainment. Bud Spencer adds the touch that gives this film its unique glow. The movie is neither great or truly creative, but it works.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images  Storyline  The Aladdin story is given a new treatment in a contemporary setting.  Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Bruno Corbucci for directing effort.

It is a good interpretation of the Aladdin story in a contemporary setting. The comedy scenes are on par with the personality in previously made films starring Bud Spencer.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
