I brought this movie home for my nine year old son to watch and ended up watching it with him. The acting and story line is good, and expect for a few bad special effects at the end (the flying carpet scenes are a little rough) it was a really good movie. (It helps that the princess in the movie is easy on the eyes..). A good rental choice. Four Stars.

I gave this movie 1 star because it was not original at all. It was a bad sequal to a good movie. Younger kids however could enjoy it and it does star a great role model of an actor. If you have youngsters they will probably enjoy it but 9 and older will probably not enjoy it as much.

I'm 18 and I love this movie every time I watch it. Yes, the plot as well as the script are extremely corny and cheesy and the actress who plays the princess loks old enough to be in her thirties, but it is an entertaining movie nonetheless. It portrays a nice adventure for anyone wishing to get away from the troubles of life for a while and return later. It's a great modern Aladdin story as was said in another review and I recommend it to anyone, espcially in my generation.

(from a 6 year old's perspective:)Bad Guys in Black - Good guys in White....cool special effects & a princess to fall in love with...."The kid" is totally the hero of the flick, and my 6 year old son and friend were completely enthralled....soooo much is targeted toward girls (princess bride/bratz/powder puff girls/kim possible, etc) that it is NICE to find Traditional Hero Movies that my son can dig his teeth into.....inspired by this one, we bought the "arthur's court", and am guessing it will be even better....am sorry this was the end of the series...Bottom Line: 6-8 year old boys will LOVE this movie...

You could say this is the Citizen Kane of camel air biscuit movies. Beautifully photographed by Wally Pfister (BATMAN BEGINS) in the same locations where Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed, this lighthearted sequel to A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT, should not be missed. Please buy many copies often. The writer has 5 kids and needs the residuals.

I felt soo completly compelled to write a review here, after seeing those sad reviews. Come on folks this is a fun, cute kids movie, adults can enjoy as well. Very good for an all-around family movie to watch together.

This movie is funny mixed with action and if you buy it you'll love it. It is a great movie for anyone and the family.

Given that the special effects are questionable this movie is quite good. The main characters are likeable and the plot is interesting enough. If you are in the mood for action filled or classic, this isn't for you, but if you are in the mood for an amusing and cheesy movie this is wonderful!

Calvin Fuller (Thomas Ian Nicholas) thinks his life is back to normal. His biggest problem is getting noticed by the girl of his dreams. He has gotten a job as a delivery boy for the local pizza place, where he works every day after school.

But that's just how he finds himself in another adventure. Hundreds of years before, Aladdin (Aharon Ipale) faced a threat to his throne from his brother Luxor (James Faulkner). Before Luxor curses Aladdin, Aladdin sends the Genie on a quest. And when the Genie (Taylor Negron) shows up in the pizzeria looking for "The Deliverer," he thinks Calvin is the guy.

Before he knows it, Calvin finds himself back in ancient Arabia where he must team up with Ali Baba (Nicholas Irons) and the three thieves as well as Aladdin's beautiful daughter Sheherazad (Rhona Mitra) to retrieve the Genie from the cave of wonders without letting Luxor get his hands on the lamp. Can they do it?

This is one of those mildly amusing movies that is rather harmless but not overly entertaining. The story started rather slowly and predictably, but once it got into the second half, I was hooked. The acting is passable, but certainly not praise worthy. And the special effects are fairly obvious most of the time but they work.

I think my biggest complaint is that Calvin seemed to have learned nothing from the first movie. I was hoping to see a little character growth. But he started the movie too nervous to do what he really wanted to do again.

Don't rush out and get this movie. But if you are bored, it will certainly help you pass an hour and a half rather painlessly.

This sequel to the disney movie "Kid in King Arthur's Castle" is as pointless a sequel as Son of the mask. This is really a disney ripoff. The lamp looks the same as Disney's aladdin. The part that gets me confused. If the lamp vanished like 80,000 years ago. How would it end up in a pizza place. Don't waste your money on this stupid movie.
