The one overriding thought I had whilst watching Shazam is that it was a film I would have loved when I was 8-14 years old.

The film follows Billy (Asher Angel) who is a teenager searching for his long lost mother. He is placed with a family who look after several other children in a foster home. One of his new brothers Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) has an interest in superheroes and Billy soon unlocks his own superhero Shazam (Zachery Levi). The story lines are pretty easy to follow and the humour is very adolescent. Fairly certain we will not be seeing this movie appearing in any oscar lists next year. Having said that it's a pretty easy watch and entertaining enough. Sure it's a film which I would have adored if I were 10 years old though.
