Review
"A welcome antidote to the usual brooding DC fare, an upbeat superhero movie that feels young at heart."--Newsday"'Shazam!' is just a lightning bolt of unexpected joy that is certainly worth your time and money."--Associated Press"Levi is a delight in the central role, hilariously conveying the goofy adolescent within the strapping body of his musclebound superhero."--Hollywood Reporter

Summary
Everybody has a superhero inside of them; it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word, this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into an adult superhero, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart, inside a ripped, godlike body, he revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! But he'll need to master these powers quickly to fight the deadly forces of evil
