Aladdin, a good-hearted rogue who survives by stealing in the alleys of Agrabah, sees his luck change when he finds an old lamp in a cave that frees a joking Genie able to grant him three wishes. As he courts Princess Jasmine while dreaming of being more than he seems, the ambitious grand vizier Jafar covets that same lamp to seize the throne. Guy Ritchie delivers a live-action version of the animated Disney classic, a flashy, colorful musical with Will Smith bringing an overwhelming Genie to life.
