Warner Bros.' latest superhero movie, 'Shazam!' is powered by its kid-friendly story.

"Shazam!" is one of the best times you'll have at the movies this year."Why couldn't that movie have been more fun?"

Warner Bros.' latest DC Comics adaptation looks at the teen boy who turns into an adult superhero with Superman-like abilities when he says the magic word,"Shazam." And with a tone that's a mix of coming-of-age classics like"Big" and"The Goonies," you should get ready for a fun time. Asher Angel has a great combination of vulnerability and swagger in the role of Billy Baston, the boy who gets the power to turn into Shazam. Billy has run away from numerous foster homes around Philadelphia as he tries to track down his mother. At the latest home he's brought to, he befriends his new foster brother, Freddy Freeman, played by"It" star Jack Dylan Glazer. Like in"It," Glazer is a major scene stealer playing Shazam's sidekick.
