Iznogoud

2005 · 95 min

Silly, cartoonish scheming that stays light and fast, with jokes landing more often than any of the plots do.

Overview: In Baghdad the Magnificent reigns Haroun al Plassid, who is the Caliph. There also dwells Iznogoud, who wants to be the Caliph. The irascible Grand Vizier hatches plot after plot to remove his ruler and take his place—melting Djinn, invisibility spell, cursed diamond, voodoo doll… But no amount of cunning or obstinacy can make up for sheer, hilariously bad luck.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, power, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
