The Kid The Man The Girl,oh and don't forget Chester !
Feb 12, 2007
Benjamin Wolfe - imdb.com
Now for sure, this is one of the lightest-hearted stories that Bruce Willis has been in to date and yet,-- it is still touching. I really like Bruce's style and persona, I haven't loved everything he has ever been in,... Full review

When we were very young we all had an idea on what we would have and be when we grow up. But for some people once it happens, we tend to forget or betray that ideal somewhere around the line... Full review

When this movie was shown on television, it wasn't announced as "Disney's The Kid", but just as "The Kid", a movie with Bruce Willis, and that's probably a good thing. I'm pretty sure I would never have taped it if... Full review

The Kid is a really good family movie about a stuffy image consultant, Russ Duritz, who has lots of money, a good job, nice house, etc. The only problem is he doesn't have much of a social life as nobody... Full review

I have been always wondering "Can one truly explain the meaning of life in less than two hours?" And here I got the answer after watching this movie for 3 times. This is certainly one of the greatest films I've... Full review

I saw this on a plane. You know, you are strapped to a chair and forced to watch whatever garbage they put up there.And I have to say I actually had fun. Some scenes are sugary and over the top... Full review
From a perspective that it is possible to make movies that are not offensive to people with strong moral values, this one is definitely worthwhile. This is the second Bruce Willis film in a row that manages to tell its... Full review
A surprisingly good movie; better than "Armageddon"

At first glance, I thought "The Kid" was a cheesy, patheticchildren's movie because of its PG rating. But, when I viewed, Ihad to eat my words. "The Kid" is one enjoyable movie! BruceWillis stars in probably his first Disney movie... Full review

The Kid - At 39 years old Russel Duritz has a life that most men would envy - he has a great job, is respected (and feared), has a beautiful house and makes buckets of money. But everything comes at... Full review

When the first trailer for this film was viewed by myself, I was curious as to what angle the storyline would take. After all the plot of having one's childhood self return to the present leaves open many options. Bruce... Full review

Like Tom Hank's Big , this film plays better than it sounds. Disney branded it Disney's The Kid to make sure everyone knows this Willis film is family-friendly. It's as if composer Marc Shaiman (My Giant ) was told make it like E.T . ... Full Review

Others are so sluggishly paced that the film becomes boring. And in all honesty, the absolute worst thing about the movie may be Marc Shaiman's naggingly insistent score, which telegraphs each cloying moment before the scene even starts. ... Full Review

In retrospect, the misguided score might have been all that needed to be modified for a mediocre film to be a good one.....As Amy, Russ' potential love interest, Emily Mortimer (2000's "Scream 3") sparkles.....At every turn, "Disney's The Kid" screams out for that special, gentle touch....stands out in her few scenes, Tomlin is honestly too good to be wasting her time in throwaway parts like this.....Acquiring a troubling headache is another story altogether.... ...

OH, GROW UP Bruce Willis tries to undo unhappy childhood in time-bending comedy `Disney's The Kid' They could have used a lot more Lily Tomlin in ``Disney's The Kid,'' starring Bruce Willis as a stressed-out image consultant to celebrities and Tomlin as his obedient but amusingly caustic assistant. ...

Scary Movie killed all comers. No kidding. The Wayans brothers' raunchy horror spoof scored a humongous estimated gross of $42.5 million. Saved by its controversial R rating, the low-budget sex-and-slasher comedy was able to reach the youth audience it targeted. ... Full Article

This being Disney's "The Kid," look out that he doesn't walk off with yours as well. In his Kevin Spacey-est role yet, Willis plays Russell Duritz, a Los Angeles image consultant who cruises around town concocting bogus but salable personas ... Full Article
