One goof

I loved this film!! But I still thought it could have a better direction and acting. Great actors, but it seemed like they were making a student film. Using Arnold and Jamie to attract viewers was a low blow, and... Full review

I was REALLY starting to dislike Tom Arnold as an"ACTOR" and a person in general. But this movie made me think that ..just maybe he is not such a bad guy after all. It's fun, cute and sincere, and he... Full review

The result is an enjoyable family movie. In any event, it is difficult to imagine anyone but Spheeris pulling off this movie, undercutting all mawkishness, bringing to it nuance and shading, not to mention wit. ... Full Review

Reel.com
Whatever good will Arnold earned for his surprisingly fine performance in Happy Endings is quickly dispelled by the sheer ineptitude of his screenplay for The Kid & I, which manages to be cloying, insulting, and self-serving in equally dire measure. Sincere, well-intentioned, and unbearably cheesy, The Kid & I is an amateurish heart-tugger that's more of an elaborate public service announcement than a bona-fide film. ... Full Review

Film Journal International
With a bountiful music soundtrack that rarely stops for breath, The Kid & I spends some fun time sending up moviemaking Hollywood-style and the big-budget action genre with all its excesses. But on-screen fantasies, heart-wrenching vulnerabilities and upbeat good intentions aside, there's a cruel off-screen world of box-office realities that brought Sam and will bring The Kid crashing to earth. ...

Chicago Sun-Times
One tricky scene is handled especially well. The performance by Gores is so convincing that if he's an actor, it's an impressive achievement. I think the most honest strategy, having put my cards on the table, is to review the film on its own terms. ... Full Review
