Disney's The Kid

Summary: What are you gonna do with your life??!!
Review: Well, this movie has Bruce Willis starring in it, so from the very start, you know that it's definitely not going to be bad. This was the first Disney movie I've seen in a long time. It was strange to hear words like "jerk" and phrases such as "holy smokes" instead of the more commonly-used swearing we always hear in movies!

I liked the premise of the story, since I've often wished I could meet mini-me, so I went along to check it out.

I thought it was going just okay, until I started crying just that little bit! It really makes you think about your own life, and how being an adult can eliminate your dreams... if you let it. Sometimes you have to think about, and allow yourself to remember the negative events that occurred in your past, in order to get over it, forgive yourself and move on.

The kid wasn't annoying, so that was a bonus too! Brucey Baby, of course, was in amazing form. A great movie for the whole family, as they say!

Summary: Fine comic fantasy film by Disney.
Review: The Plot:An high powered businessman named Russ Duritz(Bruce Willis), an cold hearted man, who doesnt care about no one including his beautiful girlfriend(Emily Mortimer), she wants to be part of his life, but he doesnt want to and he also going to be 40 years old soon and he thinks he`s happy succesful man. Then one day, he see a young boy(Spencer Breslin in a wonderful performance). But the strangerst thing is that boy is his younger self, when he was 7 years old soon to be 8 years old. Younger Russ makes the older Russ, makes him try to remember his childhood and why so sad, after his childhood. Younger Russ tries to make Older Russ to rediscover the faith he had when he was a child, to change his life and his redemption.

DVD`s has an good anamorphic widescreen(1.85:1) transer. Also an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. Surprisingly Entertaining commentary track by director-Jon Turteltaub and actor-Spencer Breslin. 4 small behind the scenes featurette and an Conversation with the director. An good family film but there a warning for DVD players, i have a Sony DVD Player, it plays well there but on my another DVD Player Rca, doesnt play on All Rca DVD Players and some another DVD Players like Proscan, GE and maybe anothers, so be careful with this Falwed DVD.

Summary: Sorry but I can't agree
Review: This story has been done dozens of times over the centuries -- the hardened, cynical adult looks back over their life and has an epiphany. Stories like this and Dicken's "Christmas Carol" seem to me to drag the audience through a lot only to get them to an ending which we all know -- bad guy turns good. I much prefer the twist versions of the story, like "Harold and Maude" and "It's A Wonderful Life", wherein the protagonist is a more likeable character who comes to see how much they are liked and valued by others in the world. Saw this on a plane and I'm sure that hurt it a little but honestly I hated this movie.

Summary: Great Script-----So-so Director. But still worth your money.
Review: The story is funny and touching, Bruce Willis is Russ Duritz an image consultant who is about to turn 40 and he hasn't turned to be what he wanted when little, then from nowhere appears his younger self, Rusty who tells him the path he must follow to fulfill his dreams. Great script but in my opinion Jon Turteltaub shouldn't have directed this film, but he kinda did an OK job, I believe that his best movie is Instinct. Maybe Rob Reiner would have done better with "The Kid". Willis and the kid who played Rusty do a good job in the acting department and some supporting roles by Lily Tomlin and Jean Smart are really good.

Summary: No kidding, this is a good movie!
Review: Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) is a successful, but not so happy image consultant. Something might change for him when his 8-year-old self visits himself. That means that Russ gets to see what he was like when he was 8, but what could this lead to?

I've always thought that Bruce Willis was a great actor in all of his movies, especially when it comes to the action ones such as the Die Hard series. I don't know what kind of movie most people would put "The Kid" in, but I thought it was a mix between comedy and drama. Bruce Willis proved in "The Kid" that he can be just as great of a comedy actor as he can in action ("Die Hard") or any other kind of film such as "Mercury Rising" and "The Sixth Sense." There were several parts such as when Bruce Willis had a nervous breakdown, that had me laughing out of control.

Not only is "The Kid" a hilarious movie, it also has a sort of deeper meaning to it that I'll let you find out for yourself. I know in ways I wish I could see a younger version of myself and learn more about the ups and downs of my past that I don't remember. If you've got any kid left in you or if you just want to see a great movie, do yourself a favor and purchase "The Kid."

Summary: highly enjoyable with a great cast and realistic story!
Review: Disney's The Kid is a very real and original concept because almost any businessman in america could be Bruce Willis's character. DO NOT let the Disney logo stop you from watching this wonderful movie. It is fun and great at the same time. The acting was superb all around. bruce Willis is at his cometic finest and this is also one of his best performances. Spencer Breslin(the little boy) was fablous you could just see Bruce Willis being like that at eight. Lili Tomlin is as sacastic as ever and does her job to the "t." the perfromance that strikes you the most is Emily Mortimer. She has an amazing screne presence and the best chemistry with Bruce Willis I have ever seen. She even got to keep her acsent! This is the movie that will make her a star.(you may recognize her from Scream 3) She will make it in hollywood because she has a sweet, down to earth look that people just love. Disney's The Kid is great and a must see! A lot of people can identify with at least one of the characters. This is one for Adults and Children alike!

Summary: Barely watchable emotional comedy
Review: The movie starts off with Bruce Willis living a fast-paced lifestyle, and approaching his 40th birthday. He wakes up in the middle of the night to see a kid in his house. He recognizes the kid to be himself, 32 years ago! Willis is obviously hallucinating, but medications don't make the kid leave. The movie ends with an explanation of why the kid arrived in the first place, and once the reason is figured out, the kid leaves.
There are some comedic and emotional moments, but not quite enough to give this movie a higher than 3-star rating.

Summary: Spencer and Bruce good, but need different movie.
Review: Spencer Breslin and Bruce Willis are good together, but it is almost impossible to make an excellent movie out of this plot. They were using A Christmas Carol's plot, but did not even come close to the success of it. Spencer is hilarious about Bruce's job and about Bruce not having a dog, and Bruce is Bruce displaying his acting talents all over the screen, but this movie just did not live up to its wonderful predecessor, A Christmas Carol. It was actually an okay film, giving a good moral and displaying acting talent, but they didn't follow through all the way.

Summary: FABULOUS MOVIE
Review: This is a wonderful movie with humor heart and meaning. A very entertaining, imaginative story.

And (for once) CLEAN. No swearing, sex or vileness. And a very entertaining, imaginative story.

I loved it.
