Rating: Summary: KP the Movie!!! Review: Unlike the creators of "the Simpsons" who are only getting to work and a film now that the show is in decline, Disney has put out a KP flick while it's still the top show on their channel. While made for TV and running little more than an hour, "A Sitch in Time" may not be an epic, it is however a great little treat for all the Kimmy cub fans out there.The plot which involves time travel is surprisingly good. Alot of backstory absent from even the earliest episodes of the show is covered in the film, my favourite being Kim in braces trying out for the cheer squad and then going on her first mission. There are also some funny future scenes. The film kinda can be compared to the old "Batman" movie, as it has taken the same path of teaming up the shows major villains against Kim for the movie. It was also good to see Shego finally take over as we always new she was always the smartest aswell as toughest of all Kims foes. The DVD is quite stunning. The film is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound! The picture is amazingly crisp, with rich colors that no mere TV transmission could ever compete with. Extras are a little slim, but I wasn't expecting directors commentary or a behind the scenes featurette, when I got the DVD. The shear excellence in Audio/Visual presentation alone makes the disc worthwhile. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a great final showdown between Kim and Shego as I've always considered their fight scenes to be the highlight of the show and love Nicole Sullivan's voice work (she is just as funny in all her live action work, very cute too). Also the movies soundtrack is some rather plain pop songs, rather than the catching musical score from the show. Overall a great little purchase! PS To the hater calling him/herself "dreldarion" who wrote the review below, a small word of advice: if you're going to write a sarcastic review, by logic it should contain at least a little hummour and you're just not funny at all.
Rating: Summary: I think it is a TV movie Review: When "A Sitch in Time" aired on Disney Channel in late 2003, they advertised it as an "original TV movie" so I don't believe it was three old episodes repurposed. I've only seen about a dozen episodes myself, but my 6-year-old daughter has seen a lot more and she said she had never before seen the story of "Sitch in Time." Regardless, it's a fun romp back and forth in time for Kim, and grownups (like me) will enjoy the inside humor as they watch. It's a treat that this is coming to DVD already, but I'm still waiting for the complete-season boxed sets!
