Very funny and genuinely insightful family movie.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 22, 2002
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2001
Insufferably cloying and sickly sweet for anyone with the least intolerance to 'find the inner child' saccharinity.

Never really sparks much insight beyond the implied simplistic homily: 'You're never too old to change.'
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
The intriguing idea of The Kid is squandered with a simple-minded story line that never meaningfully scratches the surface of questions most people ask themselves.

So eager to please it ends up falling all over itself, The Kid could have used the more evenhanded touch Wells displayed in directing Guinevere.

Warm-hearted and effective.

Bruce Willis deserves full props.

A dishonest baby-boomer melodrama of inner-selfness.

By rights The Kid should be dreadful. Surprisingly enough, it often soars to heights of not bad.

Disney's The Kid is a better movie than it has any right to be.

Why am I sick to my stomach?
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
It's not the big movie of summer 2000 that everyone's been waiting for, but it's solid, if ultimately uninspired, July entertainment.
