Review of The Kid

The Kid (2000)
6/10
Willis and Spencer save it
27 October 2005
Bruce Willis is Russell Duritz a wealthy and popular image consultant who apparently needs to get in touch with his inner child, or rather the kid he was decades and decades ago. Luckily said kid (Spencer Breslin) shows up out of the blue one day to help his older self out. Filled with saccharine sweet moments and female characters that come off as ditsy morons. Willis and little Breslin single handedly shave this film from being completely unwatchable Bruce through sheer charm and personality alone and Spencer with his "Aw schucks" factor. Although it's still not a very good film, Disney DID drop the ball when it came to advertising the film which led to it not being as popular as it could have been if properly marketed.

My Grade: C+
