Disney's The Kid Reviews
Surprising & interesting movie.
This is really a great movie.
I must confess, up front, to being a grudging Bruce Willis admirer and fan. I don't want to be, but can't help myself. I think it dates back to his Moonlighting days.
Anyway, friends recommended this movie, so we rented it. My husband, two sons (ages 9 and 13) and I watched it & loved it! So for my sons recent birthday (and as an excuse to add this to our growing DVD collection!) I purchased the movie for him.
Bruce Willis is terrific in this movie. He's an almost likeable cad up front, who by the end of the movie has transformed himself and learned some serious life lessons. The movie makes you think, it makes you laugh, and it even made me shed a few tears! The actors do a very good job, and I loved that they gave Jean Smart a small but significant part in the movie. The boy who plays Rusty does a really nice job.
Having viewed the movie twice now, there were twists & turns and nuances that I caught the second time that I hadn't initially. I love when movies do that. Missing those things the first time didn't hinder my enjoyment of the movie, but catching them the second time did help me understand a few things more fully. Either way, both times the movie was fantastic.
I highly recommend it to everyone...not just folks with kiddies!
A+++
There's a little kid in all of us!
I went to see 'The Kid' for Bruce. Not to say that the idea behind 'The Kid' didn't interest me it's just that I'm not too big into Disney movies. Regardless, Bruce led me to it so I must follow. I have to admit, upon walking out of the theater I was touched in a way not to many movies touch me. I wasn't emotional because it was depressing and I wasn't outraged because it was upsetting. I was personally touched at the beautiful message this film conveys.
Bruce Willis (The Sixth Sense) plays Russ, a cynical tyrant sort-of-speak, a man that is so uncomfortable with affection that he rejects it even from the ones that love him the most. He's so deeply haunted by his childhood that he hides behind a rough exterior in order never to be hurt again. That's all until he meets himself. I should say he meets his 8-year-old self.
Throughout the remainder of the film the two Russ's try and figure out why Rusty (Spencer Breslin) was sent to Russ (Willis). Uncovering that reason will eventually lead to Russ coming to grips with his life and his past and hopefully making a much needed adjustment, whatever that may involve. The supporting cast is wonderful as well, Lily Tomlin (A Prairie Home Companion) perfectly casted as the witty sarcastic secretary Janet, and Emily Mortimer (Match Point) is delightful as Amy, the friend and co-worker who falls in love with the man Russ could be. A wonderfull film about finding ourselves for better or worse.
