Movie Reviews of Catch That KidMovie Review: M:I, Jr.! Summary: 5 Stars
13-year-old Maddy (Kristen Stewart) is a devoted climber of anything high enough to pose a challenge--perhaps a normal hobby, considering that her father (Sam Robards) climbed Mount Everest some years ago. Her two best friends are Gus (Max Thieriot), a mechanic who can make go-karts do things they're not intended for, and Austin (Corbin Bleu), a computer whiz and would-be filmmaker. Gus's big brother Brad (Stark Sands) calls them all losers, but he has no idea how wrong he is. When an old Everest injury flares up and leaves Maddy's father paralyzed, and her mother (Jennifer Beals) is unable to float a loan for experimental treatment in Europe, Maddy makes up her mind to steal the required $250,000 ("We'll pay it back," she insists) from the bank whose automated security system Molly has recently designed, and Gus and Austin promptly offer to help. With the use of clever high-tech devices, go-karts, and addy's climbing gear, they mount their assault--and, possibly because they're too young to really know how impossible such a job is, they even succeed, after enough close calls to keep viewers of all ages on the edge of their seats. There's also a delightful surprise ending that ties everything up perfectly (no, you'll have to watch the movie--I'm not telling!). Michael des Barres as Brisbane, the president of the despoiled bank, will remind older watchers of Roddy McDowall in some of his slimier roles. Viewers of the Spy Kids trilogy should find this fast-moving YA adventure exactly to their taste, and adults can enjoy it just as much as their kids can.
Summary of Catch That KidGet ready for an exciting, high-stakes adventure with Maddy, Gus and Austin: three kids on a top-secret mission! They?re close friends, each with special talents: a champion rock climber, a computer genius and a mechanical whiz specializing in high-speed go-carts. Their challenge: to crack a high-tech bank vault and pull off the biggest heist their homeroom has ever seen --all to save Maddy's ailing Dad! They may have a plan that?s foolproof, but they?re not even old enough to drive!
