Movie Review: Great Family Movie, Full of laughs and Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Movie, with many belly laughs and fun for the whole family.Movie Review: Funny Disney Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
Sam Simms (Sinbad) is an unorthodox Secret Service agent. The Secret Service assigns Agent Simms to protect the President's son, Luke Davenport (Brock Pierce of "Might Ducks"), code named Prince. Luke has managed to dispose of several previous Secret Service agents by driving them crazy, including Agent Woods (Timothy Busfield of "Thirtysomething" and "The West Wing").
The movie tries to portray Luke as a child ignored by his famous mother and father and unable to have a normal childhood. Though I empathize with Luke a little, he also generally acts wimpy. However, thirteen-year-old Luke has stirrings of normality as he gains a huge crush on classmate Katie Warren (Erin Williby in her final role) and has a run-in with the class bully. After the run-in with class bully Rob (Zachery Ty Bryan), Luke and Agent Simms begin to bond, and this movie really takes off.
Much of the movie is humorous, as it was intended to be. Most of the humor works, making this movie generally enjoyable. Sinbad steals the show, as you might expect. Sinbad mixes slapstick and one-liners that only occasionally clunk. Sinbad makes Luke Davenport look good and sparks life into the plot.
As with many Disney movies of this type, there are serious undertones. The movie becomes most serious near the end when Luke Davenport runs away from the White House and encounters a life threatening situation. Secret Service agents are in a panic as they try to locate the President's son. Fortunately, Agent Simms, just fired from the Secret Service for aiding Luke in going to a school dance, has a way of finding Luke that only Agent Simms knows about. The end of this movie is nicely plotted and enjoyable to watch.
I enjoyed watching Sinbad in this movie. Sinbad's comedy was generally fun, and he handles himself well. Most of the cast did very well. I would have replaced Luke Davenport with another actor, or would have had him perform with more confidence in school. Luke Davenport ran rings around the Secret Service and yet he was unable to keep from embarrassing himself. The plot was agreeable, with an action ending that provided a nice capstone to the comedy. There is some mild violence that generated a PG rating, but this movie should be suitable for most family members down to about age 7 or 8. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Good flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
First Kid is yet another Sinbad laugh-riot. It's not as funny as Houseguest, but First Kid is nevertheless worth a look.Sinbad stars as a Secret Service agent assigned to look after the Luke, the juvenile son of the president of the United States. Sinbad attends grammar school with Luke, to ensure the Luke's safety.
Anyway, several of the other kids pick on Luke because they think Luke is a snobby punk. E.g., in one of the scenes, Zachary Ty Bryan (from Home Improvement) shot a spitball through a straw, hitting Luke in the head. However, Sinbad got even with Zachary - he later shot a huge spitball (about as big as a mini-basketball) through a huge tube at Zachary. It hit Zachary in the face, nearly knocking him out of his seat! I almost lost it when I watched that scene! It was gut-bustingly funny! That scene alone is worth the price of this DVD!
Movie Review: Just Good Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this movie is a good family movie- it's got some funny gags that kids will like- the only warning I would give is it does have a little violence so I'm not sure it would be good for a young child but overall I think it was worth buying .Movie Review: First Kid - with Sinbad
Summary: 4 Stars
The Brock Pierce that played the first kid wasn't really the best and the Zachery Ty Bryan from home improvments sucked because Brock Pierce really kind of suck in his acting. But with Sinbad it made it a ok to kind of good movie.
