What Parents Need to Know
About Catch That Kid
Parents need to know that this movie has some crude humor and schoolyard language. Characters are in peril, including a car chase scene that might be too intense for younger children. Some children may also be upset when Maddy's father is paralyzed. The real parental concern, however, is the movie's apparent endorsement of lying, cheating, stealing, manipulation, and irresponsible behavior.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what made Maddy decide that it was all right for her to steal from the bank. How did she consider the risks and the benefits? A famous study several years ago found that when presented with a question like the one Maddy faced -- should you steal in order to get medical treatment for a family member -- boys were more likely to say yes and girls were more likely to say no. Why do you think that might be? Families could also talk about the lies Maddy tells and the lie her mother tells.

This could have been a great movie
The movie starts mildly interesting, but turns really lame with poor acting and the really bad message of "robbing banks," which is portrayed as being OK. Some few cool spots are dominated by the lame ones. Spend your money elsewhere!

Worst dvd ever and such a poor message
What a waste of good suspense for kids. The heroes lie, steal and use (sex) to get what they want...the girl tells both of her best boy friends that she likes each one secretly so they will help her rob a bank. In the end, they are about to get busted when the girl's mom LIES and said that she had hired them to break into the vault at her bank to prove it wasn't safe. Not only do the kids get out of trouble with the police, they don't even get scolded at home. Plus, the bank pays them $50,000 for showing it their security flaws, while they absolutely knew the truth was that they were stealing the money. This is the first review I have ever written because I was so disappointed that anyone would make a kids film with such a poor message in it.

Not a good movie!
Bad movie...no good laughs or anything. Also, it teaches kids that you can lie and cheat and get away with it and that robbing banks is ok, which just isn't a good message. I wouldn't suggest seeing this movie at all.

Bad message
Stealling tons of a banks money and haveing your mom stick up for you is terrible. These kids never got into trouble for breaking all the banks security!
- I rate this title off for age 11 and give it
Poor values and message
This is a movie that sends the message that you can do the wrong thing, make bad choices, risk your life and the lives of others and in the end all will be ok. Terrible message for kids.
