This is one of those movies where when you say I'm just going to sit down and see the begining of it, you CANT. After watching it 5 times I really came to my senses and decided to write a review. First of all I must say that nobody could have fit Bruce's role better than himself. To act a character who undergoes a drastic change is hard, but well done by Bruce. This movie is mainly about family and bonds, and the importance of who we are (or were) having an effect on the person that we will always grow up to be, whether at the moment you are 8, 38, 50 or 90... we allways will be living 'the Kid' inside of us.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Kid
Parents need to know that this movie has some rude and PG-rated language, a school-yard scuffle, a sad off-screen death, and a parent-child confrontation that may be upsetting.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the importance of understanding your past. Kids who see the movie will want to know whether their parents are neglecting their childhood dreams, and they may want to talk about what they can do now to stay in touch with what is important to them and to feel happy with themselves when they grow up. They should discuss what makes people mean. As this movie shows, it is often because they are insecure and in pain. Some kids who have experienced or observed bullies at school may want to talk about why kids behave that way and how to respond to them. Older kids may also want to talk about the difference between "spin" and accountability and the way that image consultants change the way that people feel about celebrities.

A very funny, enjoyable comedy with a touch of drama to make you think. Clean and cute, may be a little slow for the small kids.
