Starring: Bruce Willis, Spencer Breslin, Emily Mortimer, Lily Tomlin, Jean Smart
International superstar Bruce Willis (UNBREAKABLE, THE SIXTH SENSE), along with Lily Tomlin (9 TO 5, TEA WITH MUSSOLINI), Emily Mortimer (SCREAM 3, NOTTING HILL), and newcomer Spencer Breslin star in the hilarious and heartwarming comedy DISNEY'S THE KID. Successful, high-powered Russ Duritz (Willis) has spent all of his incredibly empty life forgetting the child he used to be -- until one day, he meets him face-to-face! Thinking this kid is a hallucination, Russ does everything he can to make him go away. But 8-year-old Rusty (Breslin), who's anything but happy that he grows up to be a loser without real meaning in his life, can't leave -- at least not yet. At once funny and charming, DISNEY'S THE KID is a magical comedy that's filled with adult-sized laughs.

Bruce Willis and the Kid
The person playing the Kid is an excellent actor and funny. You will love this great heart warming and funny movie with Bruce Willis, guaranteed.

I love this movie. It's about rediscovering yourself, remembering what you really want...
Do you remember your childhood dreams? What did you want to be when you were a child?
In this movie the character meets a kid that helps him remember what he really wanted to be, remind him about human values he has long forgotten in his busy life.

"The Kid"
This was a wonderfully crafted film aside from any attaempt at explaining how the "kid" managed to find himself in his own future. I found it to be particularly applicable to my own childhood and the often negative ways I found to deal with its after affects. I thoroughly recommend it!

Post-Walt Classic Disney
Walt Disney once described fantasy as "accepting one impossible thing in a story, then following it to see where it leads." Those of us who grew up with Walt at the helm of Disney Studios have missed the warmth, hope, and quality of Disney movies since his passing. All too often cookie cutter quantity has replaced qualilty as the primary production value. "The Kid" fulfills the promise once implicit in the films Walt Disney gave to us. The approach is original, the presentation touching, while there are moments which leave viewers in danger of falling out of their chairs with laughter. Bruce Willis, supported by Lily Tomlin, Spencer Breslin (in his film debut) and a gilfted supporting cast give fresh, truly entertaining performances. The common theme of You-Can-Be-A-Star found in so many offerings from the "Rubber Stamp Studio" has been largely set aside. In it's place we are taken on a journey of discovery, awareness, and forgiveness, leaving each of us feeling we have the abiliy to arrive at our own happy ending. While it's not perfect, it is a giant step in the right direction. Children and adults alike will enjoy this film again and again.

the kid--
bruce willis has his job cut out for himself when he discovers a young boy stalking him. The boy has a message for him but he has to give into the kid in him. This is one of mr. willis's best movies. My family absolutely loves this movie.

Great movie
This movie made me review my childhood and to see things in a different way. This movie is not preachy or overzealous just a lot of fun.

No Kidding
This is a fun movie with Bruce Willis going from an overly serious businessman to a guy that can have fun with a spouse and dog. All thanks to his older self sending his younger self his kid self. His kid self teaches him many of the things he had forgotten about his childhood. It makes him realize he is now to tough on himself and those around him. Reminded me of another entertaining Disney movie "The Blue Yonder" which unfortunately isn't on DVD yet. In that one a kid travels in time to help his great great grandfather. Overall this is a well rounded family movie and will appeal to most fans of Disney movies or light romantic comedies. Good quality DVD with no extras. Fair replayability.

very happy
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves this movie but we didn't have it. I know he'll be very happy!

Excellent 5 Star
This video is an excellent work in demonstrating how deeply our childhood affects us. "The Kid" was given some key themes in his childhood that he believed and acted out as an adult. I consider the time spent together as a family viewing and discussing this film as a good investment.

Same thing happened to me...
It's ok to laugh and enjoy this movie where a boy travels forward through time to help his adult self out. But when it happens to you you'll be singing another tune. I was lounging around the other day when this long-haired hippy kid showed up. Asked if he could use the bathroom. Who am I to turn him down? Hours passed and I figured he left, I walked passed the entertainment room and this kid has basically moved in! He's got my stuff scattered everywhere and he's playing X-box and eating Doritos.
Patriarch: What the heck are you doin, boy!
The Kid: Where's Super Mario Bros. 3?
Patriarch: This is friggin 2007, there is no Mario 3!
I'm getting ready to hull him out of there when he begins to tell me that he's me age 9 and he's here to help me with my life. Sounded plausible enough so I asked him to tell me more. He's like:
"We can discuss it at Chuckie's Cheese."
I figure it's worth the investment so I take him. Only prob is at dinner, mums the word. He doesn't have any sage advice whatsoever. Just kept asking me silly questions like, "Who's your favorite Ninja Turtle" and "Know how to find the warp-zone in Zelda?"
After dinner my mind was numb. Especially since he made me listen to New Kids on the Block all the way home. "Hangin' tough" was about all I could do. About this time I realized there was nothing my young self could teach me. All I did was sit around watching cartoons and playing Nintendo as a kid.
I tell him it's time to leave but he wants to spend the night.
"Look kid, this ain't the Neverland Ranch and I ain't Michael Jackson now get outta here!"
I don't know if he every found his way back to the early 90s but I hope so, I felt bad for kicking him out.
