Disney's The Kid (2001, DVD)

Movie Description
Russ Duritz is a success--he has looks, he has money, and he has power. The only things he's missing are friends and a conscience. But when an eight-year-old boy mysteriously keeps popping up in his high-security home, Russ finds things getting strange: The boy turns out to be himself at age eight--Rusty. Once Russ is able to even accept that the boy is who he says he is (with the hilarious help of Dana Ivey as a therapist under pressure and Lily Tomlin as Russ's assistant), he resists being associated with that image of himself yet again: a pudgy "loser" with a speech impediment. His halfhearted attempts to court his assistant, Amy, are accelerated when his younger self decides to take a hand. Russ thinks he's supposed to help his eight-year-old self become less of a geek, but Rusty might be there to teach Russ a thing or two about the things that really matter. Director Jon Turteltaub also produced this nostalgic, shamelessly emotional film, which features cameos by Larry King and Harold Greene.

For the scene where Willis gets in his car and chases his younger self--who is fleeing on a bicycle--Turteltaub had run out of time in the last week to shoot it on the streets. Instead, the second unit filmed the background, then Willis was shot in the foreground in a parked Porsche on a soundstage in front of a green screen, pretending to be driving.

Close-ups of Willis's face at the airport at night had to be shot on a soundstage. Crew members used fog and the same lights from the shoot at the airport to re-create the scene on a soundstage for Willis to do his close-ups.

Editorial Reviews
"...[A] family-friendly comedy....Embraces turn-of-the-century self-help ideology in a crushingly sincere masculine bearhug..."
New York Times - p.E10 - A. O. Scott

"...Secret intelligence....Willis teams up happily with [Breslin]..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - p.56 - Lisa Schwarzbaum

"...[Willis and Breslin are] feisty and fun as a physical match-up..."
Rolling Stone - p.62 - Peter Travers

"...It's a sweet film, unexpectedly involving, and shows again that Willis, so easily identified with action movies, is gifted in the areas of comedy and pathos..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/07/2000)

      Bruce Willis in Disney's The Kid Movie
    Review created: 08/03/08

    Funny, good clean family picture. No nudity or profanity. A coming of age story for a 40 year-old obsessive-compulsive man. Great message for all ages! I could comfortably sit and watch this with any of my adult children and any of my grandkids without embarrassment.

      Fun Family Movie...
    Review created: 04/06/08

    I really enjoyed this movie because the plot was great, it had a lot of laughs and it was fun to watch.
    Bruce Willis meets his past and learns Life Lessons when the Kid suddenly shows up in his life. And I LOVE that Kid! He's pudgy and sweet and honest. The two of them together are a great pair... sometimes silly, sometimes serious, as they try to solve the Kid's mystery. Fun for the whole family....
