A Disappointing Continuation
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Maddy (Kristen Stewart) loves to climb. Her best friends are tech nerd Austin (Corbin Bleu) and go-cart mechanic Gus (Max Thieriot). Her father Tom Phillips (Sam Robards) suffers a paralysis from an old climbing injury that requires $250k for treatment. Her mother Molly (Jennifer Beals) works at the bank but the bank president Donald Brisbane refuses to lend her the money. Maddy decides to rob the bank with the help of her young friends despite the fact that her mother is the security chief.The kids are all photogenic and they are good young actors. However there is nothing actually funny. It's too stupid to be real and too real to be fun. There isn't any joy in this kids movie. They even try a love triangle for them. It just doesn't work.
An American remake of Danish 2002 film Klatretøsen, Catch That Kid is undemanding family fare for the, well, undemanding. Plot sees Kristen Stewart as Maddy, whose father is rendered paralysed from an old mountaineering accident. Unable to raise the $250,000 needed for the potential life changing operation, Maddy and her mother are at a dead end. But Maddy hits upon the idea of robbing the bank where her mother has been the security consultant, so enlisting the help of her two young pals, she sets about committing the perfect robbery.Plot suggests it is what it is, kiddie friendly fodder that's as preposterous as it gets. But it's still a likable enough tale, stitched together competently enough by director Bart Freundlich, and the actual robbery itself is well crafted and not without genuine tension. The child actors, led by future Twilight star Stewart, don't annoy, and the writers even plant the strains of puppy love on the edges of the narrative. It's all heading to an obvious conclusion, one that is very It's A Wonderful Life in intent, but it does it's job well enough and closes off with a smugness that's hard to get mad at.An easy enough time filler to watch with the kids or to do your ironing too. 6/10
i liked this movie quite a bit.true,it's not at all realistic,but if you can suspend your disbelief,you might like it.it a fun movie with a good deal of action and humour.the characters are all pretty likable,and the acting is good for this type of movie.if you're expecting something deep,you won't find it here,though there is a serious issue,which is the setup for most of the movie.the movie is fast paced and never boring.basically it's a pretty entertaining 90 minutes.there is some rude humour involved and some intense themes,but still i think it's suitable for most audiences,but parents should still use their discretion.for me,Catch That Kid is a 7.5/10
WOW, and I thought Spy Kids was bad, but ah, I was mistaken. This movie can be defined in one word: CRAP! In my option, it should be burned along with any dumb fans and that gay cast. "You can be our best man" how about I shoot both of you 'cause you only 12. It isn't legal to get married in any state 'til you 16. Futhur more, a bunch of 12 year-old would not RECEIVE money for robbing a bank! Hello, jail. And also this movie is telling young eight year-old to rob a bank 'cause it's okay. My god these people are stupid. And cop cars can go up to 270 mph (trust me I've been in one) and go-karts can go a resounding 15 mph. So those cops could have easily run over the kids!
