It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A girl and her two friends raid a bank, looking for the money needed for financing the cure of her dying father. Catch That Kid is a mix of Mission Impossible meets Ocean's Eleven and stars Kristen Stewart, Corbin Bleu and Max Thieriot first of all this movie is really and has one great chase sequence with the Go-Karts and the police cars and 2nd of all everyone is really great especially Stewart as Maddy and John Carroll Lynch who is really great also and loves Robert De Niro a lot. This movie also has 2 of the dumbest security guards that you will ever see in a movie and i think it succeeds both as a family friendly movie but also as an adventure and i find it hard to believe that this film deserves a 5.2 out of 10 it's a straight 10/10 with some very good characters that both kids and their parents can like.

Catch That Kid passed the time adequately for me. It's good natured, with a lot of good kid actors, at this point in time. The main attraction for me, was of course Kristen Stewart. She often carries this film, with her charisma, and likability. Corbin Bleu and Max Thieriot add great support with Kristin to make a likable trio, but the film is much too limited to fully work. The movie can only go as far as it's plot can take it. For a kid's movie, it's a lot better then most. The subplot with Max and Corbin fighting for Kristen's love, was a bit silly though, and took away some of the enjoyment of the film for me. I mean Her dad was in bad health, and all those two cared about was having her love? it seemed rather selfish to me. There is one decent action scene, where the boys race away from the cops on go carts. For a Kid's film, I have to say that was pretty impressive. The Main beef I had with this movie though, is that it's often very bland. Adults like me, won't find a lot appealing, and it will only do enough to just get you by with the movie.Performances. Kristen Stewart proves once more, why she deserves her status as one of Hollywood's top actresses now. The charisma she induces for her age, is absolutely remarkable. She carried this film, and made me believe in her. Corbin Bleu and Max Theriot provide likable support to Kristen. The Three made a good team, and made the film a lot better then it should have been. Jennifer Beals and Sam Robards made for likable parents. John Carroll Lynch is the comic relief, he had some amusing scenes.Bottom Line. Catch That Kid is better then it has any right to be. It falls flat overall, when all is said and done. There is still a fair amount of enjoyment to be had, Kids will love it, and adults won't be as tortured as they thought they would be.5 1/2 10

Hardly worth 2 stars. My favorite part in the movie was the ending.I watched it just yesterday and let me tell you, I wish I hadn't. Now I have nightmares of go-karts (which I have no idea why they used). This movie was as pointless as, i don't know, watching informative videos on motherhood when you're a father. basically, this was a wanna-be Cody Banks with a touch of Spy Kids, and and can't you imagine how horrible that would be? adults- do not even hope for a moment of laughter. the humor is unbearbly forced and stupid and I'd rather watch Jim Carrey attempt a horror movie (haha, that is a good idea).please, spend your money on something else.

I believe this movie is one of the best family movies made in 2004. I mean, who cares what critics say? I think the acting was good,(especially on Kristen Stewart's part). Plus, this movie showed excellent storyline and some key morals. Sure there were a couple of plot holes. But there was humor to make up for that flaw. I think anyone who calls this film a spy-kids wanna-be is just looking for an excuse to criticize this film. Critics only look for flaws in movies. And people who see movies based on critical reviews should see the film for themselves before making a decision on how good a movie is. In my opinion, Catch That Kid is a 10 out of 10 film.
