Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis) is a successful 40 year old L.A. image consultant. Janet (Lily Tomlin) is his secretary. His assistant Amy (Emily Mortimer) is concerned about his latest job. While stuck in a traffic jam, he is almost hit by a fly biplane but then the plane is gone. He finds a red toy plane and a boy (Spencer Breslin) in his apartment. He chases the kid and he disappears. The boy reappears at his apartment claiming to be Rusty. It dawns on Russ that Rusty is his younger self.The idea is OK and the execution is fine. It's a little hard to feel for Russ. It may be easier to feel for him if he is suffering as an adult. His adult character is too hard and cold. I don't think Bruce Willis projects the right persona at the start. He could suffer panic attacks and Rusty helps him overcome them. This is a simple story and it mostly almost works.

Imagine yourself at age eight. Now imagine you at age eight, is standing right next to you. This happens to Bruce Willis, in Disney's "The Kid".I must say that "The Kid" is one of the funniest comedies of all time. It also reminds yourself of what you were like when you were eight years old. That feeling is priceless, and Bruce Willis carried it out in the best way ever.10 stars out of 10 stars, and nothing less for one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. There should always be more movies with type of comedy, and I expect there will in the mere future.

As a guy who is 39, turning on 40 this year, I am happy i never really grew up. This film moves me every time i see it, brings about melancholy to the time i was still 8, carefree, no worries, mum and dad still alive..Seeing some of my colleagues even younger than me at the school i teach history at, who act and sometimes even look 50 up, i fight and fight and fight to keep my kid inside, and never lose touch with it. That also is a benefit for my pupils, as well as myself.This film is a must see for everyone, it is skilfully made, honest, caring, and Bruce Willis shows he is more than an action film actor.Highly recommended for everyone who just wants to float away on memories past, as well as people who are willing to see the message contained within.ASHIKAGA.

Imagine you have the opportunity to see yourself again as a kid. Now think what would happen if you had the chance to speak with your younger self, or even change him/you. Would you try to influence or try to change your younger self's beliefs in light of your future experience? Or perhaps the encounter would change your older self's perception of life and reality? Walt Disney's The Kid tries to engage this complex thought by putting "older self" Bruce Willis in a collision course with "younger self" Spenser Breslin (from The Santa Clause 2 and The Cat in the Hat "fame"). The result is a sometimes funny sometimes touching encounter, which makes you ponder about your own past, present and future – and truly believe it is never too late to change your course.
