First Kid
August. 30,1996 PGSome say that to be the leader of a country is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. But being the child of a world leader can be doubly so. Constantly surrounded by security officers, restricted in movements and having almost every waking moment carefully monitored makes normalcy an impossibility. No one knows this better than young Luke Davenport, the son of U.S. President Davenport. He vents his loneliness, frustration and feelings of isolation from family and friends by being a brat to his private Secret Service agent. When the agent snaps from the strain in front of the First Lady, a new agent is assigned to Luke. He turns out to be the enormous Sam Simms, a bit of a rogue who managed to rise through the ranks by sheer determination rather than strict adherence to Secret-Service protocol. At first, Luke tries all his old tricks upon Sam. But instead of getting angry, Sam seems to actually understand.

To me, this movie is perfection.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good movie but grossly overrated
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
***Spoilers Ahead, Most Definitely*** I bought this movie because it was only $1 on VHS at the thrift store.I wasn't expecting all that much to be honest with you but I enjoyed First Kid WAY more than I ever expected to.First Kid was a great movie, it was worth the $1 & then some.I can't think of 1 complaint I had with it.They goofed when Luke was on house arrest.Instead of putting the bracelet on his ankle, they put it on his wrist.Not a complaint, just something I noticed & found weird.I wonder if it was done on purpose or what? I wish I knew why they did that.Another thing I found weird/strange is the shooting at the end.This is the 1st Disney movie I've seen where somebody gets shot.Anyways....... I don't have any particular favorite part of the movie that stands out for me because I enjoyed First Kid from start to finish.Sinbad & Brock Pierce worked well together.In fact, the whole movie worked.It's a very heartwarming movie that you can enjoy by yourself or together with the whole family.I'f you ever get a chance to watch it, check it out.I got a copy of First Kid on VHS & now I want it on DVD as well
I have a particularly strange penchant for American comedies that were released between 1991 and 1998. These comedies had a few things in common. They starred someone who was quite big on TV at the time, and a movie studio decided to give them a contract to star in some low budget movies to see how they'd do.The first one did OK business, then the other sank without a trace.Damon Wayans, Pauly Shore, Phil Hartman, Sinbad, and a few other actors were in these, and although they never really gained an audience here in the UK, I have to see every one of them, because they all have the same narrative structure to them.And here's the method of that narrative.We have our star, who has some sort of wacky trait. They are in close proximity to someone who doesn't like them very much. That attitude eventually changes. They bond and become friends. Something happens that cause this friendship to finish abruptly, either someone loses their job, or our hero has been double crossed.But rest assured, all will be good come the end, the hero will get the love interest, the the hero and main plot character will bond, and every one will laugh come the end.There is always an Obi Wan type character in the film, here it's Robert Guillame, and there is always someone who wants them to fail, here it's Art La Fleur, but guess what, he warms to him come the end.Sinbad is watchable enough he's likable, and the concept here is that he's assigned to look after the Presidents son, who's a little bit of a cheeky chappie, why, in the first scene, he gets a member of the Secret Service fired, I wonder where that plot goes too?So Sinbad teaches him how to box, how to talk to girls, and things are going smoothly, until the bond ends abruptly. Even though you know what's going to happen the minute the film starts, these are my kryptonite, I'll always go back to them, because they are so easy going.They are not brilliant by any means, m sometimes embarrassed to watch them with other people, but they are comfort movies, and so entires that's what you want a film to give you.
This is a wonderful Family Movie. We ALL loved it and it leaves you with that "feel good" feeling that romantic comedies leave you with. It doesn't have all the violence that you see in today's movies on television but yet it hints at the cautions of the violence that kids need to be wary of so that it makes you think about it in terms of being cautious. It also hints at a little puppy-love with the thirteen year old kids. The phrases that they use are current so it makes the movie believable in today's times. It is just the right length and also ends very nicely. It's a great all-around movie that everyone can enjoy watching over and over again. I'd see it again and again because I liked it so much.
The movie is about Luke a 13 years old boy but he´s not a normal kid, he´s the first kid! Luke is very difficult kid because he has no friends and not a normal life so he annoys his bodyguard. When he gets a new bodyguard they are getting friends soon and Luke learns some things like normal kids like dance, boxing and about girls.OK the story from the rich misunderstood kid isn´t really new but I liked this movie. It´s simple a fell good and have fun movie. Brock Pierce and Sindbad did a really good job, I liked the dialogues between them. I worth to see it!
