StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

SnoopyStyle 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.

bkoganbing I'm noting that Catch That Kid was based on a popular Danish film, Klatretosen that only came out a few years ago. There had to be another motivation for what these three enterprising juveniles did because Denmark unlike the USA has socialized medicine and the problem that the kids need the money for wouldn't exist there.What that problem is that Kristen Stewart's dad John Carroll Lynch has aggravated an old spinal injury that has left him bedridden and paralyzed. The only hope of a treatment is an experimental procedure that our insurance won't pay and will cost $250,000.00 for the operation. So Kristen enlists her two friends, Max Thierot and Corbin Bleu to do a bank robbery.Getting inside information is easy because Kristen's mom, Jennifer Beals runs a security company and on a take your daughter to work day she accompanies mom and pays very close attention to the procedures installed in the bank that Beal's is contracted to work for. Although they don't say so, it's pretty obvious these kids were weaned on heist films like To Catch A Thief and The Asphalt Jungle. Cary Grant never pulled off a neater robbery than this trio. Catch That Kid is a nice enough film that might send a wrong message out there to younger viewers. Truth be told these kids are almost caught, but get some help from an unexpected source. They never should have gotten as far as they did.

Mr_Sensitive I feel the movie got a pretty low rating on this site because most of the people on IMDb are older and take movie pretty seriously. They rated it according to its cinematic. I find this movie to be very amusing than most kid movie.Brief: Unless she could come up with the money her father is slipping away into being paralyzed from neck downward permanently. Desperate, Maddy and two other friends set up a heist to rob the bank with the best security system.I think the story is pretty smart and tight though it might start out very slow. The script has been written pretty well for this genre of movie. All the three children characters are balancing in the film very well. And I really like how each character contribute to the movie equally. And the sub-plot is also very neat and is the thing I enjoy the most, love triangle between them; really is amusing.The casting is brilliant, Kristen is giving a good performance compare to girls her age, Max is good looking and Corbin is talented and believable. Just because it is a kid flick I feel people are pigeonhole the movie, I in the other hand find it to be much better than Ocean 11, Spy Kids nor Agent Cody Banks.Lastly: the acting, score, directing isn't bad at all. I enjoy the movie almost every part of it; it is fun. I didn't feel rip-off, the story though make believe it was good and solid. And it is very much a re-watchable film. Entertaining enough to make me forget how many flaws it has.Reason To Watch: Love Triangle Was Amusing, The Movie is Very Entertaining.Reason Not To: If You Do Not Like Kids Movie, Don't Watch It And Complain About It Later.Recommendation: Yes, Rent It Today!! Rating: 7/10 (Grade: B-).Please Rate Y/N After Read, Thanks.

morganlafay 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!
