In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

'First Kid' is one of the many kid friendly live action films that Disney churn out featuring a popular personality of the time. In this case it's Sinbad. If it were made today it would probably be The Rock.It's not a good film, I'm sorry to say, with a weak plot and weaker performances.The only funny thing I found was the sight of Timothy Busfield of 'West Wing' fame walking around a White House not governed by Martin Sheen's Jed Bartlett.Apart from that this is an unfunny mess of a film.

I first came across this movie when I was ill and had to stay in bed. I happened to be on the Sky Disney Channel and this popped on, I hadn't seen it so I figured I would watch it. As soon as I saw the intro, I knew it was going to involve a kid who was either going to be really likable or really annoying...this kid was really annoying.In the first half of the film I felt that his old bodyguard was right to lose it at the shopping centre (or as you Americans call it "the mall") since he was misbehaving and seemed to not gain that much punishment apart from a calm "You're grounded" from his parents. I was also on the side of the kid bullies and felt myself nodding when they said "I don't think you're better than anyone" and clapped when "The First Kid" got punched in the face, because all I saw was a bratty spoilt brat that didn't know when to stop and needed to learn a lesson. This was a major problem for me when watching this film and it still bugs me today as I have experienced kids like this before. However, on a more positive note, he was more likable in the second half of the film when he was learning how to be normal and such, though that's not saying much, I still find him one of the most annoying kids in movies.The best thing about this movie was the performance from Sinbad, as the newly hired bodyguard. His character made me giggle at every joke and none of them fell flat, could be because he's a comedian but still. He saved the movie for me because if he hadn't been a major character then I would have straight away changed the channel.Storywise, it was OK I suppose I mean the concept of the kid being lonely is believable enough, though I personally don't think acting bad would help him receive positive attention. Also, it would be only natural for him to want to make a friend online and meet up with them. I have to say that I was NOT expecting the old bodyguard to be the online friend at all, I thought it would have been a brand new villain that would have kidnapped him and held him for ransom or some generic thing like that.Overall, this movie is OK, if you can tolerate an extremely annoying brat for about 85% - 90% of the film then I would recommend giving it a look. If you can't then definitely skip it, it's not a total loss if you don't I'm just saying that you would be missing out on a great performance from Sinbad which is why this movie gets a 5/10 from me.

Why does this movie get such low reviews; it's terrific!!!!! I love Sinbad and he is very funny in all of his movies such as this, "Jingle All The Way," "Houseguest," etc.; he's DA BOMB!!!!! LOL Anyway, it's about a kid who lived in the White House. No, he can't be qualified to run our country just yet, but still... Anyhow, he likes to get spy gear, talk with his buddy Mongoose_12, and use his pet snake to trick people into thinking he's doing homework and stuff...LOL Some parts range from serious (seeing one of the "Home Improvement" kids as a bully; watching the "baked bean" fly out of that bad guy's gun) to LOL (Laugh Out Loud) fun (the spit ball the size of ice cream!!!!!; the pizza/Coke mascot, etc.)!!!!!Anyways, I've seen this in the theater in 1996, and have seen this a lot on the old Disney Channel after that. "First Kid" is a cool movie!!!!!10/10

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!
