Why so much hype?

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I'm not sure what kind of a movie this is. Is it a Chuck Norris movie, or a comedy that has Chuck Norris in it.Chuck Norris is in it and doing his usual actions, but it's not part of the real story. It's part of some kid's day dreaming. The life surrounding the kid is written as a comedyThe quality of the movie is not bad. It has good production, and not bad of acting. The kid's character is not strong enough to be the focus of the story, and Chuck's potential is hampered by having the kid as the center piece. Same goes for other actors.It's a good movie for teenagers, but not for Chuck Norris or martial arts movie fans.

Sidekicks is a pretty entertaining little film about a young, asthmatic boy who, in his imagination, is the sidekick to his hero, Chuck Norris. Barry, the kid (Brandis) is taught martial arts by his teacher's uncle (Mako). The story culminates with an exciting martial arts exhibition where Barry meets his idol, Chuck Norris, who agrees to help the boy in the competition.A wish-fullfilment movie in the juvenile sense. Although Chuck has definitely had his day, the idea of meeting and being helped by your fantasy hero, is good fodder for a kids film like this. Some people will probably quibble at the occasional silliness (Richard Moll's ridiculous gym teacher, and Piscopo's over-the-top bad guy karate teacher, to name a few), as well as the obvious self-promotion for Chuck Norris, but I think that the fantasy of the film will work itself over it's intended audience, who should enjoy this little treat of a movie.

Yeah when i saw sidekicks i wanted to cry. not for Barry for myself because i could not believe i wasted my time like that. #1. The movie had a bad plot to it. #2. Chuck Norris is possible the worst actor out there, really he hasn't had a good movie ever. In fact i think he is the worst actor ever. So anyway if you have an hour and half to kill and you have the choice to watch sidekicks or watch paint dry Please save yourself and watch the paint. Really if it was a good movie you would be able to buy it somewhere. Because my friends have tried to buy it and it is no where to be found. When amazon.com doesn't even carry it....yeah that should they you something. I really advise you not to watch this movie.

The main reason I saw this movie was because of Jonathan Brandis who plays Berry. I thought the movie was ok. Some scenes were rather boring and some scenes were rather funny. I do however think it is a decent family film. It did have a nice message though. It really is ok to dream and have fantasies. That part affected me strongly because I think of myself as a "Dream Queen". I sort of can relate to Berry in many different ways. I must say that I love the part where Barry beats up the bully and says "This time it's not going to be so easy" and they get into a fight. Also the part where Berry climbs the rope and is talking to Chuck and then finally reaches the top of the rope.
