First Kid

First Kid is a 1996 comedy that centers around a secret service agent who is assigned to protect the president's son.

Directed by David Mickey Evans and starring Sinbad and Brock Pierce, First Kid is a fun comedy from my childhood that I still have fond memories of watching. And although it's story is pretty simple and the jokes are kind of silly with minimal memorable moments, it still has an amusing charm about it that keeps you entertained. Sinbad gives a solid comedic performance that won't leave your stomach hurting from laughter, but that will definitely have you chuckling from time to time.

It's not the best Disney produced comedy of all time, but I still enjoy it all these years later. If you've never seen it before and like old Disney movies, I'd recommend checking it out.

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

I am not a big fan of Sinbad's movies, but he made me laugh more than once in this movie. I recommend it to people of all ages! The other actors are OK, but it has a good plot and strong ending. Don't let the Disney fool you. I think that this is one of the best childrens movies I have seen lately.

I didn't dislike First Kid nearly as much as I thought I was going to, but I also didn't think it was that funny. Most of humor depends on whether you find Sinbad to be entertaining or not. He mostly just seems to riff on the scene and improvise his lines. Sometimes it works. Most of the time it doesn't. I found the titular kid to be highly annoying for the first part of the film, too, but I guess that was kind of the point. The story also takes an oddly dark turn at the end, which I wasn't expecting in such a lighthearted movie. I don't regret watching it, but I probably won't watch it again.

I thought I'd stumbled upon another cheesy movie. But no, this is one of the good ones. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised why it's getting such a low rating.

Sam Simms (Sinbad) is hired to be the personal Secret Service agent of the President's son Luke Davenport (Brock Pierce), after the current agent got fired. No wonder, too, because Luke is a pain in the neck who pulls all kinds of stunts and practical jokes - for fun or for attention? You'll find out.

Sinbad and Brock Pierce work wonderfully together, and the scenes with the two of them are good. The scenes with them and Dash (Blake Boyd) are even better. I must say that I particularly liked Dash's (however brief) dancing outside the school hall - seem familiar? Oh, yes.

They could have left out the kidnapping plot, but it does make for an interesting addition.

A great movie. Worth the rental.
