Bruce Willis stars in this children's comedy about a 40 year old image consultant, a complete jerk with no friends, no family and (most importantly of all) no dog. One day, when his coworkers finally had it with this guy, he meets this mysterious child whom he soon learns is himself at eight. Willis has no idea why he's here; that he must find out! Usually entertaining but not incredibly funny or touching, The Kid is made worthwhile by its unique premise and many memorable moments. Remains strictly a children's flick, but it makes a fine family viewing choice!
