 Fun Kid to watch with the kids August 2, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I just watched this movie with my two boys (ages 11 and 8) and while there are holes in the plot and technical continuity to drive a truck through, as a tween-ager action flick this movie is great. I liked it better than the Spy Kids series.
The characters are very likable (with the exception of when Maddy manipulates the two boys into helping her rob the bank by lying about loving them) and though it is hard to get behind robbing the bank, it is definitely for a good cause -- to save her dad who Maddy idolizes. And when she does steal the money, she doesn't take any more than is actually needed. As one of the lines points out -- there was 24 million dollars in the vault; why would anyone just take 250K?
The ending is heartwarming and leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling.
If you are looking for an action flick that you and your kids can enjoy together, then this is a good one.
 What an incredibly stupid movie. August 2, 2008

I could barely sit through this film because it was so ridiculous. The main thing that stands out is the absurd chase scene involving a couple squad cars and kids driving go-carts. Are we to believe that experienced, professional police officers driving high-powered squad cars cannot apprehend a couple bratty children driving go-carts down a city street? Come on, give the cops a break here. Those kids would have been nailed in about five minutes. Scene after scene was just plain stupid, as is the tradition in so many assembly-line Disney movies for "tweens." Walt Disney would be rolling over in his grave if he could see the mindless junk being produced under the Disney banner.

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD DVD. JENNIFER bEALS IS EXCELLENT IN IT, AND 3 KIDS PLANNING THE BANK ROBERY ARE EXCELLENT. FAST MOVING. GOOD STUFF. JM
Teenproof February 28, 2008
It reminded me of a movie called "Foolproof" with three people pretending to rob a bank as a game, but then a criminal steals their plan. Anyway this is a nice family movie. It may be a bit over the top in couple places, but what action movie isn't. One reviewer mentioned the "Italian Job", and their is some likeness to it as well. The movie has it's own unique story and I didn't feel as though I had seen it before. The kids playing the key characters are engaging and don't have attitudes. That was what I found most refreshing. Sometimes attitude is needed to make a role convincing, but here it wasn't warranted, and they don't use any. In a nutshell the story revolves around three kids robbing a bank to get just the money they need so a father to one and friend to the other two can receive lifesaving surgery. Their method to do it is involved and interesting. The DVD is good quality and it has good replayability for families with kids.
Come on! January 30, 2008
I have recently entered teenagerdom, and I have learned something with it: Sometimes our opinion isn't the only one out there. Which is why, when I went on Amazon to buy it, I wasn't exactly shocked to see that it got poor reviews. Even though I loved it, I knew that others would think differently.
It wasn't until I read all of the over-protective parent's reviews that I got a little baffled. A bad message? You mean telling kids to do anything they can to save someone you love is a bad thing? If my father were about to die because of lack of money, I'd rob a bank in a second. No matter the consequences. Put that in your juice box and suck on it.
