CATCH THAT KIID

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 May 31, 2008

Teenproof

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. February 28, 2008

Come on!

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. January 30, 2008

Highly emotional and inspiring, look beyond the robbery

This movie is a heart warming story of a daughter trying to think her way out of her father's dismal medical condition, of which her mother is unable to afford the costly but highly effective surgery for him to recover. This movie has great kid actors/actresses in it and is a super movie to watch with your kids, I found it was highly emotional and inspiring. The movie is developed for kids above 7-8 years old, who will more than over look the morality of the bank robbery which has taken so many harsh digs throughout it's critics. If you can look beyond the robbery, the kids are learning the depths of their friendships, undeniable love for family, and also unconventional thinking that is sometimes called for in this sometimes red-taped, unsympathetic society. And for those concerned about the morality demonstrated within this film, the Vice President of the bank himself legitimizes the robbery committed by the children as a security precaution to prevent future instances and commends the children for their bravery. The daughter is given a cash reward by the bank for finding flaws in their highly sophisticated security system, enough money to afford the much needed surgery for her father. My kids loved it and so did I. July 29, 2006
