The Metro Chase (2003)

Join eight-year-old Zac Monroe (Christopher Plumley) on an unforgettable trip to Paris. Zac, a mischievous little brother, avid photographer, and amateur sleuth, becomes separated from his older sister Alex (Lindsay Felton of Nickelodeon's Caitlin's Way). He accidentally snaps a gang of petty crooks at work. Now, he's got a pickpocket (Olivier Galfione) on his trail, and the police on his case. Meanwhile, a frantic Alex and her best friends, Natalie (Olympic Gold Medalist Tara Lipinski) and Daniel (Jason Padgett, The Amityville Horror), turn Paris upside down trying to find Zac. Filmed on location in one of the world's most beautiful cities, The Metro Chase is a madcap family adventure that takes viewers beneath the streets of Paris to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Children will cheer Zac every step of the way in this rollicking comedy in the tradition of Home Alone.

Fun Movie!

This is a fun movie to watch with kids. It is about an American boy who is lost in Paris, witnesses a crime and ends up being chased by the bad guys. I got quite a kick out of listening to my nephews discuss how they would have handled the situation. You get a first hand look at the city of Paris and kids can really get a feel for what is like to be there. There are some subtitles, so young children who cannot read may not understand one scene, but they should get the gist of it. It's a very entertaining movie. January 11, 2006

Like a vacation in Paris.

If you love Paris in the springtime, as I do, and can't afford a vacation there this year, just pop in this enchanting DVD and let it take you there. Incredibly authentic accents, serene music, beautiful scenery!!! Every sight you can imagine. No kidding-Eiffel Tower, the streets of Montmartre and the Buttes de Montmartre, the Metro (trains and stations), the Marais (watch for St. Paul's), the Gare du Nord, and much more. Oh, and enjoy a sweet little movie at the same time. Almost as good as being there. January 6, 2006

I love this movie.

The Metro Chase is a great movie! All of the actors are very good. It is a fun movie to watch because it is funny at times and suspenseful at other times and it has a good story. Also, I like it that it is set in Paris because not very many movies for kids are set in places like that and I think that is cool. The blond guy, Seth is really cool and hot and the little boy, Zak is funny. Plus the songs are great. Everyone should buy this movie. You won't be sorry.

Delightful family movie

This is a surprisingly good little movie. The plot is not too much of a stretch and there are a variety of interesting characters. The acting is decent. All in all, it's pretty well done for a television movie. If you have ever been to Paris, this film will show you sights you have seen and then some. It's a good film for kids and adults alike.

very cute

This was a cute family movie. It stars Tara Lipinski, Lindsay Felton, Jon Cryer and a young newcomer named Christopher Plumley. There is also a French actor named Olivier Galfione and a couple of funny teen-age boys named John Hooper and Jason Padgett. The movie is about the boy's homework assignment to tell the class about what he did on his summer vacation and his retelling of his adventure in Paris. He gets lost and becomes involved with some small-time crooks, eventually helping the police catch them. For a children's television movie, I must says they had some pretty spectacular locations. The story and performances are decent. The soundtrack is excellent. It is worth watching for sure. December 17, 2005
