ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

moonspinner55 Disappointing comedy-drama with a sentimental coating has Michael J. Fox ideally cast as a former child star who now runs a talent agency for thespian tots; brother Nathan Lane and Cyndi Lauper are his assistants. This all sounds as if it can't miss, however too much of the scenario is given over to strident Christina Vidal as a streetwise tyke whom Fox believes will be the next big thing. They quickly lock horns, and the bantering, back-and-forth dialogue takes them to an uninteresting, formulaic finish. Fox and Lane are both appealing, but the energy of the early scenes gives way to treacle. Slickly-produced, but ultimately stale. *1/2 from ****

XsWeEtLiLGiRL90x This is a great movie and michael J. Fox does excellent in this role! This is the movie that marked the beginning of the career of christina vidal, although some others may not agree I thought she did great. As the little tough girl from the streets of brooklyn she does an excellent job. This movie is something I bought after seeing this on HBO and to me is a classic. This is definitley worth a look and I give it 4 1/2 to 5 out of 5 stars. One thing to know about this movie. Don't think about it. JUST WATCH!

drew_graham1 Take a couple of great actors and give them a poor script and not even they can't make it good. This film had its moments, but the only real memorable ones are during the child stars' auditions. All in all, I remember it being really funny when I was younger and now I found it watchable, but nothing special, and especially not in my top five or even ten. I was actually surprised that there were so many positive reviews on here.

scoot_laird Michael J. Fox delivers an emotional and electrifying performance in this gem. This movie changed my life. Barry the Cereal King... What can I say about Barry the Cereal King that hasn't been written in the history books before... he truly is the most ingenious and complex character in film history. The man has everything, he may very likely be the Lord Jesus himself, you may call me a blasphemer but if you've seen the film, you'll understand, I pray to him for guidance every day. This movie is dark, deep, and significant to an entire generation. Cherish it folks, they just don't make them like this anymore. Thank you James Lapine for bringing the whole world together with your beautiful art.
