Powerful businessman Russ Duritz is self-absorbed and immersed in his work. But by the magic of the moon, he meets Rusty, a chubby, charming 8-year-old version of himself who can't believe he could turn out so badly -- with no life and no dog. With Rusty's help, Russ is able to reconcile the person he used to dream of being with the man he's actually become.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Never really sparks much insight beyond the implied simplistic homily: 'You're never too old to change.'

rotten:
Nothing is very believable in the film.

rotten:
It's unlikely anyone would ever mistake this clunky, if big-hearted, fable-fantasy for an actual classic -- or even classic Disney.

By rights The Kid should be dreadful. Surprisingly enough, it often soars to heights of not bad.

fresh:
It's not the big movie of summer 2000 that everyone's been waiting for, but it's solid, if ultimately uninspired, July entertainment.
