Sidekicks (1992)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Expected more

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This was the first Chuck Norris movie I ever saw and it hooked me to his career. This light hearted movie is perfect for people of all ages and can be seen again and again. It really stresses the important values of martial arts training and the stereotypes surrounding them when comparing Lee's (Mako) and Stone's techniques. This is a great family movie and one that I have recommended to family and friends for over a decade. The cast for this movie could not have been chosen better if Aaron and Chuck had tried. In many ways the actors are able to pull the viewers back in time to when they were in high school and remember what it was like. You can relate to these characters which only makes this film better. Again I would recommend this movie to anyone five and up.

I just got done watching this movie on Television with my 2 children a boy who is 5 and a girl who is 7, and feel it is a wonderful family movie. My children asked if we could buy it. I remembered watching this movie when it first came out. I was about 17 at the time, and I liked it then too. It is similar to Karate Kid, but I enjoy the twist of the kid daydreaming and overcoming is asthma. This movie sends a wonderful message to children: it shows them that having an illness doesn't mean they can't be "normal", it also teaches them how to gain control of their anger and channel it into something good, and like the Karate kid it shows that being a bully never pays off. Furthermore, it shows kids that it's "normal" to daydream and don't let others tease you and push you around because you are different; all it takes is a little hard work and determination and you can find something you are good at.

This movie was too violent for little kids and the plot - or something that tried to be one - made it way too stupid for people older than, let's say, 14. Much worse version od "Karate Kid", where main difference is in appearance of Chuck Norris - what, in my opinion, is a minus. The main villain character made this film even worse, there were scenes I couldn't stand because of their low level. Very low level. Underground level. Movie only for kids. Those tolerant ones.2/10

The first time I saw this film I thought I was watching an old episode of "The Wonder Years." Danica McKellar plays Jonathon Bradis' love interest in this movie. Combine that with the washed-up talents of Joe Piscopo, Chuck Norris, and Beau Bridges and it makes for an agonizing hour and a half. Even though Chuck Norris is in this film, it ain't no "Delta Force." The fantasy scenes are way too violent for any teenager to be having. It sends the wrong message to younger kids watching it. One reason to suffer through this movie: Richard Moll's small but hilarious one-liners. Stick with "The Wonder Years", at least there Winnie looks attractive. * out of ***** stars. IMDB Scoring: 2 Stars
