The Kid & I
When It Comes To Heroes, Size Doesn't Matter.
From the director of Wayne's World comes a unique and inspiring comedy. The Kid & I, loosely based on a true story, stars Tom Arnold, Linda Hamilton, Henry Winkler, Joe Mantegna, Shannon Elizabeth, and newcomer, Eric Gores in this buddy movie with a fresh twist.
Bill Williams (Arnold) is a down-and-out actor who is unexpectedly hired to write a sequel a la True Lies, the action film that made him famous more than a decade ago. When Bill learns that his co-star is Aaron Roman (Gores), a rich kid with no acting experience, what appeared to be the chance for a major comeback turns into a series of outlandish complications.
As they embark on a journey of outrageous misadventures, the unlikely duo discover that it takes more courage to face real life challenges than it does fighting bad guys on the big screen. Although Aaron may be inexperienced in acting, his tenacious spirit, unwavering optimism and unconditional friendship turns out to be an important, enduring gift to Bill.

This is another movie whose whole may be less than the sum of its parts, but I'm a sucker for a good ending, and the movie's earlier parts are often very good, as I could hardly keep up with all of writer/star Tom Arnold's Hollywood zingers. The supporting thespians are all outstanding, including Henry Winkler (the agent), Linda Hamilton (the ex-wife), Shannon Elizabeth, and Joe Mantegna. This comedy with heart merges fantasy and reality, with Tom Arnold's Bill Williams being an actor whose career has been in the dumps for over a decade, and the teenager with cerebral palsy who wants to become an action hero, Aaron "A-Dog" Roman, having 1994's "True Lies" as his favorite movie. (Arnold co-starred in "True Lies" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, who have cameos in the current movie.) "The Kid and I" also has a movie within a movie, called "Two Spies," both directed by Penelope Spheeris ("Wayne's World"), appearing as herself in both. (A character had heard she would come cheap.) The problem is with the many songs. We open with the 1967 Procol Harum so-so hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale," and then it's all downhill from there. Especially considering Aaron's list of things he wants to do, notwithstanding his cerebral palsy, the song we should have had is Daryl Hall & John Oates' biggest hit, 1981's "Kiss On My List." See this movie to the end, and you'll know what I mean.
