TxMike Kristen Stewart is Maddy and outdoors type that we used to call a "tomboy" when I was younger. In particular she enjoyed climbing outdoors with her dad. But things get rough for the family when dad is injured and they cannot afford the expensive surgery. So, she hatches a plan, to rob the bank that her mom is the security agent for.Sam Robards is her dad, Tom, and Jennifer Beals is her mom, Molly. She has a couple of neighbor kids, friends of hers, help.Most of the movie involves the elaborate and tricky breaking in to get the highly secure money in the vault. None of it is possible, of course, but it makes for a good kids movie.SPOILERS: They actually get money, $250,000 worth, and escape at night on go-carts. They make it to dad's hospital room with the cash, followed closely by mom and then the cops and the bank president. Mom has a bright idea, to protect the kids she claims they were under her direction (a lie!) to expose the security vulnerability. They then raise some money, not nearly enough, until the bank president comes forward with a $50,000 check, "consulting fees", which allowed dad to get his surgery.

anxietyresister This is gonna take some explaining, but here we go: There's a girl right? She is training herself to be just as good a climber as her dad, an ex-mountaineer. Her two best friends are, in short: a computer geek and an adrenaline junkie. Her mother has just finished installing a security system at a bank, but it isn't properly tested yet. Despite all this, the arrogant manager of the branch decides to go ahead with a party he had planned. Meanwhile, The girl's dad collapses one night due to the effects of an injury he acquired while on the peaks. The diagnosis isn't good: He will be paralysed for life unless his family can raise 250'000 dollars for a trip to Copenhagen and a mobility restoring operation. Seeing as their attempts at borrowing the cash lead to nought, the kids decide to plan a little heist on mummy's bank the night of the manager's big do. With the young lady's climbing ability, the nerd's technical know-how and the adrenaline guy's habit of getting out of a tight spot, they make a perfect team! In fact, so perfect it could only be dreamed up in a movie screenplay! But forget my cynicism, let's check in on them as they start their raid!And what a bank this is! All you need to sneak in is dress in formal dinner wear, even if you look only 14 years old! Plus to protect.. oh what was it now.. 18 million bullion?.. the institution hires.. you guessed it. Two of the most retarded guards you'll ever likely to meet, one just fresh out of college with no experience and the other a complete psychopath who is in serious need of a dose of Ritalin. Ah, but that's not all! They also have to deal with.. two rottweilers! Scary stuff! Apart from that, there's also the motion detector cameras, the hidden laser that sets off the alarm, the huge drop while our wannabe climber girl is scaling up to the vault.. and yet they pass these tests with ease! if only robbing Lloyd's TSB was this easy! I'd do it myself! I'll tell you what would have made it more interesting.. if the children had run into a gang of REAL policemen while executing their plan other than those two boobs. Would they have accidentally zapped themselves with tazers in the corridor or staged fake sword fights when they're supposed to watching their monitors? No, they probably would have opened fire there and then on what could be for all they know an armed gang. I know, I know, I'm being over the top, but this seriously is one of the most ridiculous scenarios I've ever seen.Oh wait! I haven't even mentioned the getaway on go-carts. Somehow the brats evade two (Yes TWO) panda cars AND a chopper on almost deserted streets, all while low on fuel and ducking under trucks all the way. This is an amazing accomplishment for the young actors, and anyone who accuses the director of having short stuntmen under those helmets is quite patently wrong. Then, when they get to the hospital to take daddy to Denmark, he wants to know where his little precious got all the moolah. Not to worry, Mommy is quickly on the scene with an explanation that will save her daughter from having to break rocks for the next four years. Only problem is, its not a very good one. Only an idiot would believe it. Fortunately though, that sums up 100% of the adults in this film.. they buy it hook, line and sinker. So everything works out fine: Father's gets his operation, Mother saves her job and the Tomboy still gets hang around with her two best mates on the racetrack. The only question remaining is.. which of them does she.. you know.. like LIKE?! Stay tuned to the gripping conclusion to find out. Or maybe not.. 3/10 P.S Oops I got so worked up over the unbelievable plot I forgot to tell what I actually thought of it. Yeah, it sucked like an over zealous vacuum cleaner. And anyone else want to kill that stupid baby? Talk about overdoing the cute! Anyway, tune in next time my wonderful viewers!!

Aero Cutie Hardly worth 2 stars. My favorite part in the movie was the ending.I watched it just yesterday and let me tell you, I wish I hadn't. Now I have nightmares of go-karts (which I have no idea why they used). This movie was as pointless as, i don't know, watching informative videos on motherhood when you're a father. basically, this was a wanna-be Cody Banks with a touch of Spy Kids, and and can't you imagine how horrible that would be? adults- do not even hope for a moment of laughter. the humor is unbearbly forced and stupid and I'd rather watch Jim Carrey attempt a horror movie (haha, that is a good idea).please, spend your money on something else.

DaveyHM I think Catch That Kid is a great movie, and everyone who says it is a rip off are wrong. I could honestly say this is one of my favorite movies ever. I was drawn to it because of the rock climbing part of it, being a climber myself, and there are some scenes like that have wonderful climbing elements portrayed, like when Maddy is hanging of the safe suspended 100 feet in the air. But the movie is not about climbing, but about three friends, (Maddy, Gus, and Austin)who form a plan to rob a high security bank in order to save Maddy's dying father. This is an excellent movie and I definitely recommend seeing it. It is also quite funny, an example is how the two boys both have a crush on Maddy and often fight over her. Also the wannabe actor that the kids secretly use in their heist without him knowing it. Overall an excellent movie.
