msnbynum Watched it all the time as a kid. And just watched it again as an adult. Devon is an adorable kid.

Amy Adler Nick (Burt Reynolds) is a cop who has been around the block a few times. He is a grouchy old coot to boot. Devon (Norman Golden II) is a young neighborhood lad who loves police shows and dreams of being a patrolman. One day, he witnesses a murder in a warehouse and goes to the precinct to tell the officers what he saw. However, he won't sing unless they make him a junior cop in the process. Wanting the information the little boy has to offer, they agree to put him "on the force". After that, they pair him with Nick to investigate and solve the crime Devon observed. Nick, however, hates having the youngster as a partner, even though Devon often has ideas that work, such as his strategy for getting a peace-disturbing, quarreling couple to calm themselves. But, can Nick and Devon figure out the warehouse murder without taking a few bullets themselves? I had a great time with this much-maligned movie. Reynolds is a joy, for his dry wit and facial expressions are on constant display. Young Golden, too, is talented and humorous, charming the audience in every scene. In addition, for those who like chase scenes, shoot-em-up action, and dimwitted bad guys, this one has those in abundance, also. In short, pay no attention to the harsh criticism that this flick has received and try it yourself. I believe you will "half" a very good time with Burt and his half-pint partner.

elshikh4 ..As the worst Cop Comedy not in the 1990s, but in the history of Film ! (Norman D. Golden II) is the most awful kid ever appeared in an American or even non-American movie. Didn't anybody of the movie's crew (including the casting's team, the director, and the producer) observe that (Golden) is unbearably silly, non-charismatic, and can't act ?!! One pessimistic friend of mine always used to say "when it's a failure, then it's a whole failure". Although I must disagree with him about this as an eternal rule, but noticing how the script, the action, (Burt Reynolds), and (Burt Reynolds)'s toupee, looked; I definitely wouldn't in this very case ! In the final analysis, I felt that it's not harmful; it's just pathetically poor. P.S : According to Roger Ebert's "praising" review about this movie, I think that it was the only movie he ever reviewed without watching !

Alan Dunnary I'm watching this movie on Superstation WGN right now,with my kids and it's just as bad,if not even worse than when I first saw it. You can defend it as kiddie fare,which is why I give it 2 stars instead of 1,but back then,it wasn't even advertised as a kids movie. My kids like it of course and that's fine.It was put together in promos in 1993 like it was an action-comedy and that was just misleading advertising. That is why so many people give it such low ratings. Hollywood has a history of making you think a movie is one thing,then you go to see it and it's something else altogether.I hate,and I mean hate wasting my money on a movie when given high expectations. If it weren't aimed at kids,I'd aim my rating lower. Oh...and Joey Lawrence's "Nuthin' My Love Can't Fix" as the closing song?? Ick!
