The movie is painless enough, even if it's never as exciting as it should be.

Reviews for Catch That Kid
Parents can catch a nap while the kids catch a dubious lesson that crime can be cool.

It's neither as funny as it needs to be nor serious enough to elicit more than a few crinkled brows from kids and their parents alike.
02/15/04
A slick little package that will seem patently ridiculous to anyone past adolescence even as their younger brothers and sisters eat it up.

Another Spy Kids rip-off that’s no great catch.

The story never really adds up.

Well-made, straightforward and entertaining.

You'll tune out quickly, unless you're 11.

The final go-cart chase is halfway exciting, but nothing can prepare you for the movie's maudlin right-wing finale.

Surprisingly lowbrow and hopelessly contrived.

A misguided attempt at creating an adult-style heist movie with a pint-sized cast.
02/06/04
Do not catch Catch That Kid, unless your own kids threaten you with direct bodily harm. Even then you might want to skip it. They’re little, the punches shouldn’t hurt that much.

Falls into the trap of so many other family pictures by alternately pandering and condescending to its pint-sized target audience.
