The Kid
Nobody ever grows up quite like they imagined.
Production
Powerful businessman Russ Duritz is self-absorbed and immersed in his work. But by the magic of the moon, he meets Rusty, a chubby, charming 8-year-old version of himself who can't believe he could turn out so badly – with no life and no dog. With Rusty's help, Russ is able to reconcile the person he used to dream of being with the man he's actually become.

What a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting to enjoy 'The Kid' as much as I did.
Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin team up to solid effect, in a film that produces amusement and wholesomeness. I find the premise very interesting, it's a cool concept. While they might not executed to 100% perfection, what's given is entertaining to see unfold. There are some very sweet scenes, also.
Willis is, as you'd expect, the best part of this, but I think Breslin does a grand job too. The latter tended to do these sorta roles a lot, but there's a reason for that as he played them convincingly. Emily Mortimer (Amy) is also satisfactory in this, while there's a minor appearance from a younger Melissa McCarthy.
Very good, unexpectedly.
You've reached the end.
