Life with Mikey

Michael J. Fox, Nathan Lane, Cyndi Lauper, and Christina Vidal star in this really, really funny movie. Michael J. Fox is Michael Chapman, a washed up actor that starred in his own television show as a child. Now he's a children's talent agent looking for that big break. Nathan Lane is his brother who's working together with Michael at Chapman & Chapman Talent Agency. Cyndi Lauper is funny with her Brooklyn accent as their secretary. Christina Vidal is Angie Vega, a wise-talking con artist who could be Michael's only break at any type of future. This movie is great and everybody in the family will enjoy this.

Former child star Michael Chapman (Michael J. Fox) runs a talent agency with his brother Ed Chapman (Nathan Lane). Geena Briganti (Cyndi Lauper) is their secretary. Annoying little Barry Corman (David Krumholtz) is their only good earner. Michael has a run-in with sassy pickpocket Angie Vega (Christina Vidal) and decides to put her to work.

I definitely saw this back in the 90's. I recently found it again and I like it. The filmmaking is a bit clunky. This is really more like an 80's movie in terms of quality. What I truly like are the actors. There is no one more charming than Michael J. Fox. It's Christina Vidal's first film. She's a little awkward but there is real charisma behind the created sass. I like the pairing. It's not the best made or the best written movie but I like everyone in it.

This is a great movie and michael J. Fox does excellent in this role! This is the movie that marked the beginning of the career of christina vidal, although some others may not agree I thought she did great. As the little tough girl from the streets of brooklyn she does an excellent job. This movie is something I bought after seeing this on HBO and to me is a classic. This is definitley worth a look and I give it 4 1/2 to 5 out of 5 stars. One thing to know about this movie. Don't think about it. JUST WATCH!

this is a film that is about a former kid-star (Mikey Chapman by MJF) who become kid-star-manager. he had met Angie (Christina Vidal, Freaky Friday's red hair girl, "u make me cry out, I want to get out") coz angie steal his wallet in a street...then mikey find angie have talent...

it's a very touching film that you should try watch once. some words inside may not be good to hear...like one scene when mikey return home, angie say a adult male item. don't say here coz comments better not contain sex or sth like that. I don't think that this film is very boring but some ppl may feel it boring. that is your own tolerance ...

This may not be a very exciting or very interesting film but at least it's decent to watch and not contain nudity. I suggest all my friend to watch.

one thing to show to you why I love this movie, My christian name is Mikey. hahaha...but anyways, read once...watch once and you will say why don't you enjoy this film b4.

though frighteners is 1000 times better than mikey, life with mikey is also being easily forgotten !

I love this movie - Michael J Fox and Nathan Lane, you wouldn't expect anything but genuine comedy. The entry of this movie is one of the reasons why I do not want to give much respect to IMDb ratings. Everyone wants to be an arty or an intellect here, when movies like these (though not very intellectual, having brilliant entertainment value sans rubbish) get lost with low ratings.

There are some insanely funny scenes - at the same time there are some wonderfully touching moments as well. I watched this movie 10 yrs ago - I love it now as much as I loved it back then. The atmosphere of the film is simple, entertaining and funny.

This is a must watch, if you enjoy light-hearted, genuinely funny comedies. Very good movie 9/10
