Agent 00 Kid's

The Paul family, responsible for a number of awful films over the years (like "Baby Geniuses"), were responsible for this equally awful spy comedy. To be sure, the Pauls were able to round up a once in a lifetime cast - besides Corey Haim, the movie also boasts Brigitte Nielsen (whose name is misspelled in the closing credits), John Rhys-Davies, Wallace Shawn, Nicole Eggert, Anne Francis, and Karen Black (though some of these actors only make a brief appearance.) However, this cast is the only thing interesting about the movie. It's a pretty cheap affair, looking very tacky and undernourished in every shot. Worse than the production values is the script. The script is extremely padded out, with the hero making a number of stupid and/or illogical decisions in order to stretch things out to ninety-five minutes. This may explain why director Duncan McLachlan seems unable to add spark and action to make the enterprise lively and engaging, especially in the boring climax that just goes on and on long past the breaking point. Even kids will find the movie extremely underwhelming.

This is surprisingly terrible on all fronts. What is shocking is just how bad this is with so many well known actors involved. Corey Haim, Brigette Neilson and a few other very recognisable faces. This is another one of those teen as secret agent movies which are aimed at kids yet this doesn't have the tone of a kids movie due to the profanity and deaths. There is a scene involving a payed escort! Just what age group is this for? Its too silly for older kids but clearly not kid friendly. It seems to be an attempt at a send up of James Bond movies based on the score which must be the worst I have ever heard, its one man on a cheap sounding synth playing an obvious 007 rip off. It has no excitement, tension or humour to speak of. Not sure that the MST3K guys could have made this one watchable. Seriously just avoid.

Silly film, but then again, I think being silly was the point. While it is silly, it's not well done silly.

It's a goofy movie, with computer graphics that weren't state of the art in 1993, never mind today. There's some humor that works. Brigitte Nielsen looks great in a bunch of tight outfits, and you get to watch good actors seriously slumming. If it's 2AM and you've been drinking, it might be worth your time.

OK, I grew up in the 80s. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were considered the young guys to see on the screen at one point. You won't know why if you see this movie. Basically, it looks like one of those movies thrown together to get little teenie bopper girls to watch just because it has a "cute guy" in it. I highly recommend skipping this one. Even my preteen son didn't like it. I bought it sight-unseen since it was only $5.50 and I thought my son would enjoy it. He liked Agent Cody Banks, and I figured this would be -- not as good -- but passable. Anybody want a free DVD? Watched only once. ? OK, no takers, and I don't blame you. Read the back. The blurb is better than the movie. Then you can at least not be ignorant of the fact that Corey Haim made more than one bomb in his short career.
