I am not a big fan of Sinbad's movies, but he made me laugh more than once in this movie. I recommend it to people of all ages! The other actors are OK, but it has a good plot and strong ending. Don't let the Disney fool you. I think that this is one of the best childrens movies I have seen lately.

In the 90s, Sinbad was doing pretty well for himself in the family comedy genre. First Kid falls into that genre. It's a safe harmless comedy for all ages. Though it has, unfortunately, aged like milk. Watching it in 2020 is a challenge. Although it still has it's funny moments, it's just can't compare to other films in the same genre that have come out since. Where as films like Home Alone, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, or The Sandlot are timeless classics, First Kid definitely had it's expiration date. Brock Pierce was an OK child actor but he definitely needed Sinbad to prop him up. He hasn't done any films since 1997, so perhaps Hollywood was well aware of his limited acting chops. It's OK, child actors in the 90s were a dime a dozen and most of them have since moved on in their lives, Pierce among them.

If you want a safe child-friendly family comedy to kill an hour and a half, there are much better films to choose from, but if you've seen them all, give this one a chance. It is indeed entertaining.

The movie is about Luke a 13 years old boy but he´s not a normal kid, he´s the first kid! Luke is very difficult kid because he has no friends and not a normal life so he annoys his bodyguard. When he gets a new bodyguard they are getting friends soon and Luke learns some things like normal kids like dance, boxing and about girls.

OK the story from the rich misunderstood kid isn´t really new but I liked this movie. It´s simple a fell good and have fun movie. Brock Pierce and Sindbad did a really good job, I liked the dialogues between them. I worth to see it!

Why does this movie get such low reviews; it's terrific!!!!! I love Sinbad and he is very funny in all of his movies such as this, "Jingle All The Way," "Houseguest," etc.; he's DA BOMB!!!!! LOL Anyway, it's about a kid who lived in the White House. No, he can't be qualified to run our country just yet, but still... Anyhow, he likes to get spy gear, talk with his buddy Mongoose_12, and use his pet snake to trick people into thinking he's doing homework and stuff...LOL Some parts range from serious (seeing one of the "Home Improvement" kids as a bully; watching the "baked bean" fly out of that bad guy's gun) to LOL (Laugh Out Loud) fun (the spit ball the size of ice cream!!!!!; the pizza/Coke mascot, etc.)!!!!!

Anyways, I've seen this in the theater in 1996, and have seen this a lot on the old Disney Channel after that. "First Kid" is a cool movie!!!!!

10/10

Okay, okay. The movie doesn't aim at high quality. It's not meant to be. It is meant to be funny and entertaining. It is shallow and sometimes oversubscribed. However, I thought that a) Brock Pierce did a wonderful job, b) I could deduce some messages of life, c) the plot was nice and d) the interaction between Sinbad and Brock was rather substantial and well staged. Brock Pierce showed how lonesome and frustrating the life as the "First Kid" can be, how isolated he is and how much he suffers from this isolation. Sinbad - I mean, he is a clumsy guy, but he did fine in here. I never thought that he was constrained or fake. The movie as a whole lacks a realistic storyline, but that didn't matter to me. I was rather attracted by the scene in which Brock told him amid tears how outcast he felt, and I thought it was witty how Sinbad showed him what to do about it. Definitely not a masterpiece but surely above the average.
