First Kid

Luke Davenport is the 13 year old son of Paul Davenport, the President of the United States, and first lady Linda Davenport. Ill tempered Agent Woods is the secret service agent in charge of Luke. Woods is fired after mistreating Luke in front of media cameras. Woods is then replaced by former boxer Sam Simms, who won a boxing title in 1977. Sam is eager to take the job-even though no one else wants it. Everyone thinks that Luke is just a brat when the only thing Luke wants is to just fit in and be like every other kid at his school, the Georgetown Academy. Sam almost gets fired when Luke gets decked at school by school bully Rob MacArthur. This is when Sam decides to use his boxing expertise to teach Luke how to fight. Luke has his eyes on classmate Katie Warren, but so does Rob. Katie agrees to go with Luke to an upcoming school dance, so Sam teaches Luke how to dance. Rob is also at the dance, but this time when Rob tries to deck Luke, Luke turns the tables and decks Rob. Sam is then fired for taking Luke to the dance without permission, although Luke had the permission of his parents, but secret service chief Morton didn't want Luke leaving the White House grounds while Luke's parents were on the campaign trail. Luke runs away anyway to meet a friend that he has been chatting on the internet with. The meeting is set to take place at a local mall,where Luke discovers that his secret friend is a now psychotic Woods, who blames Luke for his firing and wants revenge on Luke, but not if Sam can help it. This movie is supposed to focus on the kid, but Sinbad totally steals the movie, and does a terrific job. This movie is worth your two hours.Read full review...

It's Sinbad to the rescue, he's such a great guy!

This movie is 1 of Sinbad's best movies. As a member of the secret service he is forced to take on the job given to him to watch over and protect the president's son, and over time he becomes a mentor and great friend to this very lonely and secluded teenager. Only Sinbad could make this movie worth watching and enjoy with good quality clean fun for the whole family.
Too many movies out there with unnecessary vulgar speech and sexual content. Not this one - It's great.
I'm glad to add this movie to my collection.Read full review...

Sinbad shines as Secret Service agent in funny First Kid

Sinbad doesn't always get the credit he deserves as a comedian or comedic actor, but he delivers in this effort.

Sinbad plays a Secret Service agent who is put in charge of protecting the President's son. Neither is happy with the arrangement as Sinbad's Simms would rather have the glory assignment of protecting the President and Luke would rather be a regular kid who isn't shadowed by a bodyguard every moment of his life. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh some more, and you might not even care that the script is a play-it-by-the-numbers straightforward affair. The acting is sufficient for what is asked by the script, and the plot is predictable but still makes you feel good at the end.

This movie is strictly good, wholesome fun for the family. Don't go into it thinking anything else.Read full review...

great family film!

You can't go wrong with Disney! I thought this movie was great! It shows you that being the child of someone who is constantly "on the go" and in the media is not what it's cracked up to be. Kids of famous parents have the same problems of being a kid as anyone else.
Sinbad did great in this film as the bodyguard. Not only did he help the kid he was protecting but he helped himself as well.
And lastly, this movie has a message that everyone needs to hear. Basically it's to be cautious of who you chat with on the internet because they may not be what they say they are and that could be potentially dangerous.
I would recommend this movie to anyone, not just because it's Disney, but because it's something the whole family can relate to and enjoy!Read full review...
