While Simms and Luke initially clash, they slowly form a friendship, particularly bonding over the young student's issues with a bully. The pair's improved relationship, however, doesn't stop the trouble-prone kid from getting into plenty of antics. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Feb 20 Buy Now

      Joel H I didn't dislike First Kid nearly as much as I thought I was going to, but I also didn't think it was that funny. Most of humor depends on whether you find Sinbad to be entertaining or not. He mostly just seems to riff on the scene and improvise his lines. Sometimes it works. Most of the time it doesn't. I found the titular kid to be highly annoying for the first part of the film, too, but I guess that was kind of the point. The story also takes an oddly dark turn at the end, which I wasn't expecting in such a lighthearted movie. I don't regret watching it, but I probably won't watch it again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring Sinbad as a Secret Service agent that is assigned to protect the U.S. President's son. The son is played by Brock Pierce, and while he didn't nail every scene, he did a good job acting. Him and Sinbad also worked well together during the film and the relationship between them is the heart of the movie. Sinbad as a comedian works for me about 80% of the time. So some of the jokes I didn't find funny and some of the humor comes from awkward situations, which I'm not a fan of. The drama, tension and villain in the third act all come out of nowhere and move the movie along, but were not set up great. If you like Sinbad or the premise sounds good to you, then check this movie out. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Muito clichê, para a época normal, família rica tradicional branca, filho mimado incompreendido e um guarda costa negro malandrão que se torna um anjo na vida do playboyzinho, fofinho, bonitinho, entretanto clichê… Sempre fofinhos os filmes sobre relacionamentos de amizade e carinho padrão carente e empregado desajuizado, apesar soar forçosamente fake, fofo...
