Synopsis

Some say that to be the leader of a country is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. But being the child of a world leader can be doubly so. Constantly surrounded by security officers, restricted in movements and having almost every waking moment carefully monitored makes normalcy an impossibility. No one knows this better than young Luke Davenport, the son of U.S. President Davenport. He vents his loneliness, frustration and feelings of isolation from family and friends by being a brat to his private Secret Service agent. When the agent snaps from the strain in front of the First Lady, a new agent is assigned to Luke. He turns out to be the enormous Sam Simms, a bit of a rogue who managed to rise through the ranks by sheer determination rather than strict adherence to Secret-Service protocol. At first, Luke tries all his old tricks upon Sam. But instead of getting angry, Sam seems to actually understand.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Python Hyena First Kid (1996): Dir: David Mickey Evans / Cast: Sinbad, Brock Pierce, Timothy Busfield, Blake Boyd, James Naughton: Part family film and part really bad skit. Sinbad plays secret agent Sam Simms assigned to protect the President's son. With his wild ties and sense of humour he attempts to win the boy over. After failing attempts he decides to teach the kid how to box, dance and ask out girls. The only thing he left out is teaching the screenwriter how to write a decent story. Simple plot travels formula with little or nothing original to be found. It is disturbing how the villain got to his current state. Director David Mickey Evans does what he can with the cardboard material but he is dealing with recycled nonsense. Sinbad is basically reduced to formula doing everything expected. Brock Pierce is hardly likable as the kid. In fact had he not been such a snot nose brat then none of this would have happened. Timothy Busfield plays a former bodyguard who is mistreated by this miserable brat. Blake Boyd provides no personality as the President. He is played by James Naughton and is the basic father who is absent but learns lessons of fatherhood by the conclusion. What a total crock. Film supposedly stresses the importance of good adult role models but comes off as a juvenile James Bond that should be locked away and never heard from again. Score: 1 / 10
Seth Nelson 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
Miss_X 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!
neoprene I thought I'd stumbled upon another cheesy movie. But no, this is one of the good ones. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised why it's getting such a low rating.Sam Simms (Sinbad) is hired to be the personal Secret Service agent of the President's son Luke Davenport (Brock Pierce), after the current agent got fired. No wonder, too, because Luke is a pain in the neck who pulls all kinds of stunts and practical jokes - for fun or for attention? You'll find out.Sinbad and Brock Pierce work wonderfully together, and the scenes with the two of them are good. The scenes with them and Dash (Blake Boyd) are even better. I must say that I particularly liked Dash's (however brief) dancing outside the school hall - seem familiar? Oh, yes.They could have left out the kidnapping plot, but it does make for an interesting addition.A great movie. Worth the rental.
