Catch That Kid: A Critically Acclaimed Film ft. Kristen Stewart...Oh Wait...

Is it weird that after only 15 minutes, I am making room in my "favorite movie" collection for Catch That Kid.The movie introduces you to Maddie, a tween obsessed with rock climbing (cuz her daddy did it). It opens with lil Maddie climbing a water tower...and then proceeding to FALL TO HER DEATH!!!! Just kidding....she does fall, but is luckily caught by an unfaulty bolt on said tower. We're introduced to Madelene Rose's friends (the artiste and the man's man...both of whom are in 12 yr old love with her), the annoying goon/bully, as well as her family, 1/3 of which (aka her father) ends up paralyzed and requiring a Denmarkian experimental procedure. Being broke, Maddie decides to rob the bank her mom works for.

Nuff said? I know right. The movie is complete with the entire arsenal of corny music, insults and just plain crazy events that would never happen in real life, befitting a 90's kids flick (even though this was released in 2004). I suggest, for maximum enjoyment, begin watching with zero expectations, then you're golden.

What makes the experience even more enjoyable is that little Maddie is played by none other than Bella...Yes, Bella Swan makes an appearance, 'fraid Edward is prolly wandering around Canada though. Acting is pretty much verbatim of Twilight...surprise.

Some interesting things to consider while watching the movie...I know that lil Maddie is trying to help her father, but societal rules explicitly define robbing banks as bad...and immoral...and for a young person to completely disregard obligations to ethical causes with such ease (and use a savvy ability to convince others to follow suit - including emotional manipulation) calls into question her mental well-being....I mean, after saving the Dad, her mother should really consider counseling.

Also, why is the only brotha in the film assigned to "takin' care of the killer Rottweilers" and then, while doing his research gets the dogs sicked on him! Really?...Really..?

Finally, yet again, she is caught in a love triangle (practice?)...AND with a pale face and a brown face at that! lol....although....her methods in this movie are slightly different....

Sorry, can't ruin the ending for you because I turned the TV off before I could lose anymore braincells...hey, I need em for school ok...
