Veary cute movie. Its family friendly and a joy to watch. Great for any age. Its one of the best movies.
Viewer Reviews The first time I saw Rent-A-Kid 5 or 6 years ago I wasn't impressed, probably because I expected edgier humor from Leslie Nielsen (Forbidden Planet, Poseidon Adventure) and Christopher Lloyd (Who Framed Roger Rabbit).
When I watched it again last week, I enjoyed the film much more than I remembered, though Lloyd pretty much plays it straight, and the humor is all suitable for the whole family. Nielsen is very funny in a different way than usual for him, as an absent minded businessman, always thinking of making a profit (he comes up with the title idea), seeming oblivious of the consequences. Along with the humor the story gradually becomes more of a heartwarming drama, so I recommend this film for families to watch together - get some laughs if nothing else.
