Neither the planning of the heist, nor its execution is done with the skill needed for it to be compelling.

Catch That Kid, though not produced by Disney, has all the feel of a Disney Channel TV special.

If screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas atempted to write a servicable script, it isn't obvious.

Apart from a few serious leaps in logic, the story moves along swiftly and painlessly, and is not needlessly cute or stupid. But that's not much of a recommendation.

It's doubtful that anyone involved in Catch That Kid ever considered this anything more than a paycheck.

What...you thought the Spy Kids trilogy wouldn't spawn its own line of copycats? Puh-leeze.

This thing is so silly and so ridiculous.
