Aspiring Secret Service agent Sam Simms (Sinbad) is none too happy when he discovers that he has been assigned to guard teenager Luke (Brock Pierce), the rambunctious son of the United States president (James Naughton). 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.

Technically, this thing is just all over the place, and it's hard for me to overlook it...

Fine, a little long despite only being 104 minutes...the chemistry did kick in around the second half, but it's just an implausible, crazy movie...

Goofy '90s comedy with pratfalls and some gunplay.

Terrible boring Disney movie.

Nothing wrong with a good-natured children's movie. Despite always laughing at the idea of a Sinbad movie, there's really nothing wrong with a movie that shows the comic doing his best to present an honorable, well-intentioned performance as he takes on caretaking duties in the oval office. There's a lot of heart to this film, some funny moments, and a respectable story to make The First Kid a positive viewing for younger audiences.

Sinbad's charisma made the movie a light watch.
