A diminuitive, 12-year-old boy named Spencer (Joseph Mazzello of Jurassic Park and The River Wild) has been hit with every whammy possible: he's new in town, he's motherless, his preoccupied father and bored sister have no time for him, he's speechless each time he's near a girl he likes, and the school bully would like to dance on his head. Blessed are beleaguered boys in movies, however, for sometimes high adventure awaits. In Spencer's case, things get better when he finds a seven-foot-tall, alien robot suit that becomes one with whoever climbs inside it. Locked inside the metallic visitor, our little hero is capable of super feats and naturally goes after his tormentor. He also inadvertently leaves a lot of wreckage in his path from unfamiliarity with the suit's size and controls. This family film's message, of course, is that nothing can really make one stronger than learning to face problems within one's own skin. Then again, most people don't end up having to fend off hostile extraterrestrials who come to Earth to steal the suit for their own nefarious purposes. Written and directed by Manny Coto, this charming story relies a bit on some clever, well-executed special effects (the look of the robot's face as seen from inside itself is particularly ingenious), but it is largely driven by its actors' abilities. --Tom Keogh

very funny and excellent movie.......2007-01-13

I enjoyed watching Star Kid. It is a very funny and excellent movie. it had me laughing the whole time.

Joseph Mazzello in his real comedic-drama role ROCKS.......2006-10-20

Star Kid is a lighter film in the repertoire of Joseph Mazzello, and is the first movie where His name heads the cast. He carries this movie almost solely by himself. This is a fun FAMILY sort of film of the lighter sort and makes for a good time watch.

But, there is more to this movie. The vast number of close-ups of Joseph's face (when he is inside the alien-built cyber-suit) is a STUDY in good acting-concentration. I never knew that Joe's face was that expressive ( and while we are on this topic, did ANYONE catch Joe "pulling a Bugs Bunny" with his eye brows, in an early scene of Simon Birch?). Anyway, my point is that Joseph has a RARE and magical face that is wonderfully expressive. Star Kid is solid, and a fun flick to watch over popcorn or hot coco. For those who are BIG Joseph Mazzello fans, this film is "Sine Qua Non"--indespensable--for your collection.
You see more of him than anyone else and he carries this film from A-to-Z.
Best of all, it is Joe's first significant work at lighter fare/quasi-comedy. Popcorn anyone?

Good Family Movie.......2006-07-01

Very good for the whole family to see. Has some comedy in it as well as drama. This little boy learns a lot about himself and his family when he finds and uses this robot suit

Great Film..........2005-04-08

I am a big Joseph Mazzello fan and all his films I've seen have all gotten big 4 or 5's from me in the rating scale so I figured I'd give this one a shot. I was happy I did. The acting is avergley good except for Joseph who did a excellent job as always. The film is about a 12 year old kid Spencer Griffith(Joseph Mazzello) who is lonesome and just wants to be liked, one day when hes inside his room at night reading his comics ext. He catches a glimpse of a bright object falling from the sky and into a old junkyard not too far away. He investigates and ends up finding a cybor suit that he eventually gets inside of thus becoming the 'Star Kid'. He decides to do some payback to bullys and other people who have been mean to him but then a evil monster comes to the town bent on destroying earth and anything that gets in its way. Thats when the trouble begins.

The film is a nice and adventorous tale which i'm sad to say is impossible to find on DVD! I love this movie and is a great film to see if your ever depressed or just want to get 'out of this world'. I recommend it.

Great Movie.......2004-08-26

This was a great movie! The only bad part of it was from the first few minutes of the film when Spencer is acting too much like a dork. Once he finds the suit, the movie's awesome. The movie was funny and cool and the bad guy is really cool too with all the things he could do with his body. Fun and interesting movie.

Not as entertaining as the first........2007-01-04

If you like the genre of 80's martial arts films like I do, this one isn't too bad.

cute video for the kids.......2000-06-11

This one has the same normal kid as in the first one but now with a supernatural twist about two magic rings that each give the wearer special fighting powers. When our hero gets the first ring baddies came after him from everywhere. There are some corny lines like when at the end he is fighting the god like man with both rings and show how he can shoot bolts of lightning that make cars explode and his freinds tell everyone around them not to use their guns because the powerless little boy needs the pride of killing a deity all by himself, there by putting hostages at risk. Leave it to the power ranger fans unless you're desperate for fight scenes
