Disney's The Kid is a 2000 film starring Bruce Willis, Emily Mortimer, and Spencer Breslin.40-year-old Russ Duritz is a successful image consultant with a variety of clients ranging from TV personalities, to famous athletes to government officials. He has a nice car, a large house, everything you could ask for... except a life. He's also a bit of a jerk.One day he finds a kid who somehow got into his house and makes a startling discovery. This kid is Rusty Duritz, himself at age 8. Now he has to figure out what to do with... himself while starting to remember a few things that he had forgotten about himself.Not to be confused with The Kid (1921), which stars Charlie Chaplin. | |

The Kid (2000) / int_14b85a5f | comment |
Fat Idiot: Rusty, at least to Russ' view. He isn't all that bright and gets picked on for being fat, so in Russ' mind, he's a loser. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The page quote is yelled like a tantrum in the trailer (and without the 'jets' part), but in the movie itself it's spoken in a disappointed tone (and without the 'get this straight' part). | |

The Kid (2000) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Russ's father verbally abused his son so harshly that it ended up emotionally crippling him well into his adult years. However, it's revealed that his father was struggling to cope with his wife's terminal illness and lashed out at Russ out of fear of being reminded of how little time his wife had left. In the present, he clearly regrets how he treated his son and wants to reconnect with him. | |

The Kid (2000) / int_3866ab91 | comment |
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Russ's mother died when he was a kid, and by all accounts she was an angel in the house, while his father... wasn't. This is made clear when she pleads with her angsty husband not to scare Rusty, as he's had a hard day dealing with the bullies, but his father lets his fear get the better of him, as the doctor had advised his wife against leaving the house. | |

The Kid (2000) / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Amy has the personality and the dynamic with Russ, but the trope is subverted in that Russ staunchly resists all her attempts to bring out "the kid" in him, and almost drives her away forever when she finally has enough of his excessively assholish attitude. Ultimately, Russ has to deal with his own emotional issues (via Rusty) and become open to love and life on his own before they can be together. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Russ is a bit of a cranky jerk but a good person at heart. The movie softens him up a great deal as he deals with his younger self and tackles the inner demons that caused his younger self to somehow arrive in his current timeline. | |

Greater-Scope Paragon: Throughout the film, a red biplane keeps appearing, usually right before something happens that causes Russ to reevaluate his life, implying whoever's flying it is controlling everything that's been going on since his 8-year-old self suddenly appeared. The pilot turns out to be Russ himself...from thirty years in the future, who's finally achieved his dream of becoming a pilot, owns a Golden Retriever named Chester and has come back to get his two younger selves back on a better path. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
The Kid (2000) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Both Russ and Rusty get a few when we first meet them. This was probably done to show firsthand how different the two are. Russ: When we first meet Russ, he pays for the product of the woman in front of him, who can't find her credit card. However, he only does it because he's in a hurry, and then he has the nerve to tell her (rather rudely) to be more organized. When he's talking to a weeping governess, he tells her to stop crying, but only because she's giving him a headache. Rusty: The first time we actually meet Rusty (after Russ spent a few scenes chasing him), he's watching cartoons and pigging out on popcorn. He tells Russ that he was only after his model airplane... and then he saw the popcorn. | |

Bratty Half-Pint: The main source of tension between Russ and Rusty at first is simply that Rusty is a bratty kid who talks too much and doesn't listen to pretty much anyone except for Amy. And even then he only listens to her because he has a Precocious Crush on her. | |

The Kid (2000) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Russ's dad is revealed to have been verbally abusive, to the point that young Rusty was afraid to tell him that he found a screw he lost because he was afraid of incurring his wrath. Also that his father grabbed him by the shoulders, shook him violently, let him know that his mother was dying, and harshly accused him of killing her faster after getting into a fight in school, and worst of all, that this episode alone (never mind the fact that this man had to raise Rusty alone after his mother died) would force Rusty to suppress his emotions and turn him into an emotionally crippled adult because he harshly forced him to stop crying, and then to grow up faster, which only increased Rusty's fear. | |

Demoted to Extra: Jeri Ryan originally had a supporting role in this film as one of Russ' clients, and there would have been a minor Romantic Plot Tumor later in the film involving her character, where she starts hitting on Russ, and making Amy jealous. In the final cut however, Ryan's role was obliterated completely, and now she only has a small cameo on Russ' television being interviewed. | |

Boxing Lesson | |
The Kid (2000) / int_ba4d38b4 | comment |
Boxing Lesson: In an effort to toughen himself against bullies, Russ gets his boxer friend to teach Rusty. After the boxer learns it's for bullies he says "He doesn't need boxing, he needs to learn street fighting." | |

It's All About Me | |
The Kid (2000) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: Russ' constant concerns about his clients' relapses are clearly aimed more at how they will affect his own image than theirs. | |

Used to Be a Sweet Kid | |
The Kid (2000) / int_be0ad6b7 | comment |
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Russ was once a kind, sweet-natured kid but a combination of bad experiences such as losing his mother to cancer and his career made him a jaded, cynical adult. | |

Money Is Not Power | |
The Kid (2000) / int_bfb5f597 | comment |
Money Is Not Power: Or happiness. Deirdre calls Russ out on the fact that he's about to turn 40 and "haven't acquired a single thing of real value in your life, and no, money doesn't count." He has no friends, no contact with his family, and the only woman he actually cares about has finally gotten fed up with his lying. | |

Fighting Back Is Wrong | |
The Kid (2000) / int_d260f885 | comment |
Fighting Back Is Wrong: Russ and Rusty's elation when Rusty succeeds in fighting off his bullies is short-lived, when Rusty is hauled into the principal's office and his terminally-ill mother is called to the school to get him, leading to an even worse berating from his father. | |

Everyone Can See It | |
The Kid (2000) / int_dbd2c15e | comment |
Everyone Can See It: Russ and Amy. It's apparent from their very first scene that they have oodles of Unresolved Sexual Tension, but Russ is completely closed off as a person and doesn't want to get involved even though he clearly likes her a lot. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
The Kid (2000) / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Rusty got into trouble for beating up the bullies to save Tripod from getting burned alive. Russ and Rusty have no idea why; the bullies most likely ratted on Rusty as payback. Not only is Rusty hauled into the principal's office for fighting; but once he gets home, his father, quite cruelly, lets Rusty know that his mother is dying and accuses the boys of trying to kill her faster with the stunt he pulled. Plus, the bullies will continue to harass him until college. | |

Anger Born of Worry | |
The Kid (2000) / int_f4b1129f | comment |
Anger Born of Worry: Russ explains to young Rusty that his father yelled at him and told him he was killing his mother not because he really believes Rusty to be responsible, but because he's just scared—scared for his wife, scared about the prospect of having to raise him alone—and that he was expressing it badly. | |

Brick Joke: When Rusty sees a large orange moon, he becomes very excited and wonders what makes it turn that color. At the very end, right before the credits start rolling, a brief scientific explanation for this phenomenon pops up. | |
