Catch film for entertainment

 Catch That Kid is a movie that entertains the audience with laughter and a storyline that emphasizes friendship.
Madeline’s father gets sick and needs an operation that will cost the family $250,000.
Maddy enlists the help of her two best friends to help her rob the bank where her mother is installing a new security system.
The children need each other to complete the bank heist because each child has a special skill that will be needed.
Maddy is a climber, like her father who taught her, and Gus is mechanically gifted while Austin is a computer whiz.
Maddy’s inside knowledge of the security system and the fact that it is not ready allows the children to assume success.
The two boys have a crush on Maddy, and the competition for her affection is sweet and sometimes funny.
The vault in the bank is suspended 100 feet in the air, the same distance Maddy’s father fell from a climb four years before.
That fall is what caused his current health problems.
The movie contains no fancy spy gadgets, special effects or dangerous stunts, just believable kid talents.
The children have to handle two bumbling security guards, and we have the classic bad guy, the bank president.
The film offers chase scenes with very fast go-carts, and tense climbing scenes allow the kids to show real concern for each other.
The only names in the credits that could be recognized by audience members are Jennifer Beals (Flashdance), who plays the workaholic mom, and Kristen Stewart (Panic Room), who plays Maddy.
The film is free of offensive words, but one scene done with big scary dogs (rottweilers) can be frightening to small children.
Teamwork, family and friendship—along with a little friendly jealously—combine with humor to make Catch That Kid an enjoyable family film.
