Kidco (1983)

Member Rating:

Prominently displaying red-white-and-blue title colors, this subtly patriotic fact-based movie about kids who succeed is dated by the fact that all these daring youngsters are white, without any discernible ethnicity. Dickie (Scott Schwartz) is an enterprising kid on a ranch in southern California who puts his business tendencies to practical use in several successful ventures, aided and abetted by his siblings and other friends. When Dickie & Co. become too successful, they are taken to court by their adult business rivals, but they refuse a lawyer and defend themselves. The kids win their case against their adult competitors and their lawyers, leaving the courtroom to cheers and upraised fists from a sea of youngsters outside. Three years of law school at exorbitant costs, plus a two-year internship and years of moving up a densely-runged ladder -- just to lose to an 11-year old, amazing. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

What's up with that synopsis? Does everything have to be PC these days? If the movie was about kids of any other race than white their race would not even be mentioned in the synopsis. I loved watching this movie when I was young. This was a good "under the radar" movie for kids when I was growing up.

What does the fact that the kids are white have to do with this movie? The writer of the review is an idiot and their boss is just as stupid.
