I have a feeling this film was written by an untalented 12 year old, or maybe Gary Coleman himself, as Jimmy the Kid was a sad attempt at sophomoric humor about idiotic kidnappers trying to use tiny Coleman(Jimmy)as ransom for an African American husband and wife country duo(go figure), and the comedy falls flat with bad one-liners and stereotypical characters, like the late Pat Morita and his silly coke bottle glasses; he was the wealthy family's butler and chauffeur. Every time we see him drive, Asian jingles were played to provide humor, but most definitely did the opposite and was embarrassing to view this tripe. I thought Ruth Gordon was the only interesting character who displayed any funny moments throughout this mess, but even she couldn't save this piece of trash. I have to wonder why a local channel(WFMZ)would show Jimmy the Kid on a Saturday night at 8pm. I had funnier root canals performed on me. Let me add that the late Don Adams added the usual bumbling detective routine, and Dee Wallace played a very dumb blonde kidnapper who's annoyingly mother-like to the little feller for much of the second half of the film.
