The Nostalgia Critic introduced me to Sidekicks, maybe he introduced lots of people to the film. Sidekicks was okay, its really cheesy.
The acting was okay, nobody had juicy material. Mako gave the best performance, I think most people agree. Jonathan Brandis was easily likeable, I can see why he was a teen heartrob. Mako and Brandis are no longer around, they died years ago. Chuck Norris plays himself, he's portrayed as a superhero.
The story is cheesy and predictable, you know what's going to happen from beginning to end. The film is a cheap Karate Kid knockoff but it feels different. The film is more family friendly than Karate Kid, you don't have to worry about cursing.
The action was okay, its basic and maybe Aaron Norris was told the film must be tamer than Karate Kid. The action is cartoony since its mostly daydreams. Yes, the final fight is the best one.
Overall, Sidekicks was okay. The film is really cheesy and tame so I easily understand why people don't care for it. If your kids loved Karate Kid, they may enjoy this. If you're simply looking for a cheesy martial arts movie, you could give Sidekicks a shot.
