Life with Mikey-Seen It, But Still Decent

Photo courtesy of Amazon and Disney. Michael J. Fox played a former child actor turned struggling child actor agent named Mikey Chapman. But the better side of him is brought out when he becomes the agent of a snarky yet witty kid named Angie Vega, played by Christina Vidal. While it wasn't the best I've seen of Fox-- then again, I haven't seen a lot of roles that can beat his adventurous McFly days, it was good to see that like Dwayne Johnson in The Game Plan, he learned how to take care of family and himself at the same time when a little girl waltzed into his life. I'd say people would enjoy Angie and Mikey's chemistry, and I enjoyed Angie's quick witz and fiery spirit. And there were some times I enjoyed Fox's charming humor. If you ask me, maybe Fox did this to relfect on his own times as a kid with his son. Either way, the story seems familiar, like Annie and The Game Plan, and it's not the best light of Nathan Lane, Cyndi Lauper or young David Krumholtz, but it's still decent and heartwarming to give a whirl. Great job, Vidal and Fox!
