‘The Kid Detective’ movie review: Adam Brody’s finally grown up
The Hindu
Director Evan Morgan, who makes his feature debut with this film, manages to bring disparate elements together and present an engaging watch
Have you ever wondered what kind of adults would the young sleuths we read in our childhood about grow up into? Would Fatty from Enid Blyton’s Five Find Outers zoom up the ranks in Scotland Yard? Would Frank and Joe Hardy take over their father’s detective agency or join the police? Would the Three Investigators set up an agency? Or would Pete join the movie business like his father, Bob become a reporter, and Jupiter take up acting? . Though Riverdale looks at what Archie and gang would grow up into and Nancy Drew is a darker version of the titian haired teen detective whose exploits entranced Hilary Clinton amongst others, The Kid Detective marches to a different drum. It is smart, funny, dark and heart-breaking. Evan Morgan, who makes his feature debut with this film, has managed to bring these disparate elements together to create a delicious chocolate—smooth, dark, and bitter-sweet.More Related News
