DVD, MAKE IT SO!!! Loved the movie, it needs to be out on DVD as soon as possible.
I know it's a little sappy, but Joe Piscopo's part is so funny it's perfect, hopefully they will have some extras on the disk too!
SO please bring this out on DVD!!

A boy and his hero This movie is a light hearted version of the Karate Kid. Sidekicks was a pleasure to watch. It was fun and did not take itself to seriously. Even the fight sceens were amuzing and during the shoot outs no one got hurt. Its about a boy and his tv hero and the boy becoming the hero. Jonathan Brandis was very good and believeable in the part. Chuck Noris and Joe Piscapoe were at their best. The movie did not feel the need to have a fight to the death for a finally instead there was a wholesome message and a moral. The movie had a lot of laughs and some mild drama nothing intense.even Chuck,s big fightsceene with Joe Piscapo is funny The cast was excelent so was the soundtrac. This movie is suitable for all age groupes. If you are like me and like light entertainment a happy ending and a wholesome message than this movie is for you.
Nothing special, but surprisingly enjoyable First off, let me say that I only bought Sidekicks because Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years was in it. I'm lukewarm toward Chuck Norris and Beau Bridges, and I am certainly no fan of Joe Piscopo or the late Jonathan Brandis. That being said, I have to say that I rather enjoyed this movie, despite the fact that Danica McKellar's role is pretty insubstantial in the balance of things. I can identify in some ways with the main character Barry, a little guy who gets picked on and laughed at by his classmates but who dreams big dreams indeed. Barry's dreams, though, unlike my own, involve feats of strength and endurance. Actually, his daydreams are getting out of hand; far too often he loses himself completely in fantasies wherein his hero Chuck Norris and he take on and vanquish scores of bad guys and, as often as not, rescue little ladies such as Barry's teacher or McKellar's character (who, early on, feels sorry for Barry and wants only to be the poor little guy's friend). Barry begins taking martial arts lessons from a Mr. Lee (Mako) and eventually amazes everyone, including himself, by standing up to the class bully. His true test comes in the state karate championships, however, where he finds himself in need of a partner in order to take on his nemesis from school and the boy's arrogant instructor (Piscopo). Wouldn't it be cool if Chuck Norris showed up and agreed to be Brandon's partner? The one thing I did not like about Sidekicks is the ending, wherein a few questions were raised in an effort to blur the line between fantasy and reality again. Obviously, Sidekicks is very similar to The Karate Kid, except this movie has two things The Karate Kid does not - Chuck Norris playing himself and the wonderful Danica McKellar lending her divine presence to the proceedings. This movie will most likely appeal to young people, but if you enjoy films featuring underdogs achieving success, Sidekicks might just be up your alley.
back when Chuck Norris was famous, now he's a wash up JOKE who's forgotten about Some little boy is a Chuck Norris want to be every day he day dreams about him. He takes ninja classes and competes in a tournment. He breaks 9 bricks which he was scared to do at first what help him contrate was his master giving him advice and setting the bricks on fire.
