The Kid with X-Ray Eyes

About This Movie

The Kid with X-Ray Eyes is a quirky mix of comedy and family adventure that, despite its obscurity, has a certain charm. The plot centers around young Justin and his uncle, who stumble upon a pair of X-ray goggles that set off a chain of events with an evil crime ring. It's a bit of a wild ride, especially when they get kidnapped along with the Feds. The pacing is a little uneven at times, but that adds to its playful tone. The practical effects used for the goggles are amusing, and the performances, particularly by the leads, bring a lighthearted energy to the film. It’s not groundbreaking, but it captures a specific late '90s vibe that’s hard to replicate.
