LITTLE MANHATTAN

Theater: Fox's Little Theater, Fox Studios, California

It's a romantic comedy between two ten year olds in New York City. It has cute written all over it, and it actually pulls it off. It's hard not to laugh as you see these kids try to be adults, but pull it off with all the awkward clumsiness of inexperienced courtship. It even has martial arts, although kung-fu enthusiasts will be disappointed to learn that instead of using Bruce Lee footage, a fictional martial arts celebrity was created ... presumably because it was cheaper.

See it if - you want a go-to-the-movies date movie.
Rent it if - you want a stay-at-home date movie.
