That was an excellent one.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Brilliant and touching

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Mikey is a horrifying thriller telling the story of a 10 year old boy with more than slight psychotic tendancies.Many people say the concept is far fetched, I'd be inclined to agree but not to an extent where I couldn't take it seriously.One fascinating fact about Mikey is that it's still to this day prohibited in the United Kingdom. It was banned due to the James Bulger murder, but alike the accused Childs Play 3 (1991) there are no similarities at all. Most movies are re-reviewed for release but due to red tape Mikey never has been and likely won't be.It's one of those films that gets under your skin and succeeds in doing so from the opening through to the closing credits.I'm not saying Mikey is a good film because it's not, but it does what it sets out to do and you have to give it credit for that.The Good:Kid does a great jobVery unsettlingThe Bad:Still a rather average effortThings I Learnt From This Movie:This is reason 7878952 why I don't want childrenAshley Laurence should have had a better careerGirls liking "Bad boys" when will they learn?

The 'killer kid' concept has been done time and time again, but Mikey really pulls it off. He is adopted by a loving young couple who can't have kids of their own, and they think he is amazing. At a primate zoo show he stops to return a purse to an old lady, he loves the baby fish at his new home and he befriends the next-door neighbor's kid immediately. The only one who thinks he's a little off is his new teacher, especially when he hands her a crayon drawing of a turkey with an ax hacking a group of pilgrims to death.To impress the teenage neighbor girl nearby, Mikey plays dead as a practical joke. He falls in love with her and gets mad when he sees her making love to her boyfriend, smashing the window. Mikey also kills her beloved cat Rosie, and she blames the boyfriend. Soon other people note how disturbing his actions are, and when the boyfriend is electrocuted to death in the hot tub it soon becomes a massacre of neighbors as Mikey rids himself of his adoptive family.Mikey has great acting and soundtrack, was rather unoriginal but nonetheless a great film.

What a disgusting, creepy, absurd movie. Implausible beyond belief, and gratuitously violent beyond description. Disturbing (not in a good way) on many levels - such as Josie Bissett telling the kid that he's a "good kisser." If they thought that Jodie Foster might be warped by playing Iris in "Taxi Driver" (a brilliant movie), how the hell did they prepare Brian Bonsall to act in this piece of garbage? 0 stars out of 1 million.

I absolutely loved this movie and over the years I have watched it over and over again. I've made my friends and my family watch it and I've recommended it to everyone I know. This movie really gives me the willies because somehow the thought of a child being like Mikey is just plain out scary. I can't really go into details without spoiling the movie so I can just say: SEE IT!!PS: That the main character also starred in "Family Ties" didn't spoil anything for me any of the times I saw it. He isn't as cute in this movie as he is in the series...
