Life with Mikey (1993)

This movie has enough laughs and touching moments to make it very worth watching. My favorite part is the child auditioning at the end and singing her heart out. Cyndi Lauper is very funny too.

Fmovies: I love Michael J. Fox, so while I was channel surfing and caught a glimpse of him Life With Mikey, naturally I kept watching. I thought that both Fox and Lane were wonderful, and the movie also sparked an interest in David Krumholtz, who plays the pretentious (and annoying) child actor. I thought that the script was very funny, and it was acted well too. 4 out of 5 stars.

This movie was so awesome! One of the best movies ever! All the actors did a great job. It was hilarious! Everyone should see it. I have watched it about three million times and I still have not gotten sick of it. Funny! Funny! Funny! :)

Life with Mikey fmovies. this is a film that is about a former kid-star (Mikey Chapman by MJF) who become kid-star-manager. he had met Angie (Christina Vidal, Freaky Friday's red hair girl, "u make me cry out, I want to get out") coz angie steal his wallet in a street...then mikey find angie have talent...

it's a very touching film that you should try watch once. some words inside may not be good to hear...like one scene when mikey return home, angie say a adult male item. don't say here coz comments better not contain sex or sth like that. I don't think that this film is very boring but some ppl may feel it boring. that is your own tolerance ...

This may not be a very exciting or very interesting film but at least it's decent to watch and not contain nudity. I suggest all my friend to watch.

one thing to show to you why I love this movie, My christian name is Mikey. hahaha...but anyways, read once...watch once and you will say why don't you enjoy this film b4.

though frighteners is 1000 times better than mikey, life with mikey is also being easily forgotten !

Michael J. Fox's considerable on screen charm was used to good advantage in LIFE WITH MIKEY, in which he played the former child star of a sitcom called "Life with Mikey" who now is partnered with his brother (Nathan Lane) in running a children's talent agency, even though his brother does most of the work. Things look up when Mike literally bumps into 10-year old shoplifter (Kristina Vidal)who Mike sees as a possible gold mine for their agency and does manage to get her a lucrative commercial deal as cookie salesgirl. This movie is watchable thanks to a charming performance by Fox, who imbues his own experience as a former child star into this character and this performance. It's very sad whenever you watch Mike go into one of his stories about his days on the sitcom and how whoever he's sharing it with looks completely bored. Lane offers comic relief as Mike's brother and Cyndi Lauper steals every scene she is in as the agency's receptionist. There are also some laugh-out-loud hysterical sequences of children with varying levels of talent auditioning for the agency. Between these scenes and Fox's performance, this film can hold your interest.

This is an underrated movie with one of Fox's most subtley comical moments. The irony was not lost watching Fox portray an ex-sitcom star. Watching Fox as a smarmy, sleazy agent was so wonderfully different from anything he had done up to that point. The movie was made for watching after sleeping in over half the day on Sunday. Also, a great turns by Nathan Lane, who I didn't recognize in the role for many years, and a young David Krumholtz who is going to ascend the throne as the next John Turturro.
