Jodie Foster stars in goofy kid mobster movie.November 30, 2006
The songs and set pieces are still fresh and infectious and most of the child cast are mesmerisingly good. I defy anyone not to be caught up in the charm and nostalgia.April 18, 2014
Parker's script is as sharp as a wiseguy's suit, his attention to period and genre detail a constant joy, and he coaxes scarily poised performances from his young performers.April 10, 2006

One of a kind, totally clever gangster parody with music and kids.August 03, 2011

Pretty goofy idea, but kids will probably be diverted by it.
