Rating: 3.5/4 --
Chaplin proved himself equally adept at tickling funny bones and pulling heartstrings, and his chemistry with young Jackie Coogan remains one of cinema's great onscreen pairings

From the Front Row
As always, Chaplin's opulent Victorian sentimentality is made palatable both by the amazing grace of his pantomimic skills and the balancing presence of harsh reality.

Time Out
While it will move people to uproarious laughter and keep them in a state of uneasing delight, it also will touch their hearts and win sympathy, not only for the star, but for his leading woman, and little Jackie Coogan.

Variety
The Kid is a vastly entertaining picture, but there are some things in it which, we believe, were better left unsaid. Why is it that Chaplin, who is really an idealist, always has touches of vulgarity in his pictures?

New York Tribune
Beyond its ability to wring the heart, The Kid of all Chaplin's pictures perhaps most manifests his extraordinary knowledge of life, which his sensitive perceptions and comic imagination use as the raw material for laughter.

The Spectator
To my mind The Kid is by long odds the best motion picture comedy ever made. It has more than humor; it has tenderness and literary charm. Incidentally it is the first child picture I ever saw that did not give me an acute pain to the bowels.

Los Angeles Times
Chaplin claimed that, "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." And The Kid is quite possibly the best example of this aphorism.

Product Description:
Bruce Lee was just 10 years old when he starred as Ah Chung in THE KID, but the film set a precedent for his future career. Ah Chung is an impoverished orphan who befriends a gang of tough street criminals. The gang members try to teach Ah Chung their violent ways, but the young boy proves to be wise beyond his years as he quickly learns that violence isn't the only answer to his problems.
