Candidate Kid is one of those quirky family flicks that kinda flies under the radar. You follow Rhea Justice, a twelve-year-old who's got that mix of youthful curiosity and awkwardness down pat. The pacing feels like a gentle stroll through her daily life, highlighting the ups and downs of growing up. There's a charming authenticity in her struggles, and even if the direction isn't the sharpest, the performances pull you in. It captures those little moments of innocence and the trials of adolescence quite well. Plus, the practical effects they use for some of the more whimsical elements add a nostalgic touch that really stands out. It's got this low-key vibe that makes it feel like a time capsule of the mid-90s family genre.
