Kidnapping Mom & Dad

About This Movie

So, 'Kidnapping Mom & Dad' is this quirky little comedy from '98 that really plays with the absurd. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but that kind of adds to its charm. It centers on a couple of kids who, in a misguided plan, decide to kidnap their parents and it's just filled with offbeat humor and some genuinely funny moments. The performances are decidedly silly, leaning into the wackiness of the situation. You get a lot of practical effects here that capture that late '90s vibe. It's distinct in its oddball take on family dynamics, and the tone feels like something a bit nostalgic yet fresh for its time. Not groundbreaking, but certainly a curious watch for collectors.
