Life with Mikey. Once very young and mischievous boy Mikey charmed the general public from the TV screen with his unexpected tricks and cute jokes in the show called "Life with Mikey". The show was great and made Mike famous for many years. But he never managed to take advantage of it. Time has passed - and here we are no less charming, attractive, but not adapted to life, infantile thirty-year-old Michael Chapman, co-founder of a seedy agency for the search for young talents. Things are progressing tightly, there are practically no prospects ... Here comes a little ten-year-old miracle named Angie. This girl with a very dubious reputation, able to charm others and get out of any situation, gives a second chance not only to the agency, but also to Michael himself. This is the plot of the story of the friendship between Michael and Angie, the story is quite touching, because they ultimately help each other not only to cope with trouble, but also to be inspired for a new life full of hopes and aspirations.
The film with an uncomplicated plot, well-chosen actors and a unique atmosphere of the 90s eventually came out some one-sided and therefore sluggish. There is no interest, a lively curiosity, with which you sometimes watch the most standard situations played out in new sets. And involuntarily I want to yawn sometimes, because all the action moment slides into a kind of despondency and boredom. The plot is foreseen. Why should I look at it? Except to distract from the problems, remember the atmosphere of the films of the 90s and enjoy the Christmas scenery, which often flicker along the story. I think that on a winter day (for an evening viewing the film is clearly not suitable) with hot tea at the side of the film "A star is urgently needed" suddenly fascinates you for a moment, and then easily let go, but surely will not leave a painful aftertaste and give the cells of gray matter to rest for at least an hour and a half.
