Review of "Kim
Possible"

I thought this was a series, but it's actually a movie. I'm glad I watched it, though,
and it was left open at the end. I'm sure there will be a sequel. I've never
watched any of the animated "Kim Possible" shows, so I can't speak to whether this
new live action movie is true to that or not. It's very well-done,
however. Even though it's aimed at kids, I enjoyed it.
Kim Possible (Sadie Stanley) is a superhero, who saves the world along with her sidekick friend, Ron
Stoppable (Sean Giambrone), and her computer genius friend Wade (Issac Ryan
Brown). They face down many threats from supervillains. Kim and Ron
are also just about to enter high school as freshmen when the movie begins. They
make friends with a girl named Athena (Ciara Riley Wilson), who worships Kim.
There are some great supervillains, played by Patton Oswalt (Professor
Dementor), Todd Stashwick (Dr. Drakken) and Taylor Ortega (Shego).
Kim lives with her family, who are retired superheroes, apparently (including
her grandma). Alyson Hannigan ("How I Met Your Mother" and "Buffy the
Vampire Slayer") plays her mom, Ann. It's fun movie,
filled with action and some teenage angst. Kids should love it, but adults who
like cartoons and superheroes should appreciate it as well.

Disney Channel Original Movie follows everyday teen hero Kim
Possible and best friend and sidekick Ron Stoppable as they
embark on their freshman year of high school, all while
saving the world from evil villains. By their side every
step of the way is teen tech-genius Wade and new friend
Athena, who also happens to be a Kim Possible super fan and
is eager to join Team Possible. While Kim and Ron have
always been one step ahead of their opponents, navigating
the social hierarchy of high school is more challenging than
the action-hero ever imagined. With Drakken and Shego
lurking in the wings, Kim must rely on her family and
friends more than ever. Now it’s up to Team Possible—Kim,
Ron, tech-genius Wade, new friend Athena and Rufus, a naked
mole-rat that Ron meets along the way—to stop these super
