Storyline

Asthmatic teenager Barry Gabrewski is a daydreamer. Troubled by bullying, he escapes into a fantasy world where he is the sidekick to his martial arts hero, Chuck Norris, in a series of high-octane adventures taken right out of his movies. With help from his teacher's wise old uncle, Mr. Lee, Barry learns the finer points of martial arts and enters a karate championship.

"Sidekicks" is amiable enough, even if cinematically, it makes "Cop and a Half" look like "8 1/2."

Couched playfully amid all the hambone hokum and Rocky- style heroic flourishes of Sidekicks, there hides an undeniable sense of dignity and emotional uplift.

Sidekicks is so predictable that you could leave the theater, break a few bricks of your own and not miss anything.

It's soulful and funny and more than a few notches in quality above the films of those martial arts phenoms the Teen-age Mutant Ninja Turtles.
