"This is a fun movie to watch with kids. It is about an American boy who is lost in Paris, witnesses a crime and ends up being chased by the bad guys. I got quite a kick out of listening to my nephews discuss how they would have handled the situation. You get a first hand look at the city of Paris and kids can really get a feel for what is like to be there. There are some subtitles, so young children who cannot read may not understand one scene, but they should get the gist of it. It's a very entertaining movie."
Delightful family movie

"This is a surprisingly good little movie. The plot is not too much of a stretch and there are a variety of interesting characters. The acting is decent. All in all, it's pretty well done for a television movie. If you have ever been to Paris, this film will show you sights you have seen and then some. It's a good film for kids and adults alike."

"This was a cute family movie. It stars Tara Lipinski, Lindsay Felton, Jon Cryer and a young newcomer named Christopher Plumley. There is also a French actor named Olivier Galfione and a couple of funny teen-age boys named John Hooper and Jason Padgett. The movie is about the boy's homework assignment to tell the class about what he did on his summer vacation and his retelling of his adventure in Paris. He gets lost and becomes involved with some small-time crooks, eventually helping the police catch them. For a children's television movie, I must says they had some pretty spectacular locations. The story and performances are decent. The soundtrack is excellent. It is worth watching for sure."

"A children's movie about a boy and his sister on vacation in Paris and their adventures there. It's a very warm little tale with a variety of characters-lots of quirky French folk. It has its exciting moments, too. Shows more of Paris than I have EVER seen in a movie. Great acting by newcomer Christopher Plumley. Nice to see lovely Lindsay Felton back. Skater Tara Lipinski is amusing in a sizeable role. Jon Cryer is funny as always. Jason Padgett are the John Hooper are the funny and handsome boyfriends of two girls. Such an entertaining movie for families to watch together!!!"

"My kids watched "The Metro Chase" and absolutely loved it. They are watching it again as I write this, and for once, it does not seem like a waste of time to me. By the way, the soundtrack is great!"
