As farfetched kid-movie story lines go, Disney's done worse: Mail to the Chief's highly improbable predicament connects viewers with eighth-grade working-class wunderkind Kenny (Holland Taylor), who accidentally strikes up an online correspondence with the out-of-touch U.S. commander in chief in an Internet chat room. Kenny taps out a message to "Average Joe"--the unlikely screen name of the president (Randy Quaid)--about how politicians "tell you what they want, not how they're going to give it to you," like in math at school, where "you can't just give the answer, you have to show your work." Sinking in an election year because he's a blowhard, the president is soon accepting face-to-face policy advice from the tuned-in teen. But Kenny's home life, meantime, is going down the tubes. What's worse, as the days tick down to the country's big decision, the president, on the advice of his stuffed-shirt advisers, abruptly cuts his ties to Kenny. The chief comes around in the end, of course, and a not entirely lame lesson about honesty and the merits of simple straight shooting is tied up in a neat little bow. Grownups not too proud to admit savoring after-school specials in their younger years will settle into this all-around entertaining movie nicely, and their like-minded kids 8 and older are apt to follow suit. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews of Mail to the Chief
Mail to the Chief: Probably the best W.W.O.Disney movie! I loved this movie...it's so awesome. MAIL TO THE CHIEF is about a 13-year-old kid named Kenny Witowski who lives in Baltimore, Maryland. Kenny is very good with computers, but doesn't have a lot of friends and gets bullied by a bunch of kids at his middle school. When he goes into a Chat Room and starts talking to somebody named Average Joe, he doesn't realize that he's actually chatting with the President of the United States...giving the President tips on his politic speeches. (They're having the big Presidental Election, by the way). The President wants Kenny to be his advisor when he realizes how much Kenny has helped him with his Presidental Election. So Kenny ends up meeting the President and starts advising him on his speeches...and helping him to win the Election. But when word gets out that the President is being advised by just an average person...things start to really look bad for the President...and Kenny! This is a really good movie. Watch it. It's funny, too.
