Murder, memory and Saturday morning television collide in THE CASSIDY KIDS.25 years ago five suburban kids stumbled on a murder in their sleepy hometown and led police to the killer. Two years later The Cassidy Kids Mysteries, a Saturday morning TV show based on their story, made its premiere. A terrifying real-life story became a brightly-lit colorful world of adventure. A bloodless kidnapping replaced the murder. The kids personalities were reduced to ridiculous stereotypes. And the show was a huge hit. It ran for four years and spawned lunch boxes, a line of childrens underwear and a set of action figures still in demand today. Now, in preparation for the shows DVD release, a documentary team has invited all five of the real Cassidy Kids back home to talk about how it all began.Lewis Gaylord now owns a direct mail business. Norman Peabody struggles to make it in Hollywood as an actor. Max Cassidy, the vicious bully credited for solving the crime, still trades on his pseudo-fame while not doing much of anything. And Rebecca Vanderpool, the only one of the group actually cast in the show, now squanders her writing talent on run-of-the-mill adventure books.However the reunion is not complete without Dennis Peabody - Rebeccas first love, Normans adopted brother and the only black kid in their neighborhood. Dennis pulled away from his family and friends after the murder and virtually disappeared from their lives when the TV show became a cultural phenomenon. His delayed arrival turns a bland special feature on the DVD box set into an exhumation of long-buried trauma and truth.The reunion cracks open the memories of that fateful summer when the kids investigated the disappearance of a no-good teen just to stave off boredom. Innocent curiosity ultimately brought them face-to-face with real death and terror. Rebecca and Dennis saw the worst and it scarred them badly, ending a childhood romance and sending them on a path toward bitterness and alienation. They watched as the truth of what happened was perverted, first by Max Cassidy, then by Hollywood and now by a clueless DVD team.But, there is another layer of truth under it all. A terrible secret that Dennis has kept for 25 years. A secret that threatens to shatter their lives and bring down a pop culture empire. But the truth must come out...
Leave your thoughts about The Cassidy Kids.
| CinematicalJette KernionThe characters, rather than the plot, make this an enjoyable movie. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThe movie falls apart when it tries to go back and investigate another mystery... I'd trade closure for more moments of comedic brilliance. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAn uneven blend of comedy and intrigue in which the mystery element is ridiculously handled. |
| User ReviewNicholas Pinteresting indie film. takes place at a reunion of a kids show where the kids who inspired a scooby-doo/hardy boys type show discover what has happened to them over time and what happened to cause the whole thing |
| User ReviewLiz BSmall but solid indy flick that plays with a bunch of interesting genres... real kids "solved" and were traumatized by a murder, had a popular kids' show (a la Hardy Boys) made about their adventure, and years later come back together to do a reality reunion show and discover the hidden truth about the past. Has a lot to say about storytelling, both public and private. |
