Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This movie just makes no real logistical sense. It's out of control, the characters are weird...was nobody in this entire world thrown off by a little kid with disposable income spending crazy cash? Rated: 1/5 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn You just can't congratulate films this bad...I think this was a money-grab from all the actors. Rated: 2/5 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Boy spends a million dollars in lame '90s comedy; peril. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2017 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Film Threat One of the worst films to pass itself off as family entertainment features a flirtatious woman, a rich kid no one questions, and a brutal series of gags. Rated: 1/5 Jul 16, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I like it but why would a kid be rich? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Anonymous A It's kinda good, a kid spends a million dollars and buys stuff a kid would buy if you gave them that money. It's just a 90's comedy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review isaac l I liked it. It sure was funny to me. I see no problem with the kissing scene. I just don't like how his own dad doesn't care about him though.
