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?

You just can't congratulate films this bad...I think this was a money-grab from all the actors.

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.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

You needed to be there at the right time to like this movie as many have. Early 90s, a Macintosh computer, and an imagining of what is possible. $1,000,000 budget. What are all the things a kid would buy? This was back when $1 million was the number for having a lot of money. The agent kissing the kid at the end was a little weird. You also have to remember this movie came out four years after Home Alone so an independent kid battling it out with hardened criminals was the 'thing' at this time. Last but not least, this is a movie that was free on public broadcasting from time to time for us kids that didn't grow up with cable.

This movie is so messed up. It was very uncomfortable for my 10 years old to watch the interaction between Preston who is 11 and a female adult. I cant believe this movie is still out. It is wrong in so many levels. I cant believe its on Disney platform and rated PG.

Great, fun 90s family movie. I'm sure every kid had this fantasy at some point. I still watch it sometimes when I need to watch something lighthearted.
