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

Sil L 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Daniel F 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.
