Jace E This movie is so much fun. While the plot is absurd and it's hard to take anything seriously, that's kind of the point. The McDonalds, the roller coaster, tag, the dad tracker, the kid-apult, the experiments, Mount Richmore, there are so many elements of this movie that are memorable and fun to watch. Also, I thought that Kevin McCallister was already rich, but this is a different level! Best Character: Cadbury. Best Quote: "Well... I'm already wanted for attempted murder, escaping from jail, and blowing up an aircraft. Breaking and entering sounds right up my alley. Let's kick some butt, shall we?" - Cadbury. Best Scene: Play Date at the Mansion. Note: After I showed this to my kids, they had it on repeat for days following!

I thought I remembered it from my childhood, but upon watching it again, I realized I had forgotten nearly everything about it. This experience got me reflecting on the nature of creativity in Hollywood—whether it truly endures or if it tends to be fleeting. Take "The Wizard of Oz," for example, which was released in 1939. That film has an enduring quality; its memorable scenes and characters stay with you long after viewing. In contrast, when I watched "Richie Rich" as an adult, I found it hard to recall any significant details about the story. While the film had its fun moments, there were instances where I found myself questioning whether Culkin's character was actually speaking or if there was a voiceover because it sometimes didn’t even sound like him. This left me feeling disoriented and confused throughout the film. The characters were quite corny, the family dynamics felt cheesy, and the overall plot was goofy. It was entertaining in its own way, but I doubt I would revisit it outside of this review, which was a practice we didn't engage in back then. I ended up taking two days to finish it because I had to pause several times; it just didn't hold my interest. That said, if you're looking for something to pass the time, I suppose I could recommend checking it out as a filler. However, I wouldn't label it as a great cinematic experience that you'll love from start to finish. It suffers from misdirection and poorly written dialogue, making it difficult to fully enjoy. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Igor S Man, i wanted to give this a positive review. This was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I had a nostalgia thing today and went back to watch it. It is kind of a bad movie. I think what made me love this as a kid, was the fact that this kid had a rollercoster at his house, plus a few gadgets. I was also a huge Macaulay Culkin too, and was tired of watching the first 2 home alone movies(i watched them all the time) so that definitely helped. If you are a Macaulay Culkin fan as well, watch it. But don't expect much, because it doesn't have the same heart as home alone did. But then again, home alone 1 is a perfect movie, so it would be hard to reach that level. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Nick H The kid-a-pault rules. No notes. Perfect film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legal, o roteiro é bacana, gostei do macaulay culkin como o riquinho, o vilão é chato, gostei de várias cenas como o riquinho brincando de com as crianças de maneira diferente, tipo o lança criança, pega pega com o quadriciculo e várias outras brincadeiras, no final, o vilão chato é preso, e riquinho dá sua tacada final no beisebol, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme vale a pena assistir.
