Richie Rich (Macaulay Culkin) has every toy any little boy could ever want, in addition to an adoring mother (Christine Ebersole) and father (Edward Herrmann). The one thing Richie doesn't have is friends. When his parents suddenly go missing, Richie suspects an executive (John Larroquette) in the family company is to blame. Setting out to solve the mystery, Richie hooks up with a group of kids who prove they just might fill the void in his life, while helping him save his folks.

Critics Consensus

With Macaulay Culkin barely registering any emotion, Richie Rich feels disjointed and free of a sense of fun and wonderment.

Decently crafted but oddly charmless.

Culkin looks really bored. Maybe because "Richie Rich" is so damn boring.

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.

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.

The Live adaption of Richie Rich was possible ahead of the Time. Better than expected when revisiting it 30 years later. Maybe society at that time and now wasn’t ready for the message that Rich is in development of your network of friends and peers. Your network truly is your networth. As Richie is the Richest kid with a lot of preconceived notions of how we think the rich treat others in society and what we think of rich kids that may not be true.
