      Jim M The whole family enjoyed this Christmas movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Audience Member The concept is decent, the performances aren't that bad and the villain certainly is having the time of his life hamming it up, even before we end up in the alternate reality but Richie Rich's Christmas Wish suffers from the law of diminishing returns, deeply missed actors and feeling like an obvious cash-in with what I consider to be a space whale aesop: Don't wish you weren't born or the world will become a terrible place to live in. This movie's bad but it's mostly "dumb sequel" bad, not remarkably awful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review yash b It is a movie that is trying way too hard but lacks essentially all of the charisma of the 1994 version. I think young audiences won't mind it but it isn't a movie that I would expect older people to enjoy. It's a silly premise that has been done many times before and doesn't really bring anything new to the table. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This Richie Rich movie was not as good as the first one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mix one of the most famous Christmas movies ever made with one of the worst family comedies and you get...this? I watched it to death as a kid but it's bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly but watchable Xmas movie (DVD) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Tracey Petherick Common Sense Media If you're in the market for a second-rate combination of 'Back to the Future' and 'It's a Wonderful Life' with some slapstick action thrown in, then you're in luck. Rated: 2/5 Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
