Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Dale R Those more innocent days when we didn’t know what radiation could do to a living thing. This time the “light rays” changed a duck's egg yolk into gold and shenanigans ensued. Another starring role for Dean Jones, who is starting to show his age in this move. Sandy Duncan plays a great dim-witted wife and has a few great lines in the movie. I was a little disappointed that they never reached a million dollars as the title suggests. As action/comedies go, it really isn’t that great. Some of the plot points are dumb, the characters are one note except Dean Jones’ character who has an arc. But that arc happens conveniently at the end. Looking up this movie, I found out that film critic Gene Siskel walked out of the theater while reviewing this movie. Obviously targeting a younger audience, I think this movie is worth a watch if it sounds like something you might enjoy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Chris P Out of all the Disney films I have seen in my life, this one is the worst. Boring, dull characters. scenes that just make no sense. Felt bored watching 20 minutes in.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member E não é que alguns anos depois dois professores da Universidade de Michigan conseguiram criar ouro puro de 24 quilates em laboratório em 2012, e em 2020 um grupo de cientistas suíços conseguiu criar um tipo incrivelmente leve de ouro de 18 quilates, o ouro perdendo o valor em 3, 2, 1… Filme bem fofinho, o trio familiar, papai, mamãe e filhinho são fofos, o amigo advogado também, e os malfeitores sustentáveis… Bonitinho... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Dean Jones somehow ended his career appearing in St. John in Exile, a wacky stage play of Jesus' last surviving disciple breaking the fourth wall and yucking it up with a largely religious audience. Up until then, I only thought of Dean Jones as the perpetually angry young man of many a Disney movie. Seriously, his entire character is a milquetoast white man with a way too attractive wife who has been driven to seething red rage usually because of some intelligent animal or anthropomorphic automobile. This time around, enraged Dean Jones is Albert Dooley, a scientist who is struggling with money woes. Things are so bad that his wife Katie (Sandy Duncan) packs him an entire lunch of just screwed up applesauce, but Albert the duck eats that, gets irradiated and starts laying golden eggs. And oh yeah — Albert's son Jimmy had wanted a pet, so why not just him a duck that will soon either die of cancer or gain superpowers? Lee Montgomery never got a few animals and nearly killed a whole bunch of folks, right? It gets to the point where the golden eggs make Albert rich, so he just cuts his son out of his busy life just in time for Richard Nixon to decide that the duck must be captured to save America. Gene Siskel only walked out on three movies. One was Maniac, another was Black Sheep and this was the third. Roger Ebert said that it was "one of the most profoundly stupid movies I've ever seen."
