Movie Review: Rewatched After Years. Disgusting and Too Far-fetched To Be Entertaining
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this when I was little and I had very small bits of memories about it. So recently, I watched it again to relive some memories and I have to say that I was not happy. Have any of you guys ever watched a cartoon or movie as a youngster and tried watching it again only to realize you've ruined the fond memory you've had of it? Because now you see how bad it actually is?
That's how I feel with this movie.
Before I go on I would like to give a warning:
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT! PLEASE READ IF YOU DON'T CARE OR AFTER YOU'VE WATCHED THE MOVIE!
1. First, I really thought the movie would have a reasonable, even moderately believable plot that assists the story to make it plausible to the viewers. However, it does NOT. This really ruined the movie for me. I can watch almost anything, kid movies, chick-flicks, anime, cartoons, serious adult movies, you name it. However, it must be somewhat believable and plausible. This movie is so unbelievably full of craaap that it just kills it. I'll list why:
a) If a kid runs around flaunting that much money, he'd be caught immediately. He would be reported immediately either from a store owner or a random stranger. Anyone in their right mind would find it highly suspicious.
b) The bad guys had a positive picture on the kid, all they needed was to post it around schools or parks. The kid can't live that far, he rides a bike. Just post it up that he stole something.
c) The whole thing about the blank check is just too much to make it believable. It makes winning the lottery look like a joke. So all he had to do was get hit by that exact car, by that exact person, at the exact right time, come into the bank at the exact right time with the exact check with the full exact amount of money written on it and encounters a perfect situation to cash in that check and gets out at the exact right time. It's just too much. Forget the check kid, with your luck go buy a lottery ticket that's worth a lot more than that?
d) How everyone remains clueless about Macintosh is....beyond me. How a kid fools everyone including the FBI....I have no clue on that.
2. The father, I thought, in fact the whole family are a bunch of freaken JEEERKS. I hated the Dad a few minutes after seeing him. He is an extremely hate-able character. People like that should not have kids.
3. Pedophile, "cougar' FBI agent lady in the movie. THIS IS A PERSONAL SHOUT OUT AT THE REVIEWER THAT SAYS SHE IS A THIRD GRADE TEACHER. I'm completely disgusted, but not very surprised that you would let our kids watch this obviously ignorant and disgusting movie. Maybe this is why our kids have such low scores at school because they watch these moooronic movies that give nothing to the kids. If I was a parent, I'd be on the lookout for teachers that say this movie is great for their kids. This movie had a much older woman kissing a young child on the lips and telling him to call her back in a few years, a child that isn't even near his puberty yet. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY SAY IT'S A GOOD KID'S MOVIE? DISGUSTING. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND FIRED.
4. The kid was nervous about the whole thing and goes around sneaking the check of the million dollars. That means he know it was a bad thing to do and is probably somewhat aware that he was taking the money wrongfully, yet he does it. This is no joke. This is a movie about a THIEF, don't think it is funny because it is about a little kid. Just because it's a kid and it's made by Disney should not make it seem like some sort of joke. He is a THIEF and the movie is giving bad information to kids that watch it. It's nothing to laugh about.
There's tons of other unbelievable elements in this story that just completely makes it craaap.
I can watch a movie, but only movies that have a decent understandable story to it.
Everyone that rated this above a 2 star, you know what, this is why our country is so messed up. This movie was not only outlandishly ridiculous to the point where it loses all credibility in it's plot, but it was not a very fun and entertaining movie to begin with. Don't waste your time with this garbage.
I will never EVER recommend this movie to any child. They're already messed up as it is.
Movie Review: Bland Check
Summary: 1 Stars
"Blank Check" was Disney's lame attempt to capitalize then on the popularity of McCaulay Culkin. It says so on the cover,"If you loved Home Alone,you'll love Blank Check!" "Blank Check" basically recycles some Home Alone tropes,with boring results. Brian Bonsall (who seems to have vanished--with good reason--after this movie) stars as Preston Waters,a boy whose parents belittle him because he,unlike his older brothers,doesn't own a business(??) The kid is only 10 or so--and his parents expect him to be Bill Gates?
Preston finds a blank check,and smitten with a bank teller (Karen Duffy) Soon he has his own castle,there are ENDLESS montages of his wealthy lifestyle,and there are mobsters thrown in the mix. There are some incredible amounts of lameness.
At a creepy point in "Blank Check",Preston asks the teller out on a date--and towards the end,she kisses him. On the lips. Preston gets her to promise to meet him in six years(!!!) Okay,he likes older women--but in a children's movie,do we need to know that? And isn't he a bit young to be interested in girls? He isn't even an adolescent.
"Blank Check" fires blanks.
Movie Review: LAME LAME LAME!
Summary: 1 Stars
I seen this movie along time ago. I thought it was pretty dumb that a man could be so stupid enough to just give give a kid one of his blank checks I mean no one would be that stupid enough to do that. and that kid was such a careless theif he just slipped that blank check in his printer of his computer and typed in a million dollars and cashes it from the bank and now he becomes rich and start living a real lavish life (temporarily) having his own house and all the stuff a kid could ever dream of. The 3 men in this movie were crooks but that kid just got away with alot and he didn't go to jail for that he should. That money didn't even belong to him and he didn't pay for what he did. Well it's just a movie that can never happen in real life. I give it a 0 stars but amazon won't let me.
