Featured review
not terrible
Richie Rich (Macaulay Culkin) is the most valuable possession of his billionaire parents (Edward Herrmann, Christine Ebersole). He has everything and loyal butler Herbert Cadbury (Jonathan Hyde). However he doesn't have regular friends of his own age. Professor Keenbean is the company scientist with his many inventions. Company executive Lawrence Van Dough (John Larroquette) opposes Mr. Rich's plan to give away a tool plant and spending on inventions. He also lust for whatever is hidden in the family vault. Richie makes friends with kids playing baseball at an industrial lot. Richie's parents are lost at sea when their plane is brought down by a bomb. Van Dough battles Richie who owns 51% share of the company.
Richie Rich is a bad comic to make into a movie. I don't know what kind of problems Richie Rich has to overcome. It seems like a comic about a kid and his toys. The movie isn't cartoon fun. It does actually has some limited thrills. The characters are good for the most part. The mix of children's comic and real action don't always coexist easily. It's not that terrible but it doesn't really feel joyous.
