Review of Richie Rich

Richie Rich (1994)
2/10
Too tame by half
19 July 1999
Too much given to the gee-whiz, what-can-Richie-afford, this movie needed to be much more crazy and whimsical, to fly in the face of the opulence onscreen. Good supporting cast mostly wasted.

The sole unexpected moment of delight was finding out our villain would stop at nothing to capture the "Rich family treasures", consisting of bronzed baby shoes, portraits, and favored toys & mementos.

Trip up our expectations once every few minutes, and let's talk.

By the way, how many other movie posters give away the ending?
