what?
what?
A grown woman kissed a kid in the lips.
come on is she mentally disabled?
I mean an FBI agent who knows the country's laws would risk her career to kiss a kid?
she could get arrested on the spot!
and the most creepiest part of all is that isn't goodbye and she'll see him in 6 or 7 years!
oh dear and so he comes home to his family celebrating his birthday so the moral of the story is love and respect can be bought?
What are they smoking?
The bottom line is that is a waste of time the morals are whacked it's flat as a tortilla the kid is annoying the villains are lame the comic relief isn't funny the brothers are unlikable the dad is even worse the romantic subplot is creepy the plot's shallow and the only saving grace is the cinematography from bill pope which went on to shoot the matrix trilogy and two of the spider-man films so people don't waste your money and go watch home alone instead.
This has been a Samuel Franco review.
Blank Check is a movie that I saw on TV one day and like most movies they air on TV Blank Check wasn't that good.
First of all no one I have ever met has seen Blank Check and that includes people that grew up in the 90s.
Also Blank Check won't be remembered in the 00s either simply due to the fact that it will be overshadowed by pixar's films.
I wouldn't call Blank Check a bad film but its not really entertaining either.
(Or at least it isn't to anyone over the age of 6) Blank Check isn't a entertaining film because nothing about it is original.
Everything just makes you go "what haven't I seen this before?"
Blank Check rips off and tries to cash in on everything from Richie Rich to Home Alone (Which strangely enough both have Macaulay Culkin in it) Blank Check isn't a bad movie, but it deserves to fade into obscurity.
I saw this movie once a long time ago, and I have no desire to ever see it again.
This movie is about Preston Waters, a hard-lucked preteen, who always seems to be overlooked by his family and who always seems to be short on cash.
All this changes when a bank robber runs over Preston's bike and passes him a blank check as compensation.
Preston uses the check to withdraw $1 million from the bank (ironically, the money belongs to the bank robber who gave him the check).
Preston then buys a mansion and says that he's working as the assistant of a mysterious and wealthy backer named Mr. Macintosh (named after his computer).
After that, he just goes crazy with the money.
On paper, this sounds like a great idea.
However, on screen, it is one of the emptiest movies I've ever seen.
For one thing, it's too unbelievable.
I know some parts of the movie were meant to be incredible, but I draw the line at a twelve-year-old boy going out with a thirty-year-old woman, and being put in charge of a imaginary person's small fortune.
Also, this was a shallow movie with weak acting, a predictable plot line and characters who are less than memorable.
The characters were either cheesy, over the top, annoying, or underdeveloped.
But "Juice" was a funny character.
If you're looking for a good movie to watch with your family, skip this one.
The worst movie I have seen in a while.
Yeah its fun to fantasize, but if that is what you are looking for, I suggest you see Brewsters Millions.
This was just terrible and corny and terrible at being corny.
Unless you are five or like terrible movies, don't see this one.
Blank Check is easily one of the worst films of the nineties.
The plot is completely pointless;
its overtones of lonliness are pathetic.
Do you really believe a twelve year old acting as a personal assistant for a millionaire could accomplish everything in this film, like buying a mansion for a mere $300 grand.
The notion, let alone the bargain-basement price, will only be believed by the most gullible viewers.
Please, respect your intelligence and don't watch this awful, awful film.
I almost called HBO and demanded my money back for the month just because they've been airing this movie.
I can just see the movie execs sitting around going, "Okay, we need to come up with something that's just like Home Alone, only we'll add a bunch of cash for the kid, hire cut-rate actors, and oh yeah, we'll make it a lot less funny!"
Okay, maybe not the last part, but that's basically what you've got here.
Not even worth seeing if someone else rents it.
And as a movie for kids?
Forget it.
I wouldn't let my kids see this, not necessarily because of bad-taste jokes, but because I wouldn't want them to say, "What were you thinking showing us that lame piece of garbage, Dad?
This movie is really goofy!
I saw it as an 11 year old, and even then I thought it was pretty ridiculous!
I would only recommend this film to kids under the age of 12.
I really didn't care for it, but I do think that it answers some very good questions that kids need to be aware of, such as: 1)Does money buy happiness?
2)Should I lie (to my parents) about things I think they wouldn't approve of?
3)Does money buy friendships?
4)Is money everything?
5)Shouldn't I tell my parents when someone is trying to hurt me?
Granted, these are very unrealistic situations, but I do think that if parents discussed these issues with their children, maybe they should watch this video as well, in order to show/scare their kids that lies have the potential to get you hurt.
A young boy comes into a lot of money and promptly begins to live it up.
Unfortunately, the man whose money it really is happens to be very bad.
He wants his loot back.
When he discovers who has the bucks, he begins trying to get it back.
He keeps getting foiled by this little kid who is just lucky enough to keep from falling into the evil man's hands.
Sounds familiar, I'll bet.
Very predictable, not interesting at all.
Come up with something a bit different, ok guys?
Bad Actors, bad filming, choppy dialog, shallow characters, but then again it was a bad premise in the first place.
Basically, an 11 year old who is bullied because he has very little money is given a blank check by a moronic criminal.
Of course, the 11 year old happens to possess enough technology and intelligence to purchase a house, cash a check for 1,000,000 dollars, and even foil three bumbling idiots, reminiscent of the three stooges.
Preston Blake is an annoying, obnoxious, boy, who decides that, when written a blank check by a complete stranger, he will take advantage of the situation as best as he can.
In other words, he wanders into a bank, hands a teller a check he makes in his printer, and miraculously walks out with a million bucks in cash.
Preston is also apparently capable of reaching incredible speeds on his bicycle, due to the fact that a man driving a Jaguar after Preston and his 10-speed could not catch him, even when Preston jumped a row of cars.
Of course, with every hokey adventure movie, there has to be hot heroine.
In this case our hot heroine is a child molesting FBI agent who dates the eleven year old Preston, and promises another date when he turns 17.
However, the absolute worst aspect of this film was not its casting, nor its sloppy dialog, such as "The only other way I could think of skinning a cat is to stick a hose up it's butt and then pick up the fur."
It was, rather, the entire fact that nobody in the entire film seemed to realize that the FBI does not give a damn about random people .
What I have failed to explain is that Preston uses the alias "Macintosh" to masquerade as an entrepreneur of sorts.
Of course, the FBI finds this intriguing and sends our young heroine after Preston, who uses his 11-year old wit to first scream when lobsters fall on his face, then treat her to hamburgers, finishing with a ridiculous romp through a cemented area where water jettison's from the ground.
Our heroine fails to realize during this whole adventure that the criminal the FBI is pursuing is slipping and sliding right behind the two, as they make their way to Preston's limousine, complete with a 1-dimensional driver who never fails to provide cheap, 3rd rate laughs that the whole family can choke on.
Overall: 1/10 is incredibly gracious for this film.
I don't see how it only has a 4.4/10.
Bad plot, bad dialogue, bad acting, idiotic directing, the annoying porn groove soundtrack that ran continually over the overacted script, and a crappy copy of the VHS cannot be redeemed by consuming liquor.
Trust me, because I stuck this turkey out to the end.
It was so pathetically bad all over that I had to figure it was a fourth-rate spoof of Springtime for Hitler.
The girl who played Janis Joplin was the only faint spark of interest, and that was only because she could sing better than the original.
If you want to watch something similar but a thousand times better, then watch Beyond The Valley of The Dolls.
Larry Buchanan.
Yep, same guy who did "Attack of the THE Eye Creatures" and two (count 'em: TWO) conspiracy movies about Marilyn Monroe.
He's to blame, here.
Adding onto his ever-growing pile of folders left over from Oliver Stone's "eh-I-grew-out-of-it" conspiracy drawer, here's "Down On Us (i.e.- "Beyond the Doors") which is the working definition of historical inaccuracy.
Forget everything you THOUGHT you knew about Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, says Big Lar', cuz this is the real deal!
Y'see, the three big names in rock of the '60s were KILLED BY THE GOVERNMENT because they were subversives or counter-productive to Truth, Justice and the American Way, or sumpthin' like that there.
I knew it all along.
Anyway, three people (Chatman, Meryl, Wolf) who look eerily like their real life shadows (that is, if you completely close your eyes, turn your backs and walk five miles away from them) show that instead of their recorded deaths, the good old US of A put hits out on them!
Yep, it's the truth!
Man, I cannot believed I watched this movie.
It's facts, when not stretching credibility to the snapping point, are ludicrous;
the acting makes TV commercials look like high drama and if you honestly watch it through to the end, you deserve the "twist" ending.
You really, really do;
I swear.
