Ri¢hie Ri¢h Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
willcundallreview Richie Rich is a 1994 family comedy starring Macaulay Culkin and John Larroquette and is about a young rich kid who well, has a few problems. He's basically dirty rich and lives with his pretty nice parents who give him everything he wants, except he kind of wants to play with other kids from the street rather than the private school friends he has. The film is one of those one's you can imagine watching on a Sunday afternoon, and this can be enjoyed too but maybe it just isn't so clinical.The comedy side of the movie is really kind of non existent, it tries it really does but by the end your kind of feeling disappointed. The story I'll give it is not boring, it has it's moments where you actually are maybe rooting for Richie and his fellow friends and butler(Jonathan Hyde), but in truth it's hard to like Culkin. Our main star in this is just too unbelievable and wastes any talent he has by being a dull main character, top that also with a poor script and you have Macaulay Culkin acting and sounding like some kind of badly built robot actor. Donald Petrie directs and he is pretty average really, doesn't do enough to make the story or actors better but also the general direction Is just well, not done well enough really. Now I'm not the biggest fan of these kind of comedies, in fact most I watch I don't expect much in terms of laughter, and here is another example. One thing I am trying to say though is that this didn't bore me strangely, I mean it is still a pretty bad movie but at times interesting.Listen this is the kind of movie where at times it tries to flash it's crazy gadgets and cool rich persons items, but only really succeeds in making us the slightest bit interested in the ending. And on that point the end, actually not too bad but followed up just too poor a beginning and middle, Culkin also seems to get better but when he is sad, he just can't act at all!. Now don't watch this and expect to hate it, some could definitely enjoy it, some will hate, but always remember if this movie made you laugh because this movie labels itself as a comedy.And what about the other cast?, well not everyone is necessarily bad, Jonathan Hyde as the butler is pretty good and when he features the film can be a slight bit more interesting. John Larroquette as the scheming "Van Dough" is also not that bad, should have played into the jokes a bit more and maybe even have been a bit more in to what he is actually doing, kind of looks bored in this movie really.So overall a movie I found to be well, just not good really, it isn't awful just not acceptable, the kind of movie only a few will like but at least there isn't only one person who likes it. If you like your family comedies you may enjoy it, Culkin has really grown up too much for Home Alone fans to come a knocking but still if your a big fan of his then sure, give this a go.
Harriet Deltubbo The setup: The richest kid in the world, Richie Rich, has everything he wants, except companionship. While representing his father at a factory opening, he sees some kids playing baseball across the street. Richie wants to join in, but they don't want him around. When a plot to kill the Rich family is devised by Rich Industries' top executive, Laurence Van Dough, Richie must take over control of the company while searching for his lost parents with the help of some new friends.The verdict: This is another level of family film. The depiction of upper class Americana is austere and straightforward, but the real centerpiece of the film is its acting and humor.
byson5186 I saw this movie yesterday On Demand. While watching it, I found it hard to believe as I'm sure most of you also find it hard to believe, that this movie is 20 years old. I have to say, it doesn't look that old even in today's perspective and has a good plot for kids about wanting friends. Whenever I watch this movie, it takes me back to when I watched this movie as a kid. I always find this movie, an entertaining movie to watch, if you're look for an entertaining appropriate kids movie. This one will keep you going as it's pretty fast paced. You'll be amazed at all Richie Rich has. One thing he has is from a memorable scene, the kid-a-pult. I wonder how they filmed that scene, and I wonder if such a thing exists, I mean what did they use in the movie? I can remember as a kid talking to my Dad about getting that thing. I guess I've written about everything I have to. I usually write longer reviews. Thanks for reading.
gcd70 Inspired by the popular Harvey comics comes this above average kids flick from writers Tom S. Parker and Jim Jennewein (original story by Neil Tolkin) which sees our hero "Richie Rich" having to thwart an attempt to assume control of the family fortune. The plot is hardly inspiring, yet the cast make do with it to keep young viewers reasonably entertained.The cast are hardly riveting themselves, and all do better than the precocious Culkin. Evil John Larroquette as the greedy Van Dough and butler Jonathan Hyde do well, while Edward Herrmann and Christine Ebersole play Richard and Regina Rich. Daniel Petrie's direction saves the film as he keeps proceedings bouncing along nicely.Tuesday, September 30, 1997 - T.V.
