Richie Rich is well loved by my 3 year old and myself. Is funny, well presented and full of fun and capers. I will be looking at buying movies similar to this one or any other family movies that are clean cut.

Being good always wins....
rating: 5
Lonely Richie Rich makes new friends, rescues his family from extiction, and makes a few million all at the same time! Cute family movie that shows good triumps over evil if you put your heart into it.
I can recommend this movie to the whole family. There is some intense scences near the end but nothing too bad.

A totally ridiculous movie
rating: 3
Richie Rich is a thoroughly ridiculous movie - ridiculous situations, ridiculous characters, ridiculously large (but very real Biltmore Estate) mansion, and its ridiculously fun too. Like Spiderman, Superman, Batman, and others, the character of Richie Rich is based on a comic book superhero. Richie Rich offers us a different type of superhero in that his super power consists of the ridiculous amount of $$$$$ he has. Richie and his family can do amazing things with their superpower. They can build their own Mount Richmore, build a McDonald's in their basement, have their own rollercoaster, jet all over the world and more. Just as most kids have dreamed of being able to fly like Superman and swing from webs like Spidey, kids and adults alike have dreamt of what it would be like to have Bill Gates' billions. And like Superman, Batman, Spidey, etc., the Rich family uses their superpower to help others.
Another similarity between Richie and other comic book heroes is that just as Superman, Spidey and Batman's superpowers keep them from getting and/or keeping a girl - Richie's superpower keeps him from getting and keeping friends. This movie is about how all that changes. Though Richie's $$$$$ plays an initial role in introducing him to potential friends, it's not what enables him to keep them - Richie is genuinely a nice kid.
Sure its silly and ridiculous but guess what - its supposed to be. For me the less than stellar acting and profuse overacting on the part of some of the actors just adds to the overall ridiculousness. This is a fun family movie - just remember that you're watching a comic book.

Good Family Fun

Great movie for the family. Positive message about it not being what you have, but what you have inside you. Also the proverbial good guy wins theme
