Rating: Summary: Blank Check Review: I want to look the pictures in this movie.
Rating: Summary: Third-Grade Teacher Thinks Movie is Great for Kids! Review: I'm a third-grade teacher, and I regularly watch different movies with my third-grade kids. I watched this movie at home on TV and thought it was great. I found myself glued to the screen!
This movie is NOT just about a kid who has no friends and spends a million dollars. It is really about learning to appreciate REAL friends, and that people who like you for your money aren't real friends at all. In addition, the movie is a kids' wish-fullfillment fantasy, as a kid manages to spend a million dollars in six days. He learns some important lessons about life, while managing to escape the consequences of his actions through lucky happenstance.
I thought it was a fun movie, and I loved it myself! The movie was great for eight-year-olds, and I know my eleven-year-old daughter would have loved it, too, if she had had the chance to watch it with me.
Rating: Summary: Suspenseful game of cat and mouse Review: Searing action flick featuring boy-next-door type Brian Bonsall as a young man who makes the unwitting mistake of crossing a Mafia hitman (a deliciously fiendish Miguel Ferrer).Bonsall is captivating as Preston "Dirty" Waters, a man who's innocent facade deftly covers up a greedy and manipulative core. While this bad apple might fool some, the viewer is always kept apprised of Waters' penchant for walking the razor's edge. We don't however anticipate just how far he'll go to get what he wants. Enter Quigley (Ferrer) who has just rubbed out a big fish in the city's increasingly bloody Mob war. The 'blank check' that boss Johnny Vincente cuts him as his reward is promptly stolen by Waters who doesn't know the mess that he's just gotten himself into. He'll wish that he killed Quigley when he had the chance, but then again that's where this rollercoaster begins it's wild ride. The movie does suffer somewhat from a romantic subplot that seems a little bit out of place. This does afford the opportunity to get to know the lovely Karen Duffy a whole lot better, but as plotline it is nothing but lurid filler. Wainwright's direction owes a lot to the Hong Kong action masters which means that you'll find yourself more often than not pinned to the edge of your seat. I know that I was.
Rating: Summary: Please, do not rent this movie Review: Simply horrible. Do not rent this movie. It's about a kid who fills out a blank check. Some mobsters come after him. He spends the money. <you can kind of guess what happens next>
Rating: Summary: Quite silly! Review: This is a movie that I didn't think I was going to like because I thought it was going to be really boring but I surprised myself by actually liking it and I personally feel that Blank Check is a great movie for the enire family to watch together and I highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: This is a great movie out of 1 millon ! Review: This movie catches your insterent'ds when it first start's I've seen tons of walt disney movies but this is a great movie not the best but it is one of my favrotie's !
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: This movie was Awesome! I watched it and loved it within the first ten minutes (of course, that was contributed partly by the fact that within the first ten minutes, there were already 2 Macintosh computers)! Having a kid accedentally get a million dollars from a crook is an excellent idea for a movie. Of course it's excellent, this is a Disney movie! Then the kid who gets a blank check and fills it out for a million dollars says the millionaire is "Mr. Macintosh" and he's working for him! This movie was GREAT!
Rating: Summary: Far Fetched but still enjoyable! Review: Yeah it's a little far fetched but I actually liked this movie and didn't think of it as a Home Alone Rip of at all! The movie stars Brian Bonsall who played Andrew in Family Ties and Worf's son Alexander in Star Trek: The Next Generation, in Blank Check he plays Preston who is about 10 or 11 years old and when a gangster played by Miguel Ferrer gives him a blank check to pay for the damage he caused to Preston's bike when he ran it over Preston writes in about a million dollars and starts buying a mansion toys clothes etc, Ok in reality what bank executive would really hand that kind of money to a kid but it's just a movie to enjoy and not to be taken too seriously! Besides Brian Bonsall I also like Miguel Ferrer and Karen Duffy.
