Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
capone666 Richie Rich'$ Christmas WishYou would think that being bitten by a radioactive $100 bill would be the basis of an affluent comic book character.However, the only power the world's richest kid in this family-comedy possesses is that of financial persuasion.After his envious cousin Reggie Van Dough (Jake Richardson) sabotages Richie Rich (David Gallagher) and his butler Cadbury's (Keene Curtis) sleigh, and slanders him around town, Richie uses a wish machine - cooked up by one of his scientists - to wish he'd never been born.Trapped in a world where Reggie is now the richest and meanest kid in the world, Richie races to obtain the dinosaur fossil that will fuel this alternate realities disengaged wishing machine.With a story that borrows heavily from superior seasonal fare and a cast of no names replacing the noteworthy originals, Richie Rich'$ Christmas Wish is bankrupt. As for my Christmas wish: no Christmas until December 1. (Red Light)vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
Dalton Kennedy Richie Rich's Christmas Wish is a 1998 direct-to-video sequel to 1994's Richie Rich. It was directed by John Murlowski and written by Jason Feffer, Mark Furey, & Rob Kerchner. It stars David Gallagher as the title character.Richie Rich (played by David Gallagher) is the world's richest kid. On Christmas Eve, after playing with his friends, Richie visits his home scientist Professor Keanbean (played by Eugene Levy), who shows him his new Wishing Machine that only works on Christmas Eve. He tries it out, but it's not working right, so he goes to get ready to see his cousin who is visiting. He sees his very mean cousin Reggie (played by Jake Richardson) and heads off to a sleigh with his butler Cadbury (played by Keene Curtis) that they are going to drive to an orphanage and give gifts to all of the children there. However, Reggie sabotages the sleigh and it crashes, leaving everyone talking about how Richie Rich ruined Christmas. Richie runs home and wishes that he was never born and the Wishing Machine grants his wish! No one remembers who he is, but there is another problem. Reggie now lives in his mansion and has taken control of the town, leaving many homeless and threatening to cancel Christmas! Richie must do his best to find Professor Keanbean and his Wishing Machine before Christmas Eve is over or things will be stuck like this forever! I actually had a lot of fun watching this movie. It's target audience was mostly children, so some of it is pretty predictable and childish. The acting isn't perfect, but it really isn't as bad as people say it is. David Gallagher was a great choice to replace Macauley Culkin, who played Richie in the previous film. I also thought that Keene Curtis did a really good job as Cadbury. Jake Richardson did a great job of making me absolutely hate his character! There really weren't any actors or actresses that I can say did a terrible job. Some of the special effects weren't too good, but I can't really criticize them for that as those were pretty much the best they could do at the time on a smaller budget.All in all, I thought it was a really fun family movie, but I'm sure children would enjoy it the most. If you watch it, don't go in expecting a masterpiece, and I'm sure you'll have a good time!
Soheil_Mahdi Richie Rich christmas wish is a film about a 13-year old boy who had a cousin named Reggie. Reggie was very mean to Richie.... So one day Reggie did a embarrassing thing for Richie. So Richie wished in a machine that he was never born.
at80 The movie's only moderate but I like to show it to my kids. No violence, nice plot and captures the Christmas atmosphere. And David Gallagher definitely looks cute in ski bib overalls. I remember my youth every time I see this movie.
