I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Had to babysit my wife's younger siblings so they put this show on and I watched it. Boy I wish I could get those hours of my life back. The show was worse than I expected it to be and my standards weren't high to begin with. Where to start is the next question. I loved the original movie and thought this couldnt be too bad. Was I wrong. The characters are not relatable at all and are extremely annoying. The only normal and decent character is ironically the one that is supposed to be a robot. His two friends are unbearable. The girl is super annoying and just leeches off him. Stereotypical leech. Spends the money but adds nothing but corny lines that sound like she is trying too hard. His other friend is a typical nerdy scrawny type with a Jewish stereotype about money. His constant whining grates on you and his "catchphrase" isn't funny or original. The sister is bearable. Typical jealous older sister character so can't really complain or criticize. Adds the brother/sister sibling rival aspect. The father is over the top ridiculous. Nothing funny about the stupid parent character. It's cut and paste from almost every other kids show that had clueless parents. Specifically an unaware father with no common sense. How cps hasn't been called yet is a bigger mystery than how a child created a renewable energy source. The robot maid is out of place for a kid who hasn't hit puberty yet and in no way should really care about how a female looks. That being said I laughed at her lines the most shes really the only reason I kept any real interest in the show. She's very easy on the eyes. The plot is nonexistent. It follows the same format as other shows of this type. Two places at once. Setting the single parent up on a date. Mostly stuff that bows up in their face to finish the episode and bring about a conclusion. There really is nothing redeemable about this show. It isn't clever and it isnt funny. The six kids that I watched this with (7-13) didn't laugh at all and they are the type to laugh at the word poop. That speaks volumes about this shows quality.

So, this show is really terrible on every level. It has that typical absurd situational humor but that's not why I'm writing this.Let's start off with the fact that this kid becomes a trillionaire by not eating his vegetables. But the two things that get me the most are his sex symbol French maid robot slave and his walking stereotype of a 12 year old money manager. These two things do not belong in a children's show. His best (friend)?? Is a girl that spends all of his money and doesn't stop complaining. The main character himself a spoiled, selfish and suffers zero consequences for being an absolute donkey to his sister and his "help". The dad belongs in an institution of some sort for allowing all this behavior and for allowing his 11?? Year old to purchase a sexualized slave. I hate this show and it is now banned from this house. If you took any lessons from this horribly written show they would be:Treat everyone like your help Hold your money over everyone's headObjectify and buy attractive slave womenIf you're rich you suffer no consequencesDon't eat vegetablesTreat your family like they are meaningless

I don't think that this concept is something that will ever translate well from comic books to television or movies. The Richie Rich comics were funny because they described wealth so outlandish, that when Mom went to the East Wing of the mansion, she traveled by plane. Money gushing out of oil wells and vaults so big they were measured in acres. Stuff like that.Of course, that stuff does not translate to the real world very easily. Richie Rich may be a good comic for kids fascinated by money, since it teaches that friendship and family is far more important than money. But trying to translate that into a real-world TV show by papering the walls of Richie's bedroom with foreign banknotes just seems silly.The concept COULD work if it were "dialed down" a bit... Like a show about a kid in an extremely wealthy family who just wants to play with other kids and is a good person, but who has to contend with things like the security guards that follow him everywhere for his protection. Or who asks his Dad for lunch money on his way out the door and his Dad hands him a $100 bill because it is the smallest bill he has. Little jokes like that would at least be believable.But this series is completely over the top. I know that most movies and TV shows require a suspension of disbelief, but this one requires a suspension of your entire brain.

When I saw this on Netflix, at first glance it looked terrible.. But I'm happy I took a chance and watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, and would recommend it to others to watch. Some of the writing is bad, but some of the writing is good as well. As with any series, with a bit of fine tuning, it has the potential to be great. The acting is very good in my opinion, and I feel like the actors (especially Jenna Ortega who plays Darcy, and Kiff VandenHeuvel who plays Cliff, Richie's father.) I really hope more episodes are made in the future, so we can see how the show, and their actors improve. I feel that many young ones alike will enjoy the show, seeing that it is very entertaining, and attention grabbing as the viewers can visualize themselves in the situations, and have fun watching the show. It's very fun and entertaining, I'm sure you'll love it!
