More Detail:
11-year-old Preston Waters just can’t seem to get a break–from his older brothers taking over his room to a bully stealing his birthday money from grandma–that is, until a money-laundering mobster accidentally runs over Preston’s bicycle and hurriedly gives the youngster a signed blank check to cover the damages in the BIG-meets-HOME ALONE Disney comedy BLANK CHECK. Once Preston realizes the monetary significance of a signed blank check, his troubles are all over…or so he thinks. Without giving away the entire film, Preston has, shall we say, a LARGE TIME with his new-found prosperity but quickly learns just how far a buck will go. The best humor occurs in scenes with Preston’s driver-for-hire/confidante Henry, whose humor is matched only by his insight, ably expressed in comments like: “A fool and his money are soon parted;” and “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.”
Overall, BLANK CHECK is an enjoyable film with a bare minimum of objectionable material. There are actually several worthwhile elements in the film: money doesn’t buy happiness; one’s family is more precious than possessions; and, a fool and his money are soon parted. While there is nothing really new here, the acting, filming, directing, and screenwriting all add up to a very decent movie the entire family should be able to enjoy.
