Unendurable.

Most of the time, Richie Rich is too busy oohing and ahhing over the junk that money can buy to relax and have a good time.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh
A spirited and fluffy kids' comedy.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

What's sort of wonderful is the way this movie takes that old formula and makes it fresh and new, with actors who give it wit and charm.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
