Trivia
Preston's computer program tells him it will take 342,506 years for his birthday check to reach a $1,000,000 balance. In reality, compounded annually, $11 will reach $1M at the end of 337 years. See more »Goofs
In the beginning of the film, when Quigley is in the warehouse, he closes the compartment on the floor twice. See more »Quotes

"MONEY (THAT'S WHAT I WANT)"Written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford

Little Preston Waters (Brian Bonsall) is down on his luck. He needs money. Badly. He attends a little brat's birthday party and after seeing all his big-spending friends and the birthday boy, decides it's time for a change. Now we know his own special day is approaching. His thrifty father provides him with an $11 check, and as he goes down to his local bank to cash it, a recently-released thief named Carl Quigley(played convincingly by Miguel Ferrer) runs over his little bicycle. Eager to avoid the police, Quigley gives the kid a blank check and takes off. The check has fallen into the wrong hands, as Preston fills it in for a cool $1m and what do you know, has no trouble cashing it! Things get worse for the boy after a spending spree, as the money will eventually disappear, and a certain someone will be longing for that fortune.
I enjoyed Brian Bonsall's and Karen Duffy's little friendship, along with friendly limousine driver Rick Ducommun, but the plot is way too basic, and my opinion remains the same now, as it did in 1994, when I first saw the film.
