One of the best Macaulay Culkin films I have ever seen!,

This is one of the best Macaulay Culkin films I have ever seen. Kudos to him and everyone involved! When this was first released, I had no idea that John Larroquette was in this. If you ask me, his performance as the devious, nefarious adviser Lawrence Van Dough was delightfully entertaining. In my opinion, that was what made this film a fun little romp worth seeing. Also, I really liked the inventions of the zany Professor Keenbean (Michael McShane). Even though I thought that everyone gave a good performance and Van Dough (John Larroquette) was a bad guy, I enjoyed this film very much. Despite the fact that I liked everyone, I hate to admit it, but he was my favorite character. Anyway, I wish everyone lots of luck in the future and look forward to their upcoming projects.
