Family fun will never get better than this!

Mr. Hunter (Richard Thomas) is an accountant who keeps his wife, daughter, and son on a very tight budget. Mother Betsy Hunter dreams of a cruise while the kids long for the extras in life, however. On the wall in the living room is a framed dollar bill that was the first money earned by great grandfather Hunter. Naturally, one of the children secretly removes it to buy a lottery ticket. When the ticket might prove to be a winner, it sets off a chain reaction that involves test drives, bingo, large mean dogs and more. How will the fortunes of the Hunter family swing? This darling movie is a surefire winner for folks of all ages. The cast is wonderful (including the lovely Alison Lohman as the teenage daughter) and there are many delightful cameos by thespians who excel in comedic timing. The storyline is full of fun yet teaches many good lessons in life. Don't walk. Race to the video store or library with some spare change for an evening of rich entertainment.
