The amusement park is Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas. See more »Goofs
Near the end of the film, where Preston is using a go-cart to push Quigley around in a cage-ball, a metal ring can clearly be seen mounted on the front of the go-cart (to keep the ball from straying). See more »Quotes

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

This is an obvious attempt to rip off 'Home Alone' and 'Richie Rich', which, coincidentally, both star Macaulay Culkin. If Culkin were young enough to play this part, I have no doubt he'd pull it off, if he did play it. In the case of the Home Alone-rip-off, instead of robbers you have money launderers. Preston's family is similar to that of Home Alone's: His brothers hate him (or at least act like they do). You've got all the elements here for a movie about a kid living in an adult world, except for one thing: a child his own age. That is one crucial thing that's never explored or mentioned here. Just think of the comic possibilities of the movie if he were trying to impress someone his own age, or at least slightly older. But those are just suggestions in an otherwise hilarious family comedy! *** out of ****
