Blank Check

Post by DaeLex »

Does anyone remember/like this movie? It seems as though either people hate it or love it.. I love it, it was such a fun movie when I was younger. Yes its a bit un-real but thats what makes it fun, thats what makes a lot of movies fun.. oh well anyway just wondering what all of you thought about this flick..

Heres some previews of the cover I am working on for it, designing it after the reatail but designing it the way I think they should have done it.. with veeeeeeeery limited resources mind you 8)

The indiana plate will hold the tech specs since this doesnt really have any special features... any comments or suggestions are welcome :)

Gotta say hate it - really teaches misplaced values and rationalizes stealing. And I don't use hate to describe a movie often.

I love it... I was all about some Blank Check when it came out. Great cover, I really like it.

Nah, money and material things arent of any real value. Cherish your friends and family, the environment, your faith. These are the things that truly matter. There is always someone who could use it more than you.

I really don't understand how you can cherish money although I guess a lot of people do. If I got extra, I give it to charity or spend it. Retirement be damned.

Oh I remember this movie I use to love watching it all random times. The movie was awsome and that house the kid was like every kids dream house. I would love to had a house with a slide in a room to slide into the pool that was always the coolest. :D (Good times)

Gosh this movie..
as a kid, I was soo entertained with it.
now I look back at it, and TSK TSK! If i ever saw my future kids watching them, i'd ground them forever and never give them allowance! :lol:

it doesn't teach any values that's why.
That's why my kids will watch DISNEY *animation* and CGI (maybe) :P. ;)

And a comment for Daelex, I like the cover! It rocks! 8)

I love this movie! The best part is thinking of the different ways you would spend the money if you were that kid.

It's ok, I guess. It's good to watch once, but I don't think I ever saw it a second time.

(this is how I remember it) Some rich guy's driver (yea, cuz rich guys don't drive. :roll:) accidently hits the kid on his bike; something something guys or cops are there, so the rich guy gets worried hoping (i don't remember..i think fraud or was it he's afraid the cops might catch him, the rich guy, for something bad he did...)....anyway, the rich guy gets worried and gives the kid a "blank check". smart kid realizes, blank check = "i can make it how much i want!" So he fills it in for 1 million dollars and lives out EVERY KID's DREAM! But because of that, the rich guy's bank account gets emptied! so in the movie, the rich guy starts searching for the kid to get his money.

that's how i remember it. :twisted:
but i wouldn't own it on DVD. :roll: or watch it again.

But you know what...<a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0109287/plotsummary">this</a> explains the movie better. ;)

blank check has a bad moral. that greedy kid lied and said he was macintosh then got alot of money. then he blamed it on someone else and lived happily ever after.
