Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
mattgenever Geez...c'mon producers! This series provides yet another example of stereotyping on American TV. white rich kidditsy girl that just likes to spend moneybespectacled boy that saves money and is a numbers geekand worst of all robot slave girl dressed in maid outfit direct from a porn studio!I am raising two girls to be strong, independent, driven, positive women. The constant profiling of girls and women in TV is outrageous!Time for this sort of junk to get off the box.
michaelhirakida I have this weird thing with the Netflix original series Richie Rich, based off the famous comic strip. The whole show is about the titular character making a trillion dollars overnight after his brand new invention that makes greens become an energy source. He moves his dad and sister into a new mansion with a Robot Maid. He has some friends like an accountant named Murray and Darcy who is the money spender (seriously why would he need a money spender?) and it follows the family and friend's adventures.The whole thing is so cheap. I mean, seriously so cheap. You could put cardboard as the background and it would still look more expensive then this! I always riff this show for having excuses of why they can't show anything expensive or cool and that is the reason. The show is completely ridiculous. The Kids do act like most kids, but with a few adult traits to them. Murray has a phobia of losing money and loves to save up and invest in things while Darcy is a shopaholic who contrasts from Murray a lot. The show has some extremely dumb things like in Episode 7, Murray goes to Antarctica to get Richie a check to sign, but he loses it, ends up going back and thinks he is a penguin. You know what the weirdest thing about this show is?I actually don't mind it at all.Not all kids are going to enjoy the humor of the show. I mean, the thematic elements of the show is money and I still don't know how kids are going to enjoy the economy jokes, but maybe for the older audience it will appeal more to those who grew up with the comics.Some of the jokes can be really funny and sometimes they can be really dull. My favorite by far is in Episode 7, one of my favorite episodes by far where Darcy has two musical numbers about how they should abandon Murray and why Murray was better off as a penguin.The show reminds me of old Disney Sitcoms from the 2000's like Suite Life/On Deck and that's a good thing because I did like watching a few of those shows on TV. Not a lot of people and kids are going to like this, but to those who do, Season 2 is out now with 11 episodes. Check it out, I don't think it's a terrible show, it has a cool likable lead and some good characters. Definitely for kids though, unless the old timers want to watch it.67/100 C+
jeff-92-33421 I don't think that this concept is something that will ever translate well from comic books to television or movies. The Richie Rich comics were funny because they described wealth so outlandish, that when Mom went to the East Wing of the mansion, she traveled by plane. Money gushing out of oil wells and vaults so big they were measured in acres. Stuff like that.Of course, that stuff does not translate to the real world very easily. Richie Rich may be a good comic for kids fascinated by money, since it teaches that friendship and family is far more important than money. But trying to translate that into a real-world TV show by papering the walls of Richie's bedroom with foreign banknotes just seems silly.The concept COULD work if it were "dialed down" a bit... Like a show about a kid in an extremely wealthy family who just wants to play with other kids and is a good person, but who has to contend with things like the security guards that follow him everywhere for his protection. Or who asks his Dad for lunch money on his way out the door and his Dad hands him a $100 bill because it is the smallest bill he has. Little jokes like that would at least be believable.But this series is completely over the top. I know that most movies and TV shows require a suspension of disbelief, but this one requires a suspension of your entire brain.
danceatabbylees When I saw this on Netflix, at first glance it looked terrible.. But I'm happy I took a chance and watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, and would recommend it to others to watch. Some of the writing is bad, but some of the writing is good as well. As with any series, with a bit of fine tuning, it has the potential to be great. The acting is very good in my opinion, and I feel like the actors (especially Jenna Ortega who plays Darcy, and Kiff VandenHeuvel who plays Cliff, Richie's father.) I really hope more episodes are made in the future, so we can see how the show, and their actors improve. I feel that many young ones alike will enjoy the show, seeing that it is very entertaining, and attention grabbing as the viewers can visualize themselves in the situations, and have fun watching the show. It's very fun and entertaining, I'm sure you'll love it!
