A lot of slating on here, but we found it ok to watch, but probably for the wrong reasons as my wife is a teacher. The amount of CPS infringements were astounding, little girl spends her time alone in the janitors room, same girl left alone in a school after it closes with no adults on the last day of term. Parents who forget to pick up their child on a regular basis etc. The acting was charming though, with 'Barbi' doing a great job as the evil robber lumbered with two dim men, just shows should never just fall for the hot ones.
The parents, where do I start, Richards looked tired and far in excess of her 47 years despite tons of shiny makeup, the husband, my wife would have divorced through his total ineptitude, she was in stitches over the goats. Despite having a child home alone in a school, they decide to take time to spend it a barn. There was so much going on, we were never bored, ok its not a great high budget movie, but I liked it far more than than the bratty kid in home alone, which I guess it alludes to. The final icing on the cake was the present of an empty guitar case, what a dad, ok so it sets up Glover to gift, but even so, poor child. I was not spent clockwatching waiting for the end. Take it what is it, a lighthearted kids film and just go with it.
