If it wasn't for Pesci, I would have given it a 1.

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2003)

This is just one movie that I cannot stand. I am not wild about movies that are mainly about kids who get the best of adults, and this definitely fits the bill as one of those movies. What really gets me, is this kid would not have gotten into all the trouble he did if he wasn't such a brat. The family is trying to organize this big trip with all these other relatives, and all the their younger son can do is whine and complain. "I don't want to sleep with that kid", "I have to have my pizza a certain way", stuff like that...and he is supposed to be the kid we are pulling for? We get to see him left alone and do all the things kids do when they are left alone. Watch black and white old movies. Yes, and this kid is such a wimp that a black and white mobster pick scares him. Though he uses it so wisely later in the movie (yeah right, that would work). This kid somehow outsmarts the two thieves even though earlier one of them is smart enough to impersonate a police officer and check all the security of the houses in the neighborhood. I guess his intelligence went down a notch or two. Then there are the many clever traps that usually consist of someone getting hit in the groin area...ha ha ha! It is always so funny to see someone get hit there and writhe in agony. All in all this is just one bad movie that I did not care for at all. I just wish the kid got into some kind of trouble for all the problems he caused.
