Spoiled brat ruins Christmas for Richie

After being sabotaged on his yearly Christmas run to the orphans home, Richie Rich begins feeling sorry for himself and wishes he was never born. What happens is a total surprise to the boy and leads to situation much worse than the one he was so upset over. Some of the acting was extremely bad as was much of the tale; so silly it was pretty much for kids only. The one truly bright spot was the beastly little Reggie Rich, a little snot I would take pleasure in permanently maiming.

Richie Rich christmas wish

Richie Rich christmas wish is a film about a 13-year old boy who had a cousin named Reggie. Reggie was very mean to Richie.... So one day Reggie did a embarrassing thing for Richie. So Richie wished in a machine that he was never born.

same plot to a Classic Christmas Movie

This spin-off movie to the 1994 Macaulay Culkin movie has the exact same plot to the 1946 classic film "It's a Wonderful Life" in which Richie Rich (played by David Gallagher of Television's 7th Heaven) is the George Bailey character and Reggie Van Dough (played by Jake Richardson of Fudge and Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves) is the Mr. Potter character. the story is awkward and ridiculous, the characters are okay since they were based off the Comic Book series by Harvey Entertainment who brought us Casper the Friendly Ghost and Baby Huey and even Eugene Levy plays a good role as Professor Keanbean and even Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren play a very good role as Richie Rich's parents and the last role of Keene Curtis as Cadbury before his death in 2002. so on and all this cheesy family christmas movie produced by the company that brought us Power Rangers is not to great and recommend seeing "It's a Wonderful Life".

some familiar faces

Richie Rich (David Gallagher) is the richest kid in the world. Professor Keenbean (Eugene Levy) has created a wishing machine from a dinosaur's wish bone. Of course, it goes badly. His wish is that he was never born. His bratty cousin Reggie Van Dough is the new richest kid in the world.

The fun of Richie Rich is his many gadgets and endless riches. I'm not saying that he's actually fun. Whatever fun is the ridiculous riches. The most fun in this one happens with the familiar faces who pop up. On a side note, Reggie looks a bit like Millie Bobby Brown. Otherwise, this is a not so fun straight-to-video.

Richie Rich'$ Christmas Wish

You would think that being bitten by a radioactive $100 bill would be the basis of an affluent comic book character.

However, the only power the world's richest kid in this family-comedy possesses is that of financial persuasion.

After his envious cousin Reggie Van Dough (Jake Richardson) sabotages Richie Rich (David Gallagher) and his butler Cadbury's (Keene Curtis) sleigh, and slanders him around town, Richie uses a wish machine - cooked up by one of his scientists - to wish he'd never been born.

Trapped in a world where Reggie is now the richest and meanest kid in the world, Richie races to obtain the dinosaur fossil that will fuel this alternate realities disengaged wishing machine.

With a story that borrows heavily from superior seasonal fare and a cast of no names replacing the noteworthy originals, Richie Rich'$ Christmas Wish is bankrupt.

As for my Christmas wish: no Christmas until December 1. (Red Light)

Trivia

Goofs

Quotes
Sergeant Mooney: I would never work for someone who would cancel Christmas!

Alternate versions
After the movie was released on video in 1998,it was shown on Fox Family Television during the holiday season and is shown every holiday season on that network. The version on television features two scenes not on the home video version. They are:
Someone knocks at the door which Sgt. Mooney would put a hole in later. A maid opens the door and it is a package delivery man. She says "Oh,another one!" After she closes the door and puts the package down,Richie gets out of the box. Now we know how he got in,and we know what present it was that Reggie says he found torn open.
After Richie finds his parents at the orphanage,instead of going to outside the Rich Manor,we go inside where Mr and Mrs. Rich,Cadbury,Prof. Keenbeen and Mrs. Peabody from the orphanage are sitting by the fire. Richie come up and gives them each a present. Mr and Mrs. Van Dough appear with Reggie and
Reggie is forced to apologize to Richie for making the sleigh malfunction. Mrs. Van Dough says "Kids,you know. You never know what they'll do" Richie gives them presents as well and Prof. Keenbean tells everybody to listen. He can hear people singing outside. They all retreat outdoors. Then the scene from the video version starts outside.
