    One of Macaulay Culkin's few movies after Home Alone where he tried hard to keep that "I'm a naughty cute kid" act that just didn't work for him anymore.

    Cute movie.
    Macaulay Culkin was adorable once again. Got that cheeky but witty charm still.
    Ted Danson was funny! Always is - But his hair in this movie!? Dear God no!
    Saul Rubinek and Gailard Sartain were the two stupid accomplices - No help but had funny moments.

    We have ...( read more)young kid Timmy (Culkin) - Who gets dumped at his dads house , but at an awkward time as his dad, Ray (Danson) is currently planning a heist to get $1.5million worth of coins, (with two accomplices Bobby and Carl)
    The heist goes to plan, but young Timmy takes the coins and hides them in order to get his dads attention. All he wants is time with his father, as he's ignored. I did feel sorry for Timmy at the beginning as noone really wants him around.
    With the coins being out of sight, it leads to Ray spending quality time with his son, taking him to various places, you see the connection between them grow. You see a heart to ex-con Ray, but you know he's only interested in finding out where the coins are hidden.
    Obviously there are cops involved, one on the case is Detective Theresa Walsh (Glenne Headly) She's quirky, abit ditzy, but you can see she's interested in Ray.

    An ok family movie, with a nice ending.
