The scene where Ritchie calls his dad about getting a zit wasnt necessarily supposed to be a joke. It was meant to signify Ritchie's loneliness and calling his dad with a superfluous problem as an excuse to have contact with someone
those kids are stuidly unrealistic. when I was a kid everyone wanted to hang out with the rich kid. they had the best stuff, had the best birthday parties etc.
@@sgtjohnson All kids are shallow, only in movies they can be "Oh so very proud while being poor to hang out with the rich kid". In reality they'd be glad to hang out with Richie, even if despising him secretly.
I like how the message is that friends are the one thing you can’t buy-except he kinda does. Richies friends become friends with him because he has fancy stuff like a rollercoaster and before he managed to coax them to his house where all his stuff was they thought he was lame.
"Because you never known when the world needs robotic bees!" And then bees started to die due to unknown reasons and people are desperate to fix the situation so that ecosystem does not collapse due to lack of pollination. We could use that robobee right now...
Funnily enough, bees are not indigenous to the Americas. It's amazing how well they integrated with the native environment to the point where their removal causes more harm than good.
Oh come on. Most kids wanted to have a McDonald's in front of their door, where they could eat every day. That is, until they grow up and realize that McDonald's food is shit.
They probably get better pay than actual McDonald's employees and rarely have to work. And the kid is so rich, he can afford it. Does not sound like a bad job. :-D
Mel Gibson got basically that for attempted murder if his ex-fiancé. Hell they threw out the 4 felonies(mandatory 30years total), and slapped him with a misdemeanour. So, if you ever try to kill someone, tell them you want the Gibson special, and I’m sore you’ll get the same treatment took
Sounds about right, there was an heir to the Du Pont family who was caught, and admitted to, raping a 3 year old and received probation due to being rich. literally, that was why he never received any jail time, because "his family status and wealth would make him a target in prison, which would constitute cruel and unusual punishment".
In Macaulay Culkin's defense, Richie Rich came out in 1994- the same year he chose to take a break from acting and just 3 years before he would take his parents to court and sue for emancipation when he officially retired from being a child star following extensively (mentally, physically and verbally) abusive behavior by his father, failed actor Kit Culkin after his parents filed for divorce. His own failed career is why he pushed Macaulay, Keiran, Shane, and Rory into the acting field and then would live vicariously through their sucess- especially Macaulay who was an absolute rising star in the 90s. In fact, you can blame several of Macaulay's bad roles on Kit who acted as his son's manager. He insisted his son take roles like "The Good Son", even threatening to pull him from Home Alone 2 if he didn't do it. Not saying that makes this performance any better, but it's important to remember he was going through a hell of a lot during this film.
@@Kitsurubariyeah Jonathan Hyde is great. He actually wasn't the first choice to play Cadbury. John Cleese offered the part but turned it down. Tim Allen was considered to play Richies dad but declined.
Huh, I just now got the feeling 'Hey, I want to check up that Richie Rich review again, it's been a while' turns out it's been exactly 10 years to the day.
People are probably wondering why there even was a Richie Rich movie. But here's a harsh truth: there have been more Richie Rich comic book titles than titles for any other comic book character. More than Superman. More than Batman. More than any superhero. Richie Rich has probably starred in more comic books than probably any other character.
I happened to be the target demographic when the movie came out and I thought it was an original idea. Turns out that the only reason my mother took me to the movie is because she read the comic books and was curious about her own nostalgia. I will say though, I did enjoy the movie at the time, and if I watched it again, I probably still would. Also, my mother enjoyed it as well. To her, it did hold up to her memories.
As John said, yeah he takes every shot like hes the Terminator, I don't care how expensive those fencing lessons are, they will not turn you into Rambo at freaking 14!
feathero3 Yeah, maybe they could've even had Jonathan Hyde, who played Cadbury, play Alfred in the DC Cinematic Universe and just have Jeremy Irons, who played Alfred in the DCCU, be Lex Luthor in "BvS: DOJ" instead of Jesse Eisenberg. Edit: No offense to Jesse Eisenberg, but he was completely miscast as Luthor.
He isn't always right. He called James and the Giant Peach ridiculous, which meant nothing because it's James and the Giant Peach; it's supposed to be ridiculous. Although he did bring up a few good points like when Ms Spider said the others treated her like an outcast, even though what we saw was the exact opposite. People also harped on his review of the first Matrix movie. Personally, I thought the movie was okay. I also don't agree with his review of The Temple of Doom. He didn't like the movie because he thought it was "too dark" but I thought it raised the stakes and added a layer that the original, while also good, didn't have.The point is that critics are just like everybody else. They have their viewpoints, opinions, loves, and hates. Although, in this case, I have to agree. Richie Rich isn't a good movie.
What do you know about other people childhood? I barely remember that movie at all, and I would be sad if this movie was the only thing worth remembering from my younger days...
For all the jokes NC makes about McCulley Culken (I can't spell his name for the life of me) I honestly find his performances charming in a way, even outside of the first two Home Alone movies save for The Good Son, but even in that he manages to make such a psychotic child character hilariously, cartoonishly, and unrepentantly evil. Apart from all of that, I do have a lot of respect for the guy and he has come out the other side of a rough life and conquered his demons with addiction, which is something I think deserves to be positively recognized more often than it seems to be. When it comes to most of his movies, for me at least, he manages to at least put some life into what would otherwise ring rather hollow were he not in them.
The sad thing is that Macaulay actually didn't want to do "The Good Son" but rather his dad, who acted as his manager at the time, demanded he take the role or he would pull him from Home Alone 2. In fact, Macaulay would actually retired between '94 (when RR came out) and '97 when he sued his parents for emancipation. Poor kid went through hell
@@brideofcthulhu347 That's so sad but I can't say I'm surprised. A lot of child stars go through hellish stuff like that, especially back in Culkin's day, which if you ask me when that happens it's nothing but exploitative on the part of the parents that do this. I'm not sure if it happens as much anymore, but back then it was more common. I don't say this to trivialize Culkin's suffering, but to point out how sad it is that this kind of thing used to fly a lot more easily at that time when this should never happen to child stars.
You know, Golden Dunsparce- Bees actually try try not to sting because they know they'll die if they do. Now wasps, THOSE are the guys you should be worrying about. They still should do that though, I see where you're coming from...
Actually, ONLY honey bees die from stinging you. Wasps, bumble bees, etc. don't die because they have smooth stingers, and lancelets can retract their barbs in their stingers. A honey bee has an arrow-shaped stinger (like a dunsparce lmao). When a honey bee stings you, only its stinger and venom sacs get yanked out. It dies from the rupture in its abdomen, but not from its guts getting yanked out! o_o;
There's this one joke in the movie thats meant for "adults". Honestly I found it amusing. The John Larroquette character is on this weird two person workout machine with a woman. John is bobbing up and down and the woman is going back and forth. Then she groans and says "it's so hard". Yeah.

@@podyjr101 there actually was a wealthy politician (i want to say a senator) who claimed that he wasnt a silverspoon trust fund baby, he started his own company with a "small loan of a million dollars" which was the equivelence of $20-30 million today. This was done before Trump, i want to say it was a minor contreversy in the 90s and the man was mocked for it since he basically turned a $20mil interest free loan, a million dollar education, and all his father contacts into a $100mil business over the coarse of 30-40 years.
I think this along with The Good Son, Getting Even With Dad and The Pagemaster did to Macaulay Culkin what Two Of A Kind, Moment By Moment, Staying Alive and Perfect did to John Travolta.
Where's Irona? She was my favorite character from the cartoon. Im the only person my age who even knows who Richie Rich is. Its fun being a lover of obscure old cartoons
I loved this movie as a kid, I had such *a huge crush on him,* McCauley Culkin was like a modernized fairy tale prince here. 😐 Sigh... He went through a lot growing up. It's really heart breaking to think about, so I try not to.
There is one movie where the "hero" crashes and burns his own dreams: Fitzcarraldo with Klaus Kinski. Pretty old and niché, but there is a widely known movie :)
15:46 To answer this question, it's because it's easier to shoot the body instead of the head. The is head smaller and if you hit the body you can usually hit a vital organ.
I always liked this movie as a kid, and this review did not do a good job of convincing me that it was actually bad. It is overly simplistic, but meh. It's a kid's movie.
That CGI Robo bee still looks 100x better than the dumb CGI they come out with today. Why was CGI better back when computers were way weaker? Oh yeah, money, budgets, and talent.
Really?? He looked exactly like his Cadbury character in Jumanji with the black suit and everything. He plays two characters. One being Allen's father and Van Pelt.
I remember this movie mostly because thanks to it as a kid in the mid 90's I acknowledged the term 'e-mail'. Never heard of something like that before.
Something not mention on the review is that between the Comic Strip and the live action film was cartoon series. Richie Rich had previously had been adapted as a cartoon on Saturday morning TV from 1980-1984 (first as part of the “The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show” from ‘80-‘82 and then “The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show” from ‘82-‘84. It was revived in syndication in 1996 for 13 episodes. It was just after the Cartoon revival that the live action film debuted. In the first cartoon version, Richie was always seen waring sweater with a big C on it (as apposed to the tuxedo seen in the original comic strip) and his age was said to be about 12 yo. In the 1996 revival of the cartoon he was dressed in a tuxedo as in the comic strip,
9:34 Why do kids prefer junk food and fast food over exquisite gourmet dining? Take advantage of your situation, you fools! Ask the chef to prepare you a tuna steak or something! Or glazed salmon with sauteed asparagus! Or caramelized parsnips! Okay, that last one is "rustic gourmet," but you get my point.
I crave for alot of things in this movie like having my own McDonald's. The fact that professor Keanbean is so overweight and gets all that McDonald's is sickening. Even if he just had one cheeseburger...not a good a idea.
In czech republic this was literally marketed as the third home alone. I literally just now found out, that it is a completely different movie.. Thanks once again Critic :)

2:31 Clearly you haven't heard of the SAS...They're the British uncles that taught the US Navy SEALs how to fight.
Its a joke!
Yeah - you’re still not known for your athletic abilities dude. Only your bad teeth
9:50 I'm sure a lot of people nowadays would like this time stamp...
I got to say. Regardless if I like a film or not. Nostalgia Critic is super funny. You should be a comedian. I died laughing so hard.
3:55 Coincidently, the bees are actually dying quite rapidly.
World saving robots if not for them being killers
When this movie came out in 94, the comic stores were still selling Richie rich, Casper, Archie, etc
This movie was Mack's Sendoff. He was basically riding off into the sunset.
@@Tornado1994until Party Monster and Saved!
@@randalgraves6979 That's Right! We didn't see him again publicly for almost 10 years!
3:10 a small loan of a million dollars?
Drage I grab them by the pussy.
NC: Donald!
I was just about to say 3:08 to 3:21... wow... did he predict the future
I’ll give you that and a 50% discount
@@podyjr101 there actually was a wealthy politician (i want to say a senator) who claimed that he wasnt a silverspoon trust fund baby, he started his own company with a "small loan of a million dollars" which was the equivelence of $20-30 million today. This was done before Trump, i want to say it was a minor contreversy in the 90s and the man was mocked for it since he basically turned a $20mil interest free loan, a million dollar education, and all his father contacts into a $100mil business over the coarse of 30-40 years.
Richie Rich is still an awesome movie to this day! One of my favorite childhood movies ever!
Same
Hilariously, the Cadbury actor was in Titanic and Crimson Peak. So he has a few badass points under his belt.
Yeah that's Jonathan Hyde. He's great in this movie and other stuff like Jumanji,Anaconda,and the Mummy.
I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT PAGEMASTER IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN'S MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!
I will have you know your wrong
Mr Internet says WROOONG!!!
Well, this comment caught my attention, gee, I wonder why.....
When i was a kid i used to love this movie. Even got it on VHS
Same
13:22 this is a really great fight, glad I'm facing towards it
... is it bad to say i actually liked Pagemaster and this movie? i know they're bad now, but...there's still this nostalgia feeling when i see them.
Nothing wrong with that as long as you know what's wrong
true, very true.
Pagemaster is pure imagination fuel.
and that animation~ like an actual book came to life.
At least your still acknowledging its flaws, so your not blind to theme.
I think this along with The Good Son, Getting Even With Dad and The Pagemaster did to Macaulay Culkin what Two Of A Kind, Moment By Moment, Staying Alive and Perfect did to John Travolta.
Where's Irona? She was my favorite character from the cartoon. Im the only person my age who even knows who Richie Rich is. Its fun being a lover of obscure old cartoons
prettyinpink903 Translation: LOOK AT ME!!! IM SPECIAL!!!
She's in the new one.
You're thinking of the reboot.
This is the...original.
I loved this movie as a kid, I had such *a huge crush on him,* McCauley Culkin was like a modernized fairy tale prince here. 😐 Sigh... He went through a lot growing up. It's really heart breaking to think about, so I try not to.
There is one movie where the "hero" crashes and burns his own dreams: Fitzcarraldo with Klaus Kinski. Pretty old and niché, but there is a widely known movie :)
I remember that Simpsons episode where bart said Casper was the ghost of Ritchie rich.
Lol Casper is the ghost of Devon Sawa...atleast in the 1995 film with Christini Ricci and Bill Pullman.
15:46 To answer this question, it's because it's easier to shoot the body instead of the head. The is head smaller and if you hit the body you can usually hit a vital organ.
10:55 underrated moment right there
I always liked this movie as a kid, and this review did not do a good job of convincing me that it was actually bad. It is overly simplistic, but meh. It's a kid's movie.
Y'know, they still use that mansion in different films.
Seriously, look at the end of the first X-Men, you can see the RR symbol.
If only the rest of this film was as good as the “in banks, where else?” and “shoot them now please” lines
That CGI Robo bee still looks 100x better than the dumb CGI they come out with today. Why was CGI better back when computers were way weaker? Oh yeah, money, budgets, and talent.
WHY DID NETFLIX MAKE A SHOW OUT OF THIS
Why... Why would they do this?!
+Daniel Audéoud it was a cartoon in the 60s or 70s and this movie is based off that
Huh?
+thomasmageeporter/GamingGutter yeah I used to watch that show. It was a cool show.
Infinatis cause it is awesome and they love ( money) their lovely viewers
9:14 Dat ain't no house, its whole hood.
How did I just realize that Cadbury is the dad from Jumanji
Really?? He looked exactly like his Cadbury character in Jumanji with the black suit and everything. He plays two characters. One being Allen's father and Van Pelt.
@@bryanrizzo9377 yep that's why I asked how
15:36 HE’S GOT A SWORD!!
I remember this movie mostly because thanks to it as a kid in the mid 90's I acknowledged the term 'e-mail'. Never heard of something like that before.
Something not mention on the review is that between the Comic Strip and the live action film was cartoon series. Richie Rich had previously had been adapted as a cartoon on Saturday morning TV from 1980-1984 (first as part of the “The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show” from ‘80-‘82 and then “The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show” from ‘82-‘84. It was revived in syndication in 1996 for 13 episodes. It was just after the Cartoon revival that the live action film debuted. In the first cartoon version, Richie was always seen waring sweater with a big C on it (as apposed to the tuxedo seen in the original comic strip) and his age was said to be about 12 yo. In the 1996 revival of the cartoon he was dressed in a tuxedo as in the comic strip,
The question is how well the movie and that show follow the source material
A ridiculously rich kid taking over the factory of his dead/unfound parents with a butler to help him? Sounds like black butler to me
Sounds like Batman to me
Sounds like Artemis Fowl if it sucked.
Artemis Fowl doesn't suck, though. It's awesome. Richie Rich on the other hand....
Nobody Watching he said if it sucked
I know. I was just expounding on my love for AF and my dislike of Richie Rich. I suppose it's difficult to convey tone over a text.
9:55 that joke aged well
Uhhhhhh
3:54
We need robo bees more then ever
9:34 Why do kids prefer junk food and fast food over exquisite gourmet dining? Take advantage of your situation, you fools! Ask the chef to prepare you a tuna steak or something! Or glazed salmon with sauteed asparagus! Or caramelized parsnips! Okay, that last one is "rustic gourmet," but you get my point.
Wasn't really a hero but I liked John Larroquette in The 10th kingdom, and he wasn't the villain.
Wasn't the fat scientist in this movie also Friar Tuck in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves?
Eeeeeeyep
hes mike mcshane yeah
This movie does make me crave for chocolate milkshakes.
I crave for alot of things in this movie like having my own McDonald's. The fact that professor Keanbean is so overweight and gets all that McDonald's is sickening. Even if he just had one cheeseburger...not a good a idea.
NC: when is the world going to need a robobee?
2021: hello, welcome to the future
In czech republic this was literally marketed as the third home alone. I literally just now found out, that it is a completely different movie.. Thanks once again Critic :)
International marketing can be weird
10:05 Oh yeah, this was before 9/11... I wonder how much flak this would have gotten if it were made after 2001 just for that scene alone.
I love how he has no reaction to being shot multiple times despite the massive bruising he undoubtedly got
Damn, I just realized Edward Herrmann who plays Richie Rich's father died four years ago.
Did they really think that a 30 minute Hanna-Barbera show that ran for 4 seasons and 41 episodes was movie material?
Funny thing is Poor E. Book is actually his cousin... that's even in the comic strip
Wait Ben Stine was in this movie?
14:06
FUCKING BUBBLES!!!
i always liked the Butler, i'd want a guy like that watching over my kids.
"touch him again, and YOU'LL need protection." DAMN STRAIGHT!
14:30 Fly in Texas? Nine injections? Mayan Dentist? My intestines? Marty's bed tux?
14:17 You'd think she would've called... THE POLICE.
Ba-dum-tishhh
I miss pudding pops. That shit was delicious.
