If you're bored...

Probably kind of silly reviewing a super old movie like this, but with the power out and nothing else to do I decided to watch it on my phone on YouTube. As the other reviewer said it's not that good but it's not the worst either. Couldn't decide if it was supposed to be a dramatic comedy or what? The three kidnappers were very mindful of the two bad guys in the Home Alone movies. Bumbling idiots. The storyline had some moments, but it was almost like a Disney film, in that it was very predictable. The worst part about it was whoever the director was. If that's all the better he can do. I hope that was the only filmy directed. William Shatner was in it, and it certainly wasn't his best work either, although a lot of that I attribute to the Director. Anyway, if it's a boring evening, with nothing else to watch on TV, you could give it a try if you're into this genre. And your kids might like it.
