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.

My sister used to have this obsession with Jonathan Jackson, so when she found out this movie was on, she taped it. I was bored one day, so I put it on and watched it, and it's not the greatest movie, but it's not the worst either.
Jonathan Jackson plays Rudy. a very rich child and head of a business that he inherited from his father after he died. When Rudy is kidnapped, a friend of his father's, Professor Wooley finds a boy named Oliver (Rudy's doppelganger) to run the buisness for him and lead Rudy's life.
Watch it if it comes on TV one day, but don't waste your time looking for it. 6/10
