Richie Rich	comment	Richie Rich (stylized as Ri¢hie Ri¢h) was the 1994 film version of the classic Harvey Comics character of the same name, starring Macaulay Culkin in his last official role as a "child actor". It is directed by Donald Petrie, with the screenplay by Tom S. Parker and Jim Jennewein.Richard "Richie" Rich Jr. (Culkin) is the 13-year-old son of the world's richest man, billionaire business magnate and investor Richard Rich Sr. (Edward Herrmann). While the caring, jovial Richard Sr. and Richie's mother Regina (Christine Ebersole) are dedicated parents who have always provided him with the best of everything, his sheltered upbringing has cut him off from some of life's simplest pleasures — other than his loyal butler, Herbert Cadbury (Jonathan Hyde), Richie's only friends are the spoiled children of other billionaires, who have little interest in down-to-earth pursuits like his passion for baseball. When Cadbury arranges for the local children of blue-collar factory workers to come play at the Rich estate, Richie is overjoyed.... until the news breaks that his parents are missing and presumed dead following a plane crash.Unbeknownst to Richie, the Riches' plane was bombed by their greedy Rich Industries CFO Lawrence Van Dough (John Larroquette), who seeks to gain control of their empire, plunder their famed family vault and inherit their vast fortune, with the help of Ferguson (Chelcie Ross), the Rich family's traitorous head of security. Van Dough's plan, however, immediately hits three snags: first, Richie's parents survived the crash and are merely lost at sea; secondly, he learns too late that the vault has been sealed by a voice-activation lock which requires the presence of the lost parents to open it; and lastly, Richie himself (who was originally supposed to be aboard the same plane) has decided to step up and run the Rich business empire until his parents are found, with Cadbury serving as his legal guardian.Richie immediately proves to be a business dynamo, achieving even more fame and fortune while bringing in his young friends as "research consultants" on the company's various kid-targeted products. The tide shifts again though, when Van Dough and Ferguson frame Cadbury for the bombing, removing the underage Richie's by-proxy authority over the company and essentially leaving him a prisoner in his own mansion after Van Dough takes over legal guardianship of him, and uses Cadbury's arrest to fire all of the other family servants en masse, leaving Ferguson and Van Dough's own personal security forces to take over and refuse to allow Richie to leave the estate grounds or his friends to see him.Richie's only hope of getting his butler, his parents, his family business and his life back ends up being his live-in research scientist, Professor Keenbean (Mike McShane), who devises a way to spring Cadbury from prison and attempt to locate the Riches' liferaft. Richie and his friends must then infiltrate the now highly-secured Rich manor, but meanwhile, Van Dough and Ferguson learn that the Rich parents are actually still alive and are attempting to retrieve Richard and Regina in order to coerce them to bypass the voiceprint lock to their legendary family vault...A sequel, Richie Rich's Christmas Wish, was released to Direct to Video in 1998.

When he tries to take over, he proves to be very keen on downsizing and slashing wages to make money.

He doesn't look down on the normal kids for having less money than he does, invites them over to hang out with no pretenses, and genuinely seems to want to help people (as evidenced by his decision as CEO of Rich Enterprises and keeping United Tool open despite doing it at a loss). It's a sharp contrast to other kids of a similar wealth to him, who are Spoiled Brats that can't quite comprehend how ordinary people live, even if they're not being actively malicious.

In the movie's climax, he undergoes a Villainous Breakdown where he blasts the faces on Mount Richmore. Not for any practical reason, but because he just wants some petty vengeance.

Moments later, when the vault opens, it's revealed that, instead of the endless cash, gold, and jewelry that Van Dough had imagined was kept inside, it instead contains mementos, keepsakes, and family heirlooms that are only of sentimental value, and that the Riches' money is either gathering interest in banks, or working through investments such as the stock market and real estate. The contents of the vault bring it and its vocal code into perfect context with each other, and this shows that while the Riches do value money (mostly for business, charity, and perks), they don't treasure it, instead saving the treasuring for their family and the good memories of their lives.

Downplayed, since his mom was not portrayed in the comics as unattractive for being on the fat side, but rather her figure was likely used as shorthand for "prosperous matron" and the movie just makes her more conventionally attractive in modern terms. The reverse is true for Professor Keenbean, who goes from a more stock "reedy scientist" type to a Big Fun portly guy, though he remains balding and bearded. Also he no longer needs glasses, while Richard Rich Sr. now does.

Their actual money is in banks and other investments. Notably, it was the opposite of the comics, where the Rich family really did stash cash, gold and jewels in numerous vaults on the estate.

Richie Rich / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: Van Dough's attempt on the Rich family were spoiled by two different spanners. Cadbury's suggestion that Richie stay home instead of joining his family's business trips foiled Van Dough attempt on Richie's life while Keenbean's Scent-Analyzer device helps mitigate the damage of the explosion on the parent's plane. However the latter example is arguably zigzagged since Van Dough's ultimate goal was to gain access to the 'wealth' of the Rich family vault; but the catch was that the vault was sealed with a voice lock that requires the Rich parents to open it. The fact that Van Dough's assassination attempt was largely foiled by Keenbean's 'spanner' prevented the possibility that the vault would be rendered largely inaccessible to him.

However, the fact that Keenbean knows the vault has that feature does implies that Van Dough was right to be skeptical about Keenbean's feigned ignorance since the voice-activated security is very high-tech and Keenbean is the Rich family's trusted Gadgeteer Genius. And since Van Dough still believed the Rich parents are dead, he demands Keenbean to find another way to get him into the vault.

Though it's hinted they mean nothing malicious, and are mainly adhering to their grooming for eventually running their families' businesses. It's also funny that the kids he does become friends with had to be bribed by Cadbury to hang out with him in the first place. They do quickly become genuine friends with him though, after spending a day with him at his house and realizing that he's actually a sweet kid, instead of a Spoiled Brat as they had first assumed.

Richie Rich / int_a39d6056	comment	Nice to the Waiter: Richie and his parents's relationship with Cadbury and the other Rich staff shows what good people they are. As such, after Van Dough takes legal guardianship of him after framing Cadbury for bombing the Rich family's plane and causing his parents' presumed deaths, Richie is clearly distraught when Van Dough uses the arrest as grounds to fire all of the other staff en masse under the "suspicion" of them potentially being Cadbury's "accomplices" in the crime. Thankfully, by the end of the film, after Van Dough's downfall and Richie's parents return, the servants have all been re-hired. Van Dough, meanwhile, fires his chauffeur over a petty accident and takes his anger over Richie's success out on his secretary, showing he's not a good person. Richie's spoiled classmate Reginald screams at a servant who brought him the wrong kind of coffee, irritating Richie who causes him to spill said coffee all over his fencing uniform. The servant can't help but giggle at Reginald's misfortune.

The scene where most of the good characters were almost sent through the molecular reorganizer is strongly reminiscent of the climactic scene of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, in terms of the villain's behavior and the background music (and the same composer, Alan Silvestri, provided both scores) The climax of the film sees the family on a Mount Rushmore replica, a tribute to North By Northwest. It's also foreshadowed earlier in the film when we see a security guard watching the movie on a little TV. Cadbury tells Richie in Latin that he has the power of his father inside him to which Richie interprets as "Trust the force, Luke". Professor Keenbean telling Van Dough, "You're despicable."

Richie Rich / int_df5d7746	comment	Artistic License – Prison: The scene where Cadbury breaks out of jail has all sorts of issues. First, the prisoners are sent into a bathroom area without a guard watching them. Such areas don't exist in prisons, and if they did, they would certainly be guarded. Second, a huge prisoner enters wearing Badass Biker garb, which would never be allowed. Third, the toothpaste and card that Richie gave to Cadbury would certainly have been inspected before they got to him, which would have shown that the toothpaste was a metal-dissolving agent created by Professor Keenbean, and the card had an explanation of how to escape. Cadbury screams for help after the biker attacks him, yet nobody shows up. Aside from the aforesaid problems with the room being unguarded, fights in prison are usually over quickly because everything the prisoners do is monitored at all times. Finally, Cadbury escapes out the window of the prison, and nobody ever notices that one of their prisoners is missing. Presumably, everything got cleared up off-screen, but the fact that no one came looking for Cadbury is relatively suspect.
