n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Blank Check is a 1994 Family Comedy Staring Brian Bonsall as Preston Waters who wants to have a lot of a lot of money and he gets his bike run over by a man and the man writes him a check the parents are mad at Preston for get his bike run over. He goes to his fill the Blank Check and goes to the Bank the next day and he meets the Bank Teller Shay Stanley who tells he to have more in his account. He goes to meet Biderman who one of the villains of the movie and give him stolen money and Preston spend all the money and gets a comic relief Limo Driver. Anyway I really in enjoyed this movie yes it's stupid and unrealistic but it's a nice movie. I Give Blank Check a 10 out 10 Stars. Anyway I'm GravityFalls2 and have a nice day. BYE. The Movie was Directed By Rupert Wainwright

Preston Waters is a young boy with no money. His older brothers are taking over his room for their business. His grandma's birthday check isn't enough to open a bank account. Escaped robber Carl Quigley (Miguel Ferrer) threatens bank president Edward Biderman (Michael Lerner) and orders him to launder his stolen money. Carl is sending Juice (Tone Loc) the next day to cash a check. Outside the bank, Carl almost runs over Preston with his car and destroys his bike. Carl gives Preston a check but fails to write down an amount as he rushes away before the cops arrive. Preston fills in $1 million. Biderman mistakes Preston for the expected Juice and hands over the money. Preston creates a fake identity Macintosh to buy a mansion, hire chauffeur Henry, woo bank teller Shay Stanley (Karen Duffy) who turns out to be an undercover cop, and throw a big birthday party.Money obsession is not necessary a great subject for a kids movie. This could still be fun if Preston has friends. It could be loads of childhood fun. Instead, he's alone and it's terribly sad. The young actor isn't charismatic enough and it's probably expecting too much from him. His fling with Karen Duffy is borderline creepy. The villains are not bumbling enough and Miguel Ferrer is actually quite scary. There is simply a lack of fun in this kids movie.

Brian Boswell plays 11 year old Preston who only wants one thing. Well, everything. But it mainly boils down to money. It doesn't help that his older brothers have stolen what little life savings he had and on top of that need his room for their marketing job.Things keep getting worse when a town bully decides to embarrass him and later steal his birthday check. Incidentally bad guy Carl Quigley (played by Miguel Ferrer) happens to run over Preston's bike and explodes at him, but the town bully seems to decide to give Quigley some trouble. Quigley apparently just out of prison decides to write a check for the bike but seeing a cop, gives Preston the check with only his signature and takes off in haste. Preston later realizes this and fills it out for $1,000,000. But what's really going on is that bank owner Biderman (Michael Lerner) is supposed to give $1 million to a guy named Juice (Tone Loc), and just so happens to mistaken Preston for Juice.So now, the theme takes place with Preston (also using alias Macintosh, the name he gave when prompted after buying the house, where he used his Macintosh computer to speak) partying like no tomorrow and dating an undercover bank lady Shay (Karen Duffy). But these three guys are after Preston, yet unaware that Shay and the FBI are also after these three guys and eager to meet this so called Macintosh. And one thing for sure is that this ain't going to end to happy (well, it might for a PG film but it'll get a bit tense before a happy ending) While this film has so many flaws, I have found it very addicting to this day. I've probably seen it +20 times.For one thing, the cast of actors/actresses is pretty decent.Miguel Ferrer (from Another Stakeout and Hot Shots 2) seems to be his usual 'bad behavior' bad guy (popping a little kid's balloon and cutting Biderman's phone).James Rebhorn (from Carlito's Way and My Cousin Vinny) plays as Preston's dad, and seems very PC type.Jayne Atkinson (from 24 as Karen Hayes) plays as Preston's mom.Tone Loc plays as bad guy Juice who was supposed to get the million dollars. He makes several wise cracks throughout the film.Michael Lerner (from When do we Eat) plays as a big fat bank owner Biderman, who seems very funny when it comes to making excuses.Karen Duffy plays as the undercover FBI agent passing off as a bank teller who Preston has the hots for.Debbie Allen plays as Preston's party planner, who just seems to show up out of the blew and seems to take over the film in the few scenes she can (although it's very funny when someone pulls part of her fake wig off and she screeches).And Rick Ducommun plays as Preston's friendly limo driver who at one point goes on about how he doesn't understand those philosophical expressions.Overall a very flawed but enjoyable film. The actors/actresses above really keep the film entertaining.

Yeah, this movie sucks the big one. Read the other reviews, ALMOST everything that needs to be said has been said already. There is however, one big thing that other reviews have either not mentioned enough of or forgot about entirely, and that's how terrible the main character's parents are!This kid is suffering with parents who lets the two older brothers take over his room for their stupid lawn moving business, not to mention buys them a new computer. And then there are the lectures about how the older brothers know how to make money and save money, while the younger son doesn't. Later on, the kid almost gets ran over, but luckily only his bike is destroyed, and the parents care more about the cost of the bike, than the safety of their child, and lecture him about protecting your valuables and ground him.OK. 2 teeny-tiny eency-weency little things. 1: HE'S 11!!!!!!!!!! He's not even supposed to be saving money or making money at that age! You might as well be saying, "Well son, you've just finished kindergarten, so when are ya getting' that job?" 2: THOSE PARENTS SHOULD BE SHOT!!!!!! The only reason this kid is obsessed with money in the first place is because his parents are! And they ground him for nearly getting hit by a car and possibly seriously injured or even killed because he didn't protect his bike? I'd bet if he did get killed, they probably would celebrate because of the money they'd now save.You know what, after having to deal with these parents, I'd say give the kid $1,000,000 and a hot chick! And sentence his parents to death by firing squad!I'm not gonna talk any more of this film, because those parents disgust me enough. The rest of the film isn't any better.Except for one little bit of trivia: The actress Karen Duffy (who was the only good thing about this movie) plays the character Shay, and then plays another unrelated character also named Shay in "Dumb & Dumber" which came out only 10 months after "Blank Check". Do you think the Farrelly Brothers did that on purpose to remind us that Karen Duffy was in this piece of crap? I certainly hope so. Because this movie sucks the big one! And if you do wanna see Karen Duffy, check out "Dumb & Dumber" instead.
