Oh man! I loved watching Blank Check as a kid! The amount of times I viewed this in my childhood I've lost count. The story of Preston Waters (Brian Bonsall) getting a blank check from a guy in a car who totally ruins his bike, and cashes it in for one million dollars brings back a lot of nostalgic memories of viewing. He gets filthy rich and goes on a spending spree, but soon gets into more trouble than he bargained for when the money he stole comes back to haunt him in more ways than one.
I had forgot all about this movie until recently when I saw a cheap DVD copy and decided to purchase it. Even after 27 years re-watching this after so long still brought a smile to my face. Yes the plot makes absolutely no sense whatsover and has the typical cliche message that family and love should be valued over money and that it can't buy happiness. But you know it doesn't bother me. This is not a film that should be taken seriously. I still found it quite entertaining, with the acting across the cast being decent. I smiled all the way through and laughed sometimes at the silliness of it all. This film for me has become a guilty pleasure and as other reviewers as reiterated is fun for the whole family. It's an hour and a half of fun enjoyment and you could certainly spend your time watching a lot worse movies!
