Patrick (Greg Evigan) and Rebecca (Emma Samms) have escaped the city and live on a farm with their two kids, Shannon (Jenna Dover) and Peter (Josh Grolman). Also habituating nearby are a bevy of animals, a duck, a goat, one fat pig and several chickens. Peter loves them and is the main caretaker. This lad also is the ornery sort, to the constant chagrin of his older sister. Naturally, a teen gal wants her privacy but Peter is always spying on her looking in the mirror, etc. One fateful day, Pete grabs her upper undergarment and uses it as a mask, which leads to a chase, resulting in a broken flower pot. Mom and Pop are not happy and ground the duo. Instead of going to town with their folks, they must stay home. This trip is ultra-important, for they need to ask the bank for another loan. Foiled! The uppity banker, Von Driessen (George Hamilton) feigns regret and turns them down. At that very moment, gold bars are also being loaded onto an armored car in front of the bank. This is a necessary money transfer and VD appears quite apprehensive. Disappointed, the two parents leave for the journey home, vowing to "think of something" while the fortified vehicle takes off. All of a sudden, the gold truck is set upon by three bumbling thieves, who do take control of the truck but drive it into a pond. Man, will their big boss be unhappy! Guess who's farm is near? That's right, the one where Peter and Shannon are home alone. The thieves need a tractor to get the truck out of the water. But, will the pesky kids PLUS their clever critters spoil their plans? Maybe! They might even score a reward for stopping a theft! This is a delightful flick for families. It has a nice cast, beautiful setting, and a armored truckload of laughs, spills, and thrills. Bet your loved ones will like Pets so get your hands on it soon.
