  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Richie Rich (Culkin) has everything his wealthy family can buy

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits slightly soft and somewhat dated images. Details are adequate, but nothing to rave about. The color scheme is nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and generally deep blacks. There is some dirt detected in the source element. Pixelization is noticed at times, and higher contrast scenes are revealing of edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)
