About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly, kid-focused money fantasy with light peril and big purchases, similar to First Kid or Big Fat Liar; Not for you if creepy moments, mean-spirited adults, or unrealistic plotting will bother you.
Pros: kid-wish-fulfillment fun; some slapstick chases; nostalgic 90s vibe | Cons: thin story logic; uneven humor; uncomfortable adult-kid flirting
