Ray, an ex-con and widower, is planning a coin heist with two accomplices to help him to buy his own bakery.
However, he doesn't expect his son Timmy, who was living with Ray's sister, to show up at the house right in the middle of planning.
Timmy is ignored and Ray and his buddies pull off the heist. Timmy gets his father's attention by stealing the coins and hiding them.
To get them back, his father must take him to a number of different places and treat him like he enjoys his presence.
They grow fond of each other but Timmy won't stay with his dad unless he gives up the coins....
Culkin was getting older, so the cute thing he did in his earlier stuff was now becoming annoying, hence the reason why this bombed big time.
And the fact that the film was overlong and just not very funny..
But thats not to say that it isn't watchable. Danson is great as Ray, even though you'd expect him to be in a Stallone comedy with that accent. And he does have great chemistry with the cast and especially Culkin toward the end.
But it's all predictable stuff, as there are hi-jinks and pratfalls from the two bumbling sidekicks who are just interested in the coins, and these become tiresome straight away.
It's one of those movies you can have on in the background and not really watch, but you can still follow the story pretty easy.
Too long for kids, way too long for adults.
