Short description
Bullied by his siblings and nagged by his parents, 11-year-old Preston Waters is fed up with his family — especially their frugality. But he gets his chance to teach them a lesson when a money-laundering criminal nearly bulldozes Preston with his car and compensates the boy with a blank check. Preston makes the check out for $1 million and goes on a spending spree he'll never forget.
What's left behind the scenes
- Russian-speaking viewers may find it unclear why the bank director so easily gave a large sum of money to 11-year-old Preston. The bank director was waiting for a courier named Juice to deliver him $1 million. When a boy comes to the director and hands him a check, thinking this is the courier, he asks him, “Juice?” (i.e., “are you Juice?”). However, the fact is that in English, the word “juice” means “juice” (as in fruit juice), and Preston, thinking he is being offered a drink, replies, “No, thank you, I don’t want to drink,” and the director, interpreting this answer as affirmative, gives the boy the money. Thus, a play on words with homonyms occurred.
