This film has quite possibly one of the most unrealistic premises on the face of the earth. Two kids lock up their parents in the basement and when other kids hear of it they too lock their parents in the same basement. Stupid. The film is rancid with clichés of the worst kind. For example the main kid is picked on unmercifully by a bully who then becomes a good friend or the neighbor who thinks of himself as the mayor interferes with the kids' plan.
The thing that bugs me the most is the kids, after kidnapping their parents, spend one count 'em one day in juvenile hall and then get off Scot free. In fact two of them get to go to Hawaii. The police in the film are as unrealistic as a car with wings.
I recommend it if you are bed-ridden and the remote is broken and you have two channels (the other one showing the history of golf). I don't recommend it for it's quality.
