Blank Check may have been an excellent movie for kids, but ends up being uninspired in every way. The movie begins with a criminal named Quigley and he is a robber who goes to a secret hiding place to get his million dollars.

Overall, BLANK CHECK is an enjoyable film with a bare minimum of objectionable material. There are actually several worthwhile elements in the film: money doesn’t buy happiness; one’s family is more precious than possessions; and, a fool and his money are soon parted.
Feb 11, 1994 · Blank Check, which was written by Blake Snyder and Colby Carr, directed by Rupert Wainwright and filmed with grace and style by cinematographer Bill Pope, is definitely a guilty pleasure, but more the latter than the former.
Bullied by his siblings and nagged by his parents, 11-year-old Preston 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 gives the boy a blank check as compensation.
