What can Matt, an 11-year-old boy, do when his father is too obsessed with work to spend quality time with his family? A forgotten school project turns into sudden inspiration for Matt--if he buys his father's company, Tyler's Toys, he'll become his father's boss and can force him to spend more time at home! With a little business guidance from his teacher, some help from his friend Danny, and the promise of a major computer chip breakthrough by his sister Kelly, Matt secures $4 million from online kid investors and pulls off a hostile takeover of Tyler Toys. The fun really begins when Matt appears in front of his employees as an animated face on a computer monitor and institutes a liberal new work policy. Matt quickly discovers just how much work running a business entails and finds himself in serious trouble with the local bank and the Federal Trade Commission. Can a lot of hard work by the entire family and a little luck save Tyler's Toys? This well-produced, 99-minute video features Kevin Kilner, Alexandra Paul, Rich Little, and Dom DeLuise. The story is engaging, if strikingly reminiscent of the Tom Hanks movie Big. While aimed primarily at children ages 7 to 14, enough adult humor is sprinkled throughout to keep parents sufficiently entertained. --Tami Horiuchi
