History Fridge / BlankCheck

*** Additionally, it’s perfectly legal to write whatever you want, in terms payee and amount, on a blank check, and as long as there’s money in the account to cover it, everything’s good. There are actually some limited instances where making out a blank check is a reasonable thing to do, but otherwise, this movie shows why it’s generally a stupid thing to do.

*** Maybe they assumed that Mr Macintosh has a vocal disability and uses a machine to speak for him?

* Why would the brothers start a computer startup despite not knowing how to use them? And their [[ParentalFavoritism father prefers them to Preston]] to the point of letting them take over his room? In fact, why the hell does he berate Preston for not starting his own business even though he's (in the immortal words of the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic) like ''seven'', i.e. clearly too early to do so anyway?! Other than him being a {{Jerkass}}.

*** Aside from the dubiousness of putting his own values on the check, possible forgery concerning the house, and not getting adults involved sooner, he didn't actually commit any crimes. He got the money legitimately from a legitimate source he had no way of knowing was crooked, and spent it on legitimate items. As for the agent, she thought she was a sweet kid and decided to leave him hoping rather than crush his crush. Finally, it's a 12 year old boy [[{{MST3KMantra}} wish fulfillment movie]].
