Comments:

So, this is a movie for pre-teens and young teens. Totally not feasible, but good for a laugh. The story has a strong moral to it, lieing gets you into trouble. But, at the end, the boy doesn't get into trouble for leaving home without permission, breaking and entering, stealing and pulling many, many mean pranks. So, I wouldn't suggest getting your sense of right and wrong from this movie. But, it is really funny (if corney). So, if you're looking for a light hearted comedy, this would be for you.
