Audience Reviews for 40 Pounds of Trouble

  • Feb 18, 2019
    With a solid cast of recognizable character actors, this Little Miss Marker do-over putters along well enough with moving the story from Broadway to the West Coast. A little girl lost melts the heart of a hard guy. Beyond the story though, and just as interesting, there's a look at the United States before the Kennedy assassination, as well as a Keystone Cops chase romp through Disneyland. Fluff, maybe, but its okay.
