Critic Reviews for 40 Pounds of Trouble

The trouble with 40 Pounds of Trouble is that it is just too hackneyed and dull.

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.
