Line 22:
** The bitchy party organiser who steals money from Preston without letting him get a word in.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Despite being a capitalist douchebag, Preston's father's assessment of his son turns out to be entirely correct. His son lacks an ounce of responsibility, even for a 12-year-old. Over the course of the movie his son was given a million dollars and he wasted the money away on junk food that he cannot possibly consume and a castle he cannot possibly make use of in about a week without realizing it.
* [[Line -of -Sight Name]]: Preston comes up with "Mr. Macintosh" because he has a [[Product Placement|Macintosh computer]].
* [[Mock Millionaire]]
* [[Most Writers Are Adults]]: In the opinion of Gene Siskel and [[Roger Ebert]], this is the main problem with the movie. Preston blows his fortune on stuff an adult would want, not stuff a kid would want. What kind of 12-year-old dreams of hosting black-tie parties or taking adult women out to fancy restaurants?
Line 28:
* [[Old Shame]]: Rupert Wainwright doesn't like talking much about this movie.
* [[Parent Service]]: Shay Stanley.
* [[Product Placement]]: [[Two Words Obvious Trope|Two words]]: [[Line -of -Sight Name|Mr. Macintosh]].
* [[Shotacon]]: A rare Western example with Shay Stanley.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: It's ''clear'' that Preston is this.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Preston, which is strange considering his dad is a complete [[Jerkass]].
