Enjoyable, though somewhat sick.

Little Miss Millions has a standard, cardboard cutout plot- a girl(Jennifer L. H.) is tired of living away from her real mother, despite her step family's riches, so she runs away from home. A private detective goes on a hunt for her, and along the way, some strange events unfold. First, he assaults several security officers, grabs her in a crowded airport, and takes her across several state borders in the back of his car. They are alone for the majority of the movie, and sleep together in an abandoned house. They share a motel room together, where the 13 or 14-year old Jennifer Love Hewitt prances around in front of him wearing a skimpy bathrobe. Then he tosses her in the back of the car, wearing the bathrobe, the police chase him, he ends up killing 2 cops in a squad car in the chase, then at the end of the movie he gets off scot free, no charges pressed against him, and J.L.H. gets to be with her real mom. Everybody has warm and fuzzy feelings, especially the detective, if you catch my drift! I found this a bit perverse and sick with the innuendo, but overall, it's an entertaining film.
