Blank Check (Disney) critique

Like many of you, I grew up on Blank Check the movie. Wasn't it every kid's fantasy to have buttloads of cash to spend as they pleased? I remember loving this movie and was excited to see it released on Netflix.
Now that I am in my 30's I realize how bullshite this movie is. Let's be real for a minute:
1. Kid just walks into a bank and is able to open up a checking account with a minimum of $200?
2. Kid is able to purchase a $300k home in cash money without an adult to close on the paperwork? And the realtor is just walking around town with $300k in her bag before depositing it at the bank without any security whatsoever?
3. Preston Waters comes off as a dumb brat with a sense of entitlement and unwillingness to work for what he wants. He wants it all handed to him. I remember empathizing with him when I was younger but now I was yelling at him through the tv screen to get off my lawn!
4. No red flags go off with the limo driver that he's never met this kids dad? At all?
5. A smoking hot bank teller goes on a date with a kid (even if she is just doing her job) and does a fountain dance with this lady all the while getting soaking wet? And this doesn't look odd to anyone especially given that the kid is probably paying the bill? Thank god she goes for the handshake at the end of the date and not a kiss on the head!
6. Anyone else pick up on the line early in the movie where the mom thinks the husband could use a guide on how to make love to a woman? WTF. This is disney movie for god sakes.
7. The bank manager asks him if he is juice and the kid replies "no not thirsty" and that doesn't trigger him to say "WTF?". Oh ok. I guess it's gray so I'll go ahead and give him a million dollars in cash in a highly illegal operation.
Terrible movie.

Should've been $200K but his mom fricked it up.

Say what you want about the movie, but Blank Check is the reason watermarks exist on checks. Preston made all of checking accounts safer thanks to his fraud.
Also, the chicken is in the pot.
