Double Play Movie Review 1996

Staff rating

---

Updated version of "The Prince and the Pauper" finds teenaged computer genius Rudy (Jackson) inheriting his dad's successful computer company. But his evil Uncle Mike (Shatner), who's not the boy's guardian, wants the company for himself and hires some thugs to kidnap the kid and force him to sign over control of the business. But Rudy just happens to have a double--a high school baseball star who's in town for the championship game--and confusion rules when he takes his place. Jackson's brother, Richard Lee Jackson, plays his cousin in the movie.
