You should care because it makes the movie twenty times more hilarious. Every time Kevin sets a trap, you realize he is defending a $2 million asset with a BB gun.
It puts the scale of the movie into perspective. The Wet Bandits weren’t just petty thieves. They were trying to rob a small castle. They were ambitious, you have to give them that.
Finally, it gives you a fun fact for your next holiday dinner. Instead of arguing about politics, you can say, “Hey, did you know Kevin’s house is worth more than my entire college education?” Everyone will laugh. And then they’ll ask for the mashed potatoes.
So, is it worth the $2 million? If you have the cash, go for it. Just hide the ornaments. And keep the furnace running. You’ll be glad you did.
