Read More Don Knotts and Tim Conway were two entertainment icons from my youth that never failed to make me laugh. This movie was a comedic murder mystery and I personally feel that they both played their parts extremely well. I would suggest this movie to anyone young or old who wants a good family entertainment type movie to enjoy after a family dinner. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

As a matter of fact, my entire family spent the majority of the movie laughing. I just love the older comedies because they are so clean and I don't have to watch it once before I let my kids watch it. I would recommend this one to anyone who needs a little laughter (or in my family's case a lot). Tim Conway and Don Knotts were meant to work together and this movie just shows it even more.

The dialogue was kept clean and usable for all family members, except maybe the youngest. The quips and jokes could only be made as funny as they were by Knotts and Conway. The movie is a reminder of the days of Abott and Costello. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I rented this movie because I remember seeing it during a field trip as a kid, and I thought...what the heck, and it was one of the movies from my childhood that I wanted to share with my daughter. After putting it in, I was so glad I got it. I was laughing my head off. I agree with a previous review; don't take it too seriously. It isn't meant to be serious. Sit back, grab your popcorn and your family, and let yourself wax stupid. You'll have a great time! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

So don't take it too seriously. Great family film and while your kids laugh you will probably find yourself lauging as well. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Don Knotts talent was likewise inhibited. It seemed as though their natural free-for-all abilities were being stifled by the director or writer. A few laughs, but overall, very disappointed in the production. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
