Typical Disney movie from the 70's. Same kind of predictable story, bad acting and poor everything else. Lots of ooohhhh and aaahhhh when we get to see the cute little children but you quickly go the yawning and the watch checking.
To see Bill Bixby's character go around the town to find a family for the three kids that he accepted to look after for a while, you wish that he would have found somebody to take care of them. The story would have been finish and we would have saved about 75 minutes of our time. But even if he's better then a salesmen selling candles or vacuums from door to door, he's stuck with the kids anyhow. Too bad for us!
From there, the story is so predictable that at the end, you'll ask yourself where you got the courage to sat through the entire movie.
Of course, when criticizing a movie, you try to be as impartial as possible. But I don't think I would have like this movie even when it came out in 1975. Maybe if I would have been 5 years old at the time and even then.
Don Knotts and Tim Conway's characters (Theodore & Amos) are not funny at all. In fact, Knotts and Conway gave two abysmal performances in this one. The scene with the ladder is not funny and way too long.
Skip this one, by all mean.
I gave it 59 out of 100. That's * out of a four stars rating system.
