Not until the movie Airplane was Leslie Nielsen looked upon as a comedic actor. However, that movie forever changed the public's perception of him, myself included. His performance in this film was no exception and I loved him in it. Apparently, not all reviewers felt the same and that's a shame.
This is the ultimate family movie with sweet and authentic performances by all, even the Great Dane. The three young performers who portrayed the two brothers and their younger sister each had a unique personality that was clearly defined in the short span of the movie and you could see why the two parental "renters" fell for them during their 10-day trial rental period. This hilarious concept was dreamed up by Nielsen as he "held down the fort" while his son (the Children's Home's Director) took a much-needed vacation; a priceless performance especially when he was interviewing the prospective "renters."
I guarantee you will enjoy this movie with your family and children of any age. It deserves a higher IMDB rating.
