Like too many '70s Disney flicks this mostly looks like an overlong TV sitcom but there are a few laughs and a pleasant cast, including two "M*A*S*H" regulars who never actually met on the TV show. I wonder if the makers of _E.T._ ever saw this?

I remember seeing this when i was 6 or 7 and not being all that impressed. I have caught bits and pieces of it since then but will probably have to rewatch it to see exactly how low to score it.

Bizarrely enough it's not outright terrible. Non of the jokes are ever really funny but they're rarely downright terrible at the same time. I can easily see kids being entertained by this movie. But if you're hoping for a Pixar quality family film where every age group is equally entertained this certainly won't fill the bill.

I really wanted to like this but nothing about the film says that Disney gave a crap about actually making it.

I'm sure this isn't that good but I have fond memories of watching it when I was a child.

Definitely a kids movie. The concept itself is ridiculous enough to put off anyone who expects anything truly deep and developed. However on that level, it's actually not bad.

It was entertaining when I was little, but after a rewatch it has become apparent that the production values were set pretty darn low when this was made. Still, it does a decent job of the little investment put into it and provides a decent viewing for kids, but is way too cheesy for anyone else. The fact they tried to use a real cat adds to it a little, but the camp style and some bland moments dull everything down a little. Still as I've mentioned previously, it's good for small kids.

One of my favorite movies to rent when I was a kid. Hands sown, a great movie for young children.
