Date Watched: Saturday, February 28, 2009
Recommendation: ★★☆☆☆
Treats Served: Chinese Food from Red Hot Szechuan and Gummy Bears from Russ & Daughters, courtesy of John Andrus.
Interruptions: 2 -- The DVD had scratches and my mom had to take it out and rub toothpaste on it. Our 18-year-old cat, Hanky, yowled the whole movie.
Summary: A man gets tricked into caring for three orphaned kids who find a huge gold nugget and then everyone in the old Western town wants to adopt them.
Review: I really wanted to see this movie because Don Knotts was in it and the other movie with Don Knots (The Incredible Mr. Limpet) was great. In the first five seconds I was already laughing. Theodore (Don Knotts) hid behind bushes from a guy riding on a horse and he took out his gun and his gun broke. After this, there weren't many funny parts. It was not a really good movie because nothing really happened.
One of the few things I liked in the movie was the sound effects. One time, one of the bad guys cracked his partner's back and it made a big cracking noise. And another time, the ladies from the town were trying to get a hold of the little girl because she found the gold nugget and there was a big ripping sound when they ripped her dress when they were pulling her.
I didn't really like this movie, but watch the trailer and decide for yourself.
Patchy's Favorite Part: The bad guy part.
