This was one of my favorite movies as a child. My mother was a Lewis fan, and often watched this with me, the pair of us in fits of giggles.
The film centres around Lewis who is taking care of the three children of his childhood sweetheart Carla, much to the frustration of Carla's younger sister Sandy, for reasons that become immediately apparent.
Lewis stars as Clayton Poole; a likable loser, and he is as goofy as always. Connie Stevens as Sandy is sweet, and manages to keep up with the crazy antics of Lewis. The film is full of lovable odd-balls and side characters who almost steal the show. But for me the best part of the film was always Sandy's dear drunken papa played by the wonderfully endearing Salvatore Baccaloni.
This is a great film to watch with your children. They'll get a good laugh from the slapstick, and you'll feel like a kid again by the end of this feel good oldie.
A warning: Some of the hum our is quite dated, and there is a racially insensitive scene that might offend some, but it should be taken into consideration the year this film was produced, and the comedic climate of the time.
I highly recommend it to those of you who are yet to have the pleasure. It may not appeal to all tastes, but it's absolutely worth the rental.
