About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wholesome, goofy family caper with light suspense and a scene-stealing pet, in the same cozy spirit as The Love Bug or The Absent Minded Professor; Not for you if you dislike dated humor or silly plots.
Pros: big laughs; suspenseful family mystery; adorable cat star | Cons: runs a bit long; villains underused; dated, corny moments
