 The last Kettle film, and a new Pa... July 1, 2000
Robert Pratte (charleston, il USA)
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is the last of 10 films featuring the Kettle clan, perhaps there should have been 9. The second film without Percy Kilbride, this one introduces Parker Fennelly as the replacement Pa. While he does well in this role, after 8 Kilbride films, casting another actor in his role was a bad idea. Also, the film lacks the touch of Charles Lamont as director, who helped create the truly classic Kettle films. This film is interesting as the final Kettle film, the only one with Pa played by someone other than Percy Kilbride, and Marjorie Main's last film. The story is mildly entertaining, but suffers from simplicity, and a reliance upon the comedic legacy of previous Kettle films.
One classic and one desperate last gasp September 9, 2000

Ma & Pa Kettle was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and Saturday afternoon TV wasn't ALL sport. Just seeing them in their 'ultra-modern' new home brings back great memories. Pa Kettle is great as the man who wants to do nothing married to the hardest working housewife in the world with too many kids to count. As with all of these movie series from the 40's and 50's this starts on a high and gradually slides downhill, losing the stars as it goes on (so nothing has changed there). The first couple of movies can be watched over and over, but I think the last one could probably be filed after one viewing.
 MA KICKS PA TO THE CURB April 1, 2003

EVEN THOUGH PA IS NOT PERCY I FIGURED IT WOULD STILL BE NICE TO SEE THE GOOD OLD FUNNY FAMILY THAT LOVES EACHOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY ANYHOW. IT RUBBED ME WRONG TO SEE OLD MA GIVE PA THE BOOT. IT WASN'T IN THE NORM FOR THE WELL KNOWN AND LOVED MA ND PA MOVIES. I THINK IT HAD FUNNY PARTS IN IT, BUT ITS A GOOD 45 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE BEFORE IT GETS FUNNY. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THERE BEST ONES IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH.
