 The Kettles go back to the farm for some quick fixin' up. April 13, 2003
James McDonald (Lancaster, California)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The Indians try to make a fire in the Kettles fireplace the old fashion way, the smoke signal way. Judges are a comin' to award a child with a scholarship. However, who ever has the nicest looking farm and raises their kids in a good enviroment has a chance of winning. So the Kettles move back to the old farm (where they lived in their first film appearance THE EGG AND I [1947]) to fix it up. Funniest bit: Ma tries on a corset. Another funny bit: The town Indians had to read a book on "Indian Costumes" on how to dress (or be undressed) like their forefathers and learn to put on war mark make-up. Mary Wickes has a role as "Miss Wetter". The Kettles also have Christmas on the farm. The next film in the series is MA AND PA KETTLE AT WAIKIKI (1955).
 The Funniest One! January 13, 2002

Even though these movies seem so ancient compared to todays version of comedy, this movie is so funny! I think its probably the funniest kettle movie! In this one the kettles try transform their not-so-dream farm into a dream farm useing things to rebuild their barns and buildings that well, just dont hold up! Very Funny!
One of the top Kettle comedies December 7, 1999
Scott MacGillivray (Massachusetts, USA)
The Kettles' college-student son has described his folks' ramshackle farm as the last word in modern technology. Now Ma and Pa have to prove it, in one of the best Kettle comedies. (One memorable scene has Percy Kilbride playing a charming Santa Claus for his kids.) Check your intellect at the door for some simple, folksy fun. Picture and sound are excellent.
