A guilty pleasure...., 18 August 2002
9/10
Author: smgelscheit from Northern Michigan

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I enjoy it just as much now. I'm not sure why...I can't stand Don Knotts and it is pretty silly...maybe the idea of adventure snatching you out of your everyday existence.
