    Thwarted Quest for Independence

    This meandering, easygoing film feels like they might have made it up as they went along...and it's funny. Buckwheat and Porky are especially cute, even for them, and Spanky and Alfalfa are their usual skillful selves. The shopkeeper has some pretty harebrained ideas about educating children, but in spite of it he and his wife both manage to be warmly likeable.
