A lot of fun

"Ma and Pa Kettle at Waikiki" is a fun movie. It's a solid entry in the series. There are quite a few laughs and a ton of goodwill. As usual, Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride deliver the goods. The both get a lot of laughs. The supporting cast is good too. At 79 minutes "Ma and Pa Kettle at Waikiki" doesn't come close to wearing out its welcome. I enjoyed this installment and I plan on watching it again real soon.
