Movie Review: ***^The Apple Dumpling Gang

This is a Disney movie that was on KBYU.  It features the slap stick comedy of Don Knotts and Tim Conway as Theodore and Amos.  They play a couple of washed out outlaws.  They are the redeeming quality of this show.  It is hilarious when Amos lights his companion's rear end on fire.  He then has used his last match, and lights his cigarette on the smoldering behind.  And the bit with the firetruck ladder is just as funny.
On the other hand, this movie is about three orphans, and the couple who adopt them.  I found much of this syrupy and over done.  The younger sister kept having to go potty, and that wasn't humorous, especially not the upteenth time.  There was a ride in a mining cart which just wasn't believable. 
The movie did have some real outlaws, the Stillwell gang, with Frank Stillwell played by Slim Pickens.  Amos and Theodore were part of the gang until Amos accidentally shot Stillwell in the leg.  It is funny when they meet again.
If you like Knotts and Conway, this movie is fun.  If you don't you had best skip it.
