This is must viewing for fans of two of TV's most famous Grandma's. Ryan and Corby are fun to watch in their non-grandma parts. Rockabilly fans, however, won't find much "rock" or "billy" in Les Brown's band. They can sort of swing, but they don't come close to rockin'. Still, the music might be the movie's strongest asset for the plot is pretty weak, and in the end you know things will turn out swell for the Carter family.
The best unintentional gag through the film is Gary Vinson's character Jimmy Carter. Being that he and his sister are the new kids at school he is constantly introducing himself to the other students. "Hi, I'm Jimmy Carter."
