Having appeared as supporting characters in "The Egg and I", Ma and Pa Kettle (and their children) got to be the stars of a movie. Charles Lamont's "Ma and Pa Kettle" features the rural brood moving into a prefab home and trying to adjust to the modern lifestyle. The movie reminded me of the Daffy Duck-Elmer Fudd cartoon "Design for Leaving", wherein Daffy turns Elmer's house into a push-button home, with Elmer suffering repeated mishaps.
Admittedly, the movie isn't anything profound, but it doesn't pretend to be. Ma is her usual sharp-tongued self, Pa is his usual lazy self, the kids appear to be trained in guerrilla warfare, and Tom is the forward-thinking member of the family. As for Kim, well...what a babe!
You'll probably have fun watching the movie.
