    I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. I liked it then but not sure if I would now. It was funny from what I remember.

    Don Knotts and Tim Conway always make a good comedic team, and this movie definitely has its funny parts. But I wouldn't recommend watching it without your finger on the fast-forward button--it does have some off-color humor.

    Absolutely one of the funniest movies ever! Tim Conway and Don Knotts in their classic style will have you rolling!

    Stunning gothic scenery can't quite save this murder mystery/comedy, starring Don Knotts and Tim Conway. Cut from the same cloth as "Clue," "The Private Eyes" is fun but utterly forgettable, and not nearly as funny as it seems to think it is. It was a favorite of mine as a child -- kindof like a live-action "Scooby Doo" adventure, without the talking dog -- but it hasn't aged as well as I hoped. It's fun to see big empty houses, spooky secret passages, and the unraveling of a double murder in a lighthearted manner, but it pales next to "Clue," a movie that clearly ripped it off and beat it at its own game.
