Overall, Leonard Stern's breezy "Just You and Me, Kid" is a funny movie. It doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not, it just goes all in for the humor without insulting the viewer's intelligence.
However, there's a questionable scene or two. Brooke Shields's character appears naked in a couple of scenes, even in scenes with George Burns's character. It should go without saying that it's cringe-inducing for an underage girl to appear nude while co-starring with a fully clothed elderly man. Would they put a naked teenage boy onscreen with a fully clad elderly woman?
Okay, so that's a side note. Otherwise, it's an enjoyable movie. It keeps the comedy coming with Burns's perfect style and timing. Also starring are Burl Ives, Lorraine Gary (Mrs. Brody in "Jaws"), Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz"), Keye Luke (Charlie Chan's #1 son and also the shop owner in "Gremlins") and Carl Ballantine.
A fun time all around, despite that one unpleasant scene.
