Good again.
Like the first film, <em>'The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again'</em> manages to suitably entertain. I still don't think Theodore (Don Knotts) and Amos (Tim Conway) are majorly funny, but it is enjoyable to see their shenanigans - especially amid well-known crooks.
Those two are about the same as they are in the 1975 original, but the side story in this isn't interesting at all - the love stuff with Jeff (Tim Matheson) and Milly (Elyssa Davalos) is very forced. Harry Morgan, playing a different character than in the other, isn't as good this time. All the villains, though not amazing, are all very solid in what they give.
<em>'The Apple Dumpling Gang'</em> is the better of the two, but both are just about entertaining to watch thanks to Knotts and Conway.
