This is a pretty enjoyable entry in the live action Disney canon. It's definitely a kids' movie and has a couple cheesy or slightly-too-silly moments for me, but there are also a lot of genuinely funny lines and good moments of physical comedy, and Dick Van Dyke is always a pretty charismatic protagonist. I could definitely see this one being a favorite if I'd watched it as a kid.
