      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Wasting a talented cast and director Penelope Spheeris' deft comedic touch on crude hijinks, this lame adaptation digs for comedic gold and only finds dirt.

      Patrick R The Beverly Hillbillies is the Film version of Comfort Food. I know it has flaws and the plot is kind of disjointed, but I enjoy the film and it is one of my all time Guilty Pleasures. The Cast with the Late Greats: Jim Varney & Cloris Leachman (RIP), not to forgot then up and new comers Erika Eleniak and Diedrich Bader all are hilarious as the Clampett Clan, Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review steve d The show was bad, this was worse. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Mike J I love the movie movie theaters and north north of lord king Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review Audience Member I kind of love that this movie answers all of my meta needs, from reuniting Dolly Parton with Dabney Coleman and Lily Tomlin to having Buddy Ebsen show up as Barnaby Jones. And I realize that every critic wanted more out of director Penelope Spheeris. But look, I'm a simple man and I like seeing Jim Varney play Uncle Jed and do you have any clue how many hours and hours I've watched of the original show? So yeah, Erika Eleniak is no Donan Douglas, Diedrich Bader can never touch Max Baer Jr. and while I love Cloris Leachman, she's not anywhere close to Irene Ryan. But isn't it cool to get one more episode, in fact, multiple episodes? And yeah, Rob Schenider and Lea Thompson are just alright bad guys, but this is a movie silly enough to have Zsa Zsa Gabor show up as herself and not smart enough for Jed to say, "That's that Oliver Douglas feller's sister's wife." Seriously, grade school Sam watched Leave It to Beaver, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and The Beverly Hillbillies every single day for hours. If anybody wants to reboot any of those shows, please reach out to me. I'm ready to share my wasted life with the world. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Tiago S Um clássico da Sessão da Tarde e percebo que faz um tempo que filmes como esse não passam por lá, nos anos 2000 esse era um dos que repetia quase todo mês e eu amava, assistia por ser divertido e ter uma temática inteligente, com personagens marcantes sem exceção. Mesmo não sabendo como outras pessoas se comportavam na cidade, eles tentam incorporar atitude de outros a eles, tem a cena clássica de eles mostrando para todos o dedo do meio, achando que isso seria um cumprimento, simplesmente hilário! Muitas candidatas queriam conquistar o mais bilionário do momento, e eis que aparece uma 'Goal Digger' para tentar ficar com sua grana e dar o golpe, o que não deu muito certo. No geral, o filme mostra como é a mudança para a cidade de quem estava acostumado a vida rural, e nisso é claro teria um choque de culturas, mesmo fazendo de tudo para se adequar ao comportamento que é vivenciado nas cidades, tudo foi em vão, já que pra eles se adequar a cidade seria uma tarefa difícil, diria quase impossível, sendo que eles continuaram os mesmos, divertidos e sem vergonha nenhuma HaHa, é um filme excelente para rever, totalmente viciante. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/22 Full Review robert p Just could not watch... a desperate attempt to re-do the better TV Series... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Jonathan Shade Empire Magazine With films like these, it's a wonder studios still think it's a good idea to regurgitate the past. Rated: 1/5 May 13, 2008 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Four writers worked on the script, and they all should hang their heads in shame. May 13, 2008 Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) On The Beverly Hillbillies, what do I need to say? You know this redneck fable. There's more right than wrong here in Spheeris's take. Jan 20, 2022 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant It hurts to see such a gifted woman wasting her time in a relentlessly dumb movie. May 29, 2018 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Unnecessary '90s remake has iffy humor, stereotypes. Rated: 1/5 Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
