Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net The story is silly and your enjoyment will probably depend on your taste of slapstick but it makes me laugh. Rated: B- May 4, 2019 Full Review Carrie R.

Audience Member This is honestly a ridiculously silly movie that is still funny now. It does a great job of creating characters that enhance the plot to the very end. I grew up watching this movie when I was a kid and I think it's even funnier 30 yes later. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Kathleen C A great cast and some really funny moments make this one of my favorite Disney live-action films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/21 Full Review r 9 What a pleasant surprise. Given it has one of the least exciting titles out there and, on Prime Video anyway, a poor cover (the actual cover is neat, tbf) I wasn't expecting much from 'The North Avenue Irregulars'. However, I'm pleased to say I had a fun time watching it. First things first: The plot. It's manic and rather bonkers, but they execute it nicely. I found the humour suitably amusing, while the main characters are all likeable. The run time perhaps overruns by 5-10mins, though that's nothing serious. The ending is mad, in a positive way. The cast are good. Barbara Harris, who is terrific in 1976's 'Freaky Friday', stars alongside a whole host of other women - something I only state as it's unusual for this era of Disney. Those alongside Harris include Cloris Leachman, Virginia Capers, Susan Clark, Karen Valentine and Patsy Kelly. Elsewhere, Edward Herrmann and Michael Constantine do fine jobs. A fun, shenanigan-filled film from 1979. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The North Avenue Irregulars is proof that you don't need sex and four-letter words to make a funny movie. These church ladies are all we have to work with, but oh do they pull it off, and then some. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Very fun family movie. Seen it several times in the theater in 1979 and now have it on dvd. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review s r TImeless classic. Amen.
