Audience Member This was a good reunion "Mayberry" show. Good to see everyone back, including Ron Howard, Don Knotts, and Andy Griffith. I liked the "monster" storyline, but the real value is just seeing the original cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Audience Member At least it remains as a better reunion flick than a number of contemporary revivals with the frequent return of recycling few episodes into one feature that could've gone for the best or further expanded the original portion of the plot. Although just like the old days when the series was being cherished by families, it's still character-driven by delightful returns and building up a meaningful message with multiple applied contexts. (B+) (Full review TBD) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Mathias B It was a funny but not hilarious movie, but had a boring plot and no real drama. It wanted to be as good as the original show, but failed Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/18 Full Review Audience Member I quite enjoy seeing all of the old characters once again, however, the utterly poor writing and shoved in cameos makes it fall short of the original show. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Love Andy and Barney Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I would have to say , pretty good movie all in all . The characters are all the same . The TV Series was much better than the movie . But overall , a 3-4 star movie . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
