There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I have always enjoyed the original Beverly Hillbillies television series and have watched all of the episodes multiple times over the years. So, I had to watch this movie, no matter who was in it and regardless of how good or bad it was.Honestly, I did not expect much. I fully expected a contrived sub- par plot with actors playing roles that they barely understood. But, what I got in this movie was a pleasant surprise. It was brilliantly cast and remained true to both the premise and the spirit of the original. And, that is the best anyone can expect to do when making a movie continuation of an iconic television series. No, this is not an opportunity to "improve" upon the original - this is an opportunity to give a salute to the original. And, that is what this movie does.Dabney Coleman plays an admirable Milburn Drysdale. Cloris Leachman plays a wonderful Granny. Lilly Tomlin had Jane Hathaway down pat. And, Jim Varney shines as Jed Clampett, as though he were destined to play the role. Diedrich Bader and Erica Eleniak reprised the roles of Jethro/Jethrine and Elly May convincingly well.True fans will recognize story elements from several of the original episodes, evoking fond memories and making one long to watch the series all over, again.One regret I have about this film is that the death of Jim Varney precluded a sequel - no one could have matched his performance as Jed Clampett, except Buddy Ebsen. They had seven years in which they could have done a sequel and they missed their opportunity. That is a sad shame. I would have loved to have seen this cast in another Beverly Hillbillies movie.Watch for fun or just nostalgia. True fans of the original show will be glad they did.

It's become a cliché that modern adaptations of classic TV shows are among the worst movies of all. "The Flintstones" was simply a BAD movie in every way! While there have been a few bright spots ("The Addams Family" and "Charlie's Angels") pretty much everything else has been execrable.This modern adaptation of the Clampett brood has some funny stuff but mostly isn't worth the time. One could make the argument that "The Beverly Hillbillies" is half-homage, half-parody. Even so, this was a letdown for Penelope Spheeris after "Wayne's World". It was interesting to see Jim Varney in a non-Ernest role, though.Also starring Cloris Leachman, Erika Eleniak (the girl kissed by Elliott in "ET"), Lily Tomlin, Dabney Coleman and Rob Schneider.

This film based on successful TV series by Paul Henning. It begins when mountaineer Jed accidentally discovers a surprise in his property because he has struck oil during a shooting, gotten million of dollars, and turning instantly billionaire . Then he packs his backwoods family and heads to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California.They change into a lush mansion , but still live like Hillbillies because they still dress tattered ragged suits and rustics costumes .The hillbillies clan are Jed(Jim Varney in the role of Buddy Ebsen), a good-hearted and kind father looking new spouse, his daughter Elly May(Erika Elinak, role of Donna Douglas),an extraordinary gorgeous but incredibly ingenious and pursued by a suitor(Kevin Connolly), the Granny(Cloris Leachman), a senile, paranoid and obstinate old woman and Jethro(Dietrich Vader, role of Max Baer) , he's idiot though strong, he's actually only acting like an authentic stupid and doesn't even realize it. Besides, the ambitious banker(Dabney Coleman) and his botcher helper(Lily Tomlin) who will make anything of keep the Camplett family money in his bank. Meanwhile, they are duped by a mean pair(Lea Thompson and Rob Schneider).Everyone casting does rightly their impersonations from television characters with special mention of Jim Varney as the sensible and good father looking for wife and particularly, Dietrich as a double role as the dumb Jethro and his sister, furthermore a likable Granny, well incarnated by Cloris Leachman. Appear special cameos, Zsa Zsa Gabor as a delinquent, Dolly Parton singing country music and Buddy Ebsen, the original Jed , reprises another of his television acting, Barnaby Jones.The film contains a stunning music score with ballads by Scoggins like the original series, songs by Dolly Parton and Hank Williams and soundtrack by Lalo Schifrin. The motion picture is regularly directed by Penelope Scpheeris. Rating: Average but amusing. The film will like to nostalgics and hardcore series fans.

I would say Jim Varney (Jed Clampet) Cloris Leachmen (Granny), Erika Eleniak (Elly may Clampet) Diedrich Bader (Jethro Bodine) Lily Tomlin (Miss Jane Hathaway), and Dabney Colmen (Milburn Drysdale)did a great job. I have seen this on ABC family in April I like that movie. His bloodhound is sometimes lazy but he was hunting a jack rabbit Jim Varney is similar to Buddy Ebsen. DOlly Parton did very well with this song called If you Ain't got love. Jim Varney did very well in the Hot Rod Lincon. It's actually different then the TV series. In the Beverly hillbillies movie it was terrible that Larua Jackson wants to steal Jed Clampets money. My favorite part when the orangutan spanks Larua Jackson's butt. One part must of been a problem with getting hitched. Jethro Bodine was hysterical.
