Reviews for The Beverly Hillbillies
This big-screen expansion boasts one of the richest comic ensembles in recent memory, working well under Penelope Spheeris... About all that's missing is a point.
05/13/08
Unbearable.
09/07/05
The Beverly Hillbillies is stupid to the max.
01/01/00
An endearing revival for TV's favourite hicks.
05/13/08
It's fitting that The Beverly Hillbillies is based on a popular sitcom, given that the film feels perfectly suited to the small screen.

Like the old show, the movie glides by quickly and pleasantly. If it's nothing fancy, it's mighty sweet.

Perhaps the clearest evidence of the dearth of original ideas in Hollywood is the constant need to regurgitate old, worn-out television series.

Four writers worked on the script, and they all should hang their heads in shame.

Top CriticWith films like these, it's a wonder studios still think it's a good idea to regurgitate the past.
05/13/08
Was this really necessary?
02/16/03
Don't get me wrong. This is not cerebral humor. It's just that there were a lot of different paths this movie spin-off could have taken and the low road is not one of them.

Tomlin finds the humor and the heart in these hillbillies. The rest is just crude oil.
