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.

With films like these, it's a wonder studios still think it's a good idea to regurgitate the past. Go to Full Review

Four writers worked on the script, and they all should hang their heads in shame. Go to Full Review
Todd McCarthy Variety 05/13/2008
It's thin stuff, but the ingratiating naivete of the characters and the aw-shucks friendliness of the cast are disarming, and it becomes easy to just let this go down as a country tune with some moonshine on the side. Go to Full Review
Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 01/20/2022
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. Go to Full Review
Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 05/29/2018
It hurts to see such a gifted woman wasting her time in a relentlessly dumb movie. Go to Full Review

Melissa M @Lisey 7h It's too bad they don't give casting directors awards. The person that cast this movie definitely deserves one. Every actor in this movie is perfectly cast. This is one of the few times that the film mirrors the TV show. Just wish they made more family-friendly films like this one. Definitely one of Jim varney's best movies. See more Danny N @DannyN1993 4d This was a successful adaptation from television to film. The casting was well done. Jim Varney was an excellent choice for the role of Jed. It is a good movie, although viewers may need to keep an open mind due to the type of humor that the casting team aimed to bring from the television show to the film. See more Stephen B @RT37541820 Jul 28 I grew up watching this film on vhs and it is a childhood favorite. Jim varney portraying jedd clampett was spot on. I understand this film isn't for everyone, but give it a watch it might surprise you! See more Mike P @RT09890132 Jun 19 Garbage, just like the tv show that spawned it. Brainless hickspoiltation. (If you want redneck comedy drama see Raising Arizona). This is probably at the bottom of the movies-based-on-tv-shows list; the top being The Fugitive. See more Allison C @RT19492917 May 24 I love the Beverly Hillbilies tv show. I love the movie. I love the fact that it stuck to the story line while adding it's own humor to it. It can't be exactly like the original because it is recasted with different actors. The movie is heart warming, funny, and family friendly. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 03/29/2025 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas de até que são bacaninhas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bom e alguns ajudam a melhorar um pouco o filme, e os personagens são mais ou menos.
