critics consensus

Troop Beverly Hills is hamstrung by a one-joke premise, leaving this Shelley Long comedy woefully short on laughs. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

With her marriage breaking up, Beverly Hills housewife Phyllis Nefler (Shelley Long) boosts her self-esteem by leading a local troop of Wilderness Girls. Although Phyllis' version of roughing it is spending the night at the Beverly Hills Hotel, that suits her privileged troop members just fine. Unfortunately, when Phyllis falls afoul of a rival leader, the girls are threatened with having their group dissolved -- unless they can prove their wilderness skills at the annual jamboree.

    When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!

    It is what you would expect. Probably not something you will enjoy unless you watched as a kid.

    Wow. This is not the best movie but it's such a fun silly movie. I love the rivalry between Mrs. Nefler and and Velda.

    Shelley Long was once tolerable on 'Cheers' because there were a lot of funny characters around to help her (and because of of the whole being replaced by Kirstie Alley thing); well, she certainly doesn't have that luck in here. Long, like the movie she is in, is very annoying.
