Jed Clampett and kin move from Arkansas to Beverly Hills when he becomes a billionaire, after an oil strike. The country folk are very naive with regard to life in the big city, so when Jed starts a search for a new wife there are inevitably plenty of takers and con artists ready to make a fast buck

The Beverly Hillbillies Audience Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Wuchak Released in 1993, "The Beverly Hillbillies" is a cinematic version of the hit TV series that ran for a decade from 1962-1971. The story details the family of hillbillies from the Ozarks striking it rich and moving to Beverly Hills where they're strangers in a strange land.I've never really watched the TV series, although I've of course seen clips here and there. Unlike 1994's "The Flintstones" and 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie" and their sequels, "The Beverly Hillbillies" isn't nearly as effective, not even close. The cast is good and there are amusing moments, but once the family moves to Southern California the story is uninvolving and you find yourself biding time waiting for the next gag. Sometimes it's downright bad, but there's enough good to glean for a mildly fun time. Lily Tomlin, Erika Eleniak, Lea Thompson and Leann Hunley are enjoyable.The film runs 92 minutes and was shot in Beverly Hills, Pasadena and Los Angeles, CA.GRADE: C (a very weak "C")
jvfunn1 After watching The Beverly Hillbillies Movie and being a big fan of Jim Varney I fell completely in love with this movie! One of my favorites! In the movie Jed Clampett(Jim Varney) becomes a millionaire and moves his family, daughter Ellie May(Erika Eleniak) mother-in-law Granny(Cloris Leachman) and nephew Jethro to Beverly Hills and he's looking to get hitched and falls in lobe with this woman(Lea Thompson) hoping that she'd be perfect to raise his daughter not knowing that she and her partner(Rob Schneider) in of his great character roles are planning to steal his money! Filled with hilarious scenes including the scene where the guy in the jeep say Hey! Nick wheels Buddy! and flicks the Clampetts off and Jed asks Jethro why do you suppose that fellers pointing at us? And Jethro answers Reckon that's how they say howdy in Californie! And then later they do it to Mr. Drysdale(Dabney Coleman) not knowing who he is! That was really hilarious! I just jumped out of my seat laughing! I also liked the scene when Dolly Parton shows up to sing Jed Happy Birthday and Jed(Jim Varmey) smiles with delight! It was just wonderful! Filled with hilarious scenes, bloopers, great story, and wonderful actors and actresses Beverly Hillbillies is one of the greatest movies ever! I will always Charisse the memories of one of the greatest actors in this movie Jim Varney! God bless you Jim Varney 1949-2000! 10 out of 10!
gcd70 Oh no, not again! Yes it's yet another classic t.v. favourite forcing itself upon us on the big screen. This time it's the good ole"Beverly Hillbillies" who have made what I call without hesitation the 'dreaded transition'.The new cast, led by Jim Varney (Jed), Diedrich Bader (Jethro), Erica Eleniak (Elly May) and Cloris Leachman (Granny), with support from Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, Lea Thompson and Rob Schneider, all manage to resurrect the familiar faces of the Clampett clan, but apart from that they do little.And as for the plot, which is damn near awful, it seems to have borrowed rather form "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values", with its story of deceitful persons attempting to get their hands on the Clampett fortune. All amounts to an incredibly corny, unfunny show that's as flat as a pancake. (How does it take four writers to come up with this drivel? Perhaps less is more?). Funniest moment occurs during the closing credits which feature some of the film's bloopers. Guest starred Dolly Parton, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Buddy Ebsen.Saturday, October 19, 1996 - T.V.

Moynahan, Mike Norris....Director Penelope Spheeris, Screenplay Paul Henning, Lawrence Konner, Mark Rosenthal, Jim Staahl, Jim Fisher.Released in 1993 from Director Penelope Spheeris, a female director at a time when there weren't many of them, this was the Beverly Hillbillies movie, based upon the classic 60's comedy. Because more than one writer worked on the script, and because the cast was a pretty talented group of comic actors - Jim Varney (He was the "Hey, Vern!" guy, Ernest in various comedy films in the 80's) Diedrich Bader (he would be a regular on Drew Carey), Cloris Leachman needs no introduction and neither does Lily Tomlin. Plus, there are cameos by Dolly Parton, Buddy Ebsen, the original Jed Clampett and Zsa Zsa Gabor. The premise is the same, except this time the setting is in the early 90's. Jed Clampett (Varney) discovers oil in his Arkansas mountain home and becomes a millionaire over night. He moves his family - daughter Ellie May (Erika Eleniak), cousin Jethro (Diedrich Bader) and his elderly grandmother (Cloris Leachman) to Beverly Hills, at a time when it was still hip and elitist, the zip code to billionaires. The Clampetts put their money in the bank of Milburn Drysdale (Dabney Coleman) who becomes their financial planner. Jane Hathaway (Tomlin) becomes their accountant. But another couple - Laura and Woodrow (Leah Thompson and Rob Schneider)have set their sights on taking the Clampett fortune. Laura poses as a French teacher to Ellie May and wins Jed's heart, making him propose marriage. With one click of a computer, she can get his money to her Swiss bank account. Will the Clampetts end up on top ? This movie is entertaining and one of those comedies that require good acting and plot and it's not just visual jokes or tawdry jokes. Few comedies are made like this nowadays but still, Beverly Hillbillies was one of the many good comedy films of the early 90's which saw films like "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" "Encino Man" and the Ace Ventura Pet Detective films. The film does not contain adult content and the language is not offensive, so it's entertaining for the whole family, but it got a PG-13 rating because some of the jokes go over the heads of smaller children who wouldn't understand.
