an excellant film
The Beverly Hillbillies with Jim Varney is excellant. Just like most of his films. I am pleased to have it in my film collection. It is sad however the Mr. Varney is no longer with us. He is one of my favorite comedians. The film is very funny and enjoyable and I will always get enjoyment from watching it.

Huge Disappointment
This movie made a mockery out of the TV series and undermined the original characters. The characters in the TV series were backwoods and nieve, however very loveable, funny, and a pleasure to watch. The characters in the movie cannot be connected to the TV series in any way. The real Jed Clampett would not have been taken in by some floozy bimbo to the point that Miss Jane had to save his fortune. There's no way the real Granny would have been kidnapped and held in a rest home against her will. Jethro was so silly until he wasn't funny at all and Ellie Mae didn't have her critters that she loved so much in the TV series. The real Mr. Drysdale guarded the Clampett's forturne with his life and wouldn't let anyone come near it. This movie was a huge disappointment. Save your money and watch the reruns.

LUUUUUUUUUUUVED IT!
I disagree w/ other commenters that this movie had "dirty parts". OK, it wasn't Pollyanna; there were a few PG13 moments, but nothing to make you send the kids outta the room. They had to add a LITTLE spice, GEEZ!! It was made in 1993-far past the age of innocence! Anyhoo, the characters-
JIM VARNEY as JED-SHOCKINGLY WELL DONE, and VERY ENDEARING! I really wish he hadn't died, there's no telling what else he could have done.
CLORIS LEACHMAN as GRANNY-OH MY LORD, how is it possible to put into words WHAT A GREAT JOB SHE DID! The word HILARIOUS just doesn't cut it! Dare I say, SHE WAS A BETTER GRANNY THAT THE ORIGINAL, IRENE RYAN? THERE, I SAID IT! Whew, what a relief! I mean it too!
DEIDRICH BADER as JETHRO-VERY FUNNY! DIFFERENT than Max Baer, for sure, but still VERY FUNNY! Those big horse teeth really added to the redneck effect. I really loved the part when he & his mom Pearl were flying down the road, and she asked him didn't he order the new brakes yet, and he said "sure I did Maw, they're coming in next week"! He was funny as Jethrine too, although maybe just a little too pretty (?) (best movie line:"C'MON CITY BOY, LET'S DANCE!" I LOVE THAT!)
ERICA ELENIAK as ELLIE MAE-did a good job, pretty true to the character, although I couldn't get over how bushy her eyebrows were, but I guess that added to the hillbilly effect. She is a VERY pretty lady.
LILLY TOMLIN as MISS JANE-NAILED IT, NAILED IT, NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
the same for DABNEY COLEMAN as MR. DRYSDALE, and whomever that was as MRS. DRYSDALE, and also the lady who played COUSIN PEARL. The rest of the cast-well, not very important.

HILARIOUS COMEDY!!!!!!!
What can I say??? "The Beverly Hillbillies" is the funniest
movie ever! I'm not talking "KANGAROO JACK" funny, or "Ernest
rides again" funny, NO! I'm talking 11 OSCAR winning funny!
And the cast was perfect! Jim Varney as Jed, Deidrich Bader as
Jethro, Erika Eleniak as Elly May, Cloris Leachman as Granny,
and Lily Tomlin was an extra treat as miss Hathaway!
But, there was something different about it. Instead of the
family freindly jokes, they relied on ADULT humor! Can you
believe they said the word "SEX" in the beverly hillbillies
of all things!??!?!?!?!?
So I would not recommend it to anyone who liked the TV series
as a kid. This is a DIRTY, VULGAR movie and I cringed when I
watched this!
Still it's a reeeeeeaaaaaaly funny movie!
