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

Reviews for The Beverly Hillbillies
Four writers worked on the script, and they all should hang their heads in shame.
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.
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.
It's fitting that The Beverly Hillbillies is based on a popular sitcom, given that the film feels perfectly suited to the small screen.
You knew it would be awful and it surely did not disappoint. The few stray chuckles seem to arrive by accident.
