I've seen this comedy so many times back in the day, though far from good, this a mediocre comedy to say the least. The film did possess a few good laughs, but the acting was not good and the script was pretty bland. For mild entertainment value, the film does its job. If you're ... read more

I like remakes of shows sometimes and this was one of them. I find that I like this one just as much as the old version. Varney lends a serious tone and is nothing like Ernest and I enjoyed seeing him do something more dramatic. I love Ernest but I always knew Varney was capable ... read more

Diedrich Bader is really the only reason to see this movie. He does some brilliant work in it.

Cloris Leachman as Granny? Brilliant. It's not great, but it is probably the only movie I can tolerate Jim Varney in ... and Lily Tomlin is always a plus.

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 moons... Full Review
You'll hate yourself for enjoying this, but enjoy it you will. Full Review
Tomlin finds the humor and the heart in these hillbillies. The rest is just crude oil.
Imagine the dumbest half-hour sitcom you've ever seen, spin it out to 93 minutes by making it even more thin and shallow, and you have this movie. It's appalling. It's not even really a good version o... Full Review
Like the old show, the movie glides by quickly and pleasantly. If it's nothing fancy, it's mighty sweet. Full Review
Perhaps the clearest evidence of the dearth of original ideas in Hollywood is the constant need to regurgitate old, worn-out television series. Full Review
With films like these, it's a wonder studios still think it's a good idea to regurgitate the past. Full Review
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. Full Review
