There is an inspired moment in the big-screen adaptation of "The Beverly Hillbillies," a surprise that comes when a Los Angeles detective is hired late in the film. ... Full Review

Varney is surprisingly effective as Jed....Schneider and Thompson are the film's weak spots, mostly due to curiously underwritten roles.....She separates the good from the great with a performance that is nonstop inspired silliness.....Eleniak is about as sweetly wholesome as any knockout blonde could be....HILLBILLIES sails most of the time on the goofy charm of its cast..... ...
