Yes, I said "One of the worst movies ever made." And even that might be praising it too highly. Because unlike a "Plan Nine From Outer Space," "The Beverly Hillbillies" doesn't even have that "it's so bad it's good!" quality. BH is just so bad it's bad.
Understand that I was a fan of the TV series. I was actually looking forward to seeing the movie! What a terrible disappointment.
What's wrong with it, you ask? Really, just one thing: It isn't funny. I didn't laugh one time. How in the world could we have Dabney Coleman and Lilly Tomlin (not to mention Jim Varney, Cloris Leachman and several other genuinely talented people) in the same movie and come up with absolutely zero laughs?
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go dig out my copy of "Ishtar." That's an absolute laugh riot compared to this turkey.
