StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

StrictlyConfidential Please, don't get me wrong here. I don't hate The Beverly Hillbillies. But, with that said, I cannot believe that this "one-note-joke-of-a-show" (about a seriously dysfunctional culture clash) that pit the "aw-shucks" ignorance of country bumpkins against life in the fast-lane of modern-day Beverly Hills society, actually lasted for 9 whole seasons.Yes. I will admit that there was some funny stuff in several of these episodes. But, far too often, it all came across as being just "too dumb for words". And, because this was all tied into its "one-note-joke" factor, its situations, though good-natured, quickly became annoyingly predictable and downright tiresome after only a short while.Personally, I don't think that this show's off-the-wall humour holds up very well, 50 years down the road. But, hey, that's only my opinion. If you happen to be a big fan of this show, then I'm certain you'll think otherwise. And, yeah, that's cool.

dwk-16755 My family was exceedingly fond of Granny as well as Jed. My grandfather who wouldn't watch TV except, except news, made a point of catching The Beverly Hillbillies every chance he got. As a southern man born in 1912, the TV was something he had NO use for really. The antics of granny and the creative uses for the swanky things in the mansion made my grandfather laugh til his bald head turned bright red. The billiard table as a dining table with "reaching poles" and special pockets for chicken bones was a favorite. We always enjoyed seeing the California elites being perplexed by old fashioned southern/mountain hospitality. While mostly pure farce, I could see a lot of the Tenn. mountain folk I knew as a child from visiting some family in the Clampets. They do things oddly, but they pretty much had the basics covered...even if they were as odd to me as I was to them as a city girl. The Clampets accurately depict the can do, friendly attitude of the southern mountain folk of the day...before technology withered their traditions.

bkoganbing One thing about the Clampetts. Even after Jed became fabulously rich and moved from the Piney Woods to Beverly Hills and that big mansion, they never lost their common sense values. At least Buddy Ebsen never did. The others were grounded by him.The Clampetts who moved consisted of mountaineer Jed Clampett, daughter Ellie Mae who had a love for those woods 'critters', her cousin Jethro Bodine well built, but not much between the ears, and Granny most suspicious of newfangled ways.Donna Douglas was Ellie Mae who helped many a man in his youth mature fast with all those incredible curves showing in all those tight clothes she wore. Must have been fashionable in the hills. Max Baer as Jethro throughout the entire run of the show had his jeans held up by a rope. You would think with the Clampett millions he could go to Rodeo Drive and get a belt. Irene Ryan was Granny who could never deal with all those newfangled kitchen appliances.Neighbors to the Clampetts were the Drysdales. Raymond Bailey was Mr. Drysdale in whose bank the Clampett millions resided. They became his biggest depositors and he went to any lengths to invest their money and make them happy. A more unscrupulous man would have seen the opportunities to embezzle and taken them. If nothing else Drysdale was honest. He even got them their mansion.All that responsibility made no difference to Harriet MacGibbon. Mrs. Drysdale was old money from Boston and these hillbillies with no class just revolted her sense of propriety. It was the same every week, her bearing down Bailey to keep those Clampetts quiet and Bailey trying to keep peace. The first Granny cooked up a batch of moonshine signaled things to come.Buddy Ebsen may have been illiterate, but he had a fount of common sense and was a real rock on that show. Maybe one of the best dads on television.The Beverly Hillbillies was a great show with a lot of good fish out of water comedy.

tleeg1 I loved the house.....in my life that was how a house should look....two front doors...a welcoming hall,a place for the men to play billiards....(Not for use as a dining room with pot passers....loL )iT WAS A MANSION, but a welcoming one. A house I would design...the kitchen....OMG Well Jed, Ellie May and Grannie would love my house...As formal as I am...I would have to soften the drawing room....I love the silks and formality...but I would soften it up......the sixties version, though appeciated. is too stiff...even for the "60"'s....A Drawing room is appropriate....so is a dining room... but a relaxed study is also appropriate....in my home you would feel welcome....
