Review of The Beverly Hillbillies (1993) by Carol H — 04 Oct 2013
I didn't expect this to be good. I have really never watched the TV series because I find it insufferable, so I expected to find little of any interest here. What I didn't expect was to find the talented actors in the cast coasting quite this badly.
Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin and Cloris Leachman are unbelievably terrible ... each of them hits a single note and just rides it throughout the film. A special mention goes to Diedrich Bader for being so unbelievably godawful here that the subsequent death of his career doesn't feel like punishment enough.
The one (surprising) saving grace is Jim Varney, who actually turns in a restrained and somewhat thoughtful performance.
