The Beverly Hillbillies 1993  PG, 93 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Penelope Spheeris
Cast: Jim Varney, Dabney Coleman, Cloris Leachman, Lily Tomlin, Diedrich Bader, Buddy Ebsen, Erika Eleniak, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Dolly Parton, Lea Thompson
This movie is an updated version of the television show that aired during the 1960s. All the characters are back as is all of the corn. Nevertheless, for "Beverly Hillbillies" fans, this is another chance to see new actors in the tried and true roles of Jed, Granny, and their family and friends. Unfortunately, the script and execution are not as good as the series.

The Little Rascals 1994 PG, 82 min.
Genre: Family
Director: Penelope Spheeris
Cast: Travis Tedford, Bug Hall, Brittany Ashton Holmes, Kevin Jamal Woods, Jordan Warkol, Zachary Mabry, Ross Elliott Bagley, Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg, Daryl Hannah
This 1994 version of the early 1930s' "Our Gang" films is filled with many of the same trappings of its predecessors. For example, the actors exhibit uncanny resemblances to their earlier prototypes including Spanky, Alfalfa, and Buckwheat. This time around, Alfalfa (Bug Hall) falls in love with Darla (Brittany Ashton Holmes), and that threatens what the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" stands for. To save the day, the gang plots ways to keep Alfalfa and Darla apart. 1 User Review
