Summary: True Disney Fashion
Review: I saw this movie recently and forgot how funny it was.. there are many high points of the film,one being the films appearing stars. I thought the funniest scene was that at the hotdog/sandwich stand where Patsy Kelly,Barbara Harris, and Virginia Capers were to make a bet, then spoil it when the tape recorder sounds off "Roll Out The Barrel" This,i feel, was the most absolutely funniest part of the film!! All in all, a good time.. I also recommend "Freaky Friday" which stars Barbara Harris, Patsy Kelly, and a young tomboyish Jodie Foster.. this film is a must also..

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Great fun all around
Review: In Australia, this movie is titled "Hills Angels", and I think that is a much better title and certainly describes the very funny female characters in this film. When confronted by a seemingly unsolvable gambling problem that is running amok in his town, instead of acting like a politician or a sociologist by blaming this, that, and the other for it, a minister, with the help of some spunky parishioners, resolves to DO something about it other than lament over it, and in the process provides viewers with some great entertainment and good clean fun that has become extinct in the graphically violent action movies of today. If I had children, I would not have any problem with them watching this movie and as a matter of fact, I saw it for the first time when I was 4 (I'm now 25)!

Summary: A Disney riot!
Review: Seldom does anything from Disney disappoint, and "The North Avenue Irregulars" doesn't. A sheer comic delight based on the premise of a group of church-going women setting off to undo small-town mob infiltration, the film packs some true rib-ticklers. In his role of the church's miniser, Edward Herrmann shows a rare comic side that, when first shown, was an about-face from his splendid dramatic work in the "Franklin and Eleanor" duo. But Herrmann is clearly upstaged by his supporting cast of distaffers, which is what this film calls for, and Cloris Leachman and the late Patsy Kelly are riotous! She has one of the film's best scenes with two confederates who try vainly to catch a suspected mob figure, running a refreshment stand, in a taped confession. Turning the recorder on only to get the Andrews Sisters' version of "Roll Out the Barrell" is nothing but splendid comedy. In sum, the film is one of those hidden gems that doesn't give us any serious social message or calls attention to the state of the status quo and instead gives us a welcome relief from all that serious stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a fun movie for the entire family!
Review: This film has a very recognizable and appealing cast. My 4 year old son and my 94 year old grandmother both enjoyed it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Local Grannies Cleans Up Neighborhood
Review: This film is very entertaining and definitely for all audiences. A group of elderly ladies forms a "neighborhood watch", or better a "neighborhood clean-up crew". They join forces to rid their formerly "nice neighborhood" of the trash that gives it a bad name.

Fearless and determined, the "North Avenue Irregulars" (played by many familiar comediennes) show the bad guys who's boss and reclaim their "turf". Many laughs, and a timely message: Don't let the scum take over your neighborhood!****

Review: This has been a favorite of my family for years. It contains all the exciting elements of today's action films without the gratuitous violence and graphic violence.
