Summary: A fun movie
Review: This is a classic often over-looked Disney film of the 70s. The acting is very good- especially Cloris Leachmann and Ed Herrmann. Much of the comedy is light-hearted and well executed. The sound is a little bit "tinny" but it does not extract from the film all that much. A very fun car chase is towards the end of the film - one not easy to forget!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is an old movie (circa 1970). Slap stick comedy. Great actors. Made for children/teens of that era but still very funny for adults now. A "Must see".

Summary: One of my all-time favorites.
Review: This is one of the funniest live-action Disney films ever. My mother used to take this movie out from the library for me when I was little, and I loved it. A few months ago, I checked to see if they still had it, and they did, even though the case is beat up. Edward Herrmann is one of my favorite actors, and he's great as Reverend Hill. The rest of the class is great too. My favorite scene: When Douglas Fowley as Delaney is hanging from the bell tower. Buy this film before they stop selling it!!!

Summary: This is a 'feel good' movie
Review: This is the kind of movie you watch when you are down in the dumps and need a pick-me-up. Cloris Leachman is fabulous. A good verses evil movie that shows what a group of church women can do against the mob when they have God one their side. Truly He does work in mysterious ways! One of Disney's best!

Summary: I've Seen This Movie Before
Review: This movie has DISNEY written all over it. Before Disney branched out with other production companies and started making more action films with less humor, these characters knew how to take a bite out of crime in their own hilarious way.May I suggest you see MARY POPPINS; it's ONE of the BEST DISNEY live films yet mixed with some animation. But if you want more humor, see WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. PPPLEEEASE!!!

Summary: A Great Disney Classic
Review: This movie is one of my top 5 all time favorite movies. I hope my girls will find it just as entertaining when they are a little older. I think it is a wonderful light hearted comedy that makes me laugh every time I watch it. Cloris Leachman is especially hilarious in this film. They just don't make them like this anymore.

Summary: Underrated Disney Comedy
Review: To me, this is the best movie to come out of Disney's dry spell of the '70's (when it released such stinkers as "Million Dollar Duck" and "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo") . . terrific fun for the whole family. Edward Herrmann (who I normally find an unbearably annoying actor) is quite good as a pastor who finds himself fighting organized crime when one of his church members gambles away church money. (True, he should be angry at the church member, but our reverend believes in tackling the ROOT of the problem). After Herrmann speaks out against organized crime publicly, two FBI agents come to him and ask him for his help in going undercover to expose these gangsters. He asks for help from his congregation, and the only ones who will aid him are 6 indomitable females (Patsy Kelly, Virginia Capers, Barbara Harris, Cloris Leachman, Karen Valentine, and - later - Susan Clark). You'll relish every second that you see all of the ladies on the screen, especially the scatterbrained soccer mom Harris (her funniest scene takes place in a grocery store, as she spies on one of the pickup men); the constantly-primping Leachman; and tough-as-nails Capers. Features a cute cameo by Ruth Buzzi as part of a church committee out to remove Herrmann (she ends up joining the ladies to fight the criminals). Unfortunately, I find that the film suffers when nervous Fed Michael Constantine leaves the project in the Reverend's hands; his exasperated scenes with the ladies are among the most enjoyable in the film. Another small drawback is the cutesy way in which the movie treats organized crime . .you'll never believe for a second the gangsters are really out to hurt these ladies. The film's final moments, a "demolition derby" of sorts, will delight kids. I can remember absolutely loving this film as a kid . . I'm positive one day Disney will remake it (hopefully they do it justice).

Summary: Angels go undercover...
Review: Well, not real angels. Six church ladies go undercover in an attempt to place illegal bets in order to shut down gambling in their town. Reverend Mike Hill (Edward Herrmann)is the ambitious new minister at North Avenue Presbyterian Church. In his first attempt to raise money, he fails and the money they do have falls into the wrong hands and is bet on a horse race. So, in order to get the money back, he heads to the bookie joint. When he can't get his money back, he decides to shut them down. The car chase portions lost my interest now and then, because the movie turns into basically a car chase. If you can overlook that aspect, you will enjoy the movie. It does have some very funny parts to it that actually, only adults would get. The ladies are a hoot!
