This is a satisfactory update of the old television sitcom about a family of hillbillies striking oil and upgrading their lives into Beverly Hills where they are ignorant of any technological update since the Civil War. This film, headed by an ensemble of famous comedians, has a silliness factor equal to that of the original show. Good for preteens.
