520.0. "The Beverly Hillbillies" by 12368::michaud (Jeff Michaud, PATHWORKS for Win. NT) Tue Apr 12 1994 15:50

	Well I wasn't expecting much after this one got all the
	bad reviews and failed miserably at the box office.  Maybe
	that's why I mildly enjoyed it ....

	Lots of stars in this one, Jim Varney (hey Vern) as Uncle
	Jed, Cloris Leachman as Granny, Dabney Coleman as Mr.
	Drysdale, Lily Tomlin as Miss Jane Hathoway, Rob Scheider
	(SNL) and Lea Thompson (in good shape :-) as a pair
	of con artist, and cameos by the immortal Buddy Ebsen
	himself (who plays a dedective named Barnaby Jones!),
	Dolly Parton and Zsa Zsa Babor.  Oh ya, someone named
	Erika Eleniak plays Uncle Jed's daughter Elli May, and
	Diedrich Bader plays Jethro.

	I think the best way to watch this film is to almost completely
	dis-associate it from the immortal television series.

	Parental warning, there is lots of use of giving the middle finger.
