Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's thin stuff, but the ingratiating naivete of the characters and the aw-shucks friendliness of the cast are disarming, and it becomes easy to just let this go down as a country tune with some moonshine on the side.
You'll hate yourself for enjoying this, but enjoy it you will.
Tomlin finds the humor and the heart in these hillbillies. The rest is just crude oil.
Imagine the dumbest half-hour sitcom you've ever seen, spin it out to 93 minutes by making it even more thin and shallow, and you have this movie. It's appalling. It's not even really a good version of whatever it was that made the TV series appealing.
