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.

Tomlin finds the humor and the heart in these hillbillies. The rest is just crude oil.

Four writers worked on the script, and they all should hang their heads in shame.

Unnecessary '90s remake has iffy humor, stereotypes.
