 North Avenue Irregulars, 2004-07-15
A Disney Classic at its best. Great that Disney releasing the old time films like this one about a man of the cloth and the church people trying to save their church from being torn down. The only problem is that Disney needs to release these older titles to a wider range of stores and many of use end up special ordering or ordering on line because they can't find them in their stores.

Funny Comedy about Quirky Church-goers, 2003-01-12
I have never laughed so hard at such a funny comedy. The movie is about the North Avenue Presbyterian Church, when a church member bets the entire church sinking fund on a horse race and loses. This makes the rest of the church members go on a secret mission to tear up the underground gambling ring in their city. It is a very funny movie and worth the money to add to your collection.

 A Disney riot!, 2002-11-20
Seldom does anything from Disney disappoint, and "The North Avenue Irregulars" doesn't. A sheer comic delight based on the premise of a group of church-going women setting off to undo small-town mob infiltration, the film packs some true rib-ticklers. In his role of the church's miniser, Edward Herrmann shows a rare comic side that, when first shown, was an about-face from his splendid dramatic work in the "Franklin and Eleanor" duo. But Herrmann is clearly upstaged by his supporting cast of distaffers, which is what this film calls for, and Cloris Leachman and the late Patsy Kelly are riotous! She has one of the film's best scenes with two confederates who try vainly to catch a suspected mob figure, running a refreshment stand, in a taped confession. Turning the recorder on only to get the Andrews Sisters' version of "Roll Out the Barrell" is nothing but splendid comedy. In sum, the film is one of those hidden gems that doesn't give us any serious social message or calls attention to the state of the status quo and instead gives us a welcome relief from all that serious stuff.

Light-hearted, have a good time movie., 2002-08-16
I loved this movie. I liked Barbara Harris from Disney's "Freaky Friday" and Hitchcock's "Family Plot." I also loved Karen Valentine from "Room 222" television series. Ruth Buzzi is always hilarious but Cloris Leachman stoled the show. There is a car chase that is simpy hilarious, and thanks to Cloris Leachman, I was doubled over in laughter for the whole scene. This is simply a light-hearted, have a good time movie.
I've Seen This Movie Before, 2002-07-24
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!!!
