 Absolutely Hilarious!, 2001-12-06
I watched this great Disney movie as a child and was hooked ever since! The screwball antics of these church ladies is shocking and funny! "Roll Out The Barrel!"

One of my absolute favorite Disney movies, 2001-04-11
I first saw this movie at the theatre as a kid and I have loved it ever since. My mother taped it off of the Disney Channel and it has been watched so many times that the tape is worn out. It's a step back to where you could find a clean cut movie that children can watch without wondering what they are going to see that they shouldn't.

Great fun all around, 2000-06-28
In Australia, this movie is titled "Hills Angels", and I think that is a much better title and certainly describes the very funny female characters in this film. When confronted by a seemingly unsolvable gambling problem that is running amok in his town, instead of acting like a politician or a sociologist by blaming this, that, and the other for it, a minister, with the help of some spunky parishioners, resolves to DO something about it other than lament over it, and in the process provides viewers with some great entertainment and good clean fun that has become extinct in the graphically violent action movies of today. If I had children, I would not have any problem with them watching this movie and as a matter of fact, I saw it for the first time when I was 4 (I'm now 25)!

 Underrated Disney Comedy, 2000-05-26
To me, this is the best movie to come out of Disney's dry spell of the '70's (when it released such stinkers as "Million Dollar Duck" and "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo") . . terrific fun for the whole family. Edward Herrmann (who I normally find an unbearably annoying actor) is quite good as a pastor who finds himself fighting organized crime when one of his church members gambles away church money. (True, he should be angry at the church member, but our reverend believes in tackling the ROOT of the problem). After Herrmann speaks out against organized crime publicly, two FBI agents come to him and ask him for his help in going undercover to expose these gangsters. He asks for help from his congregation, and the only ones who will aid him are 6 indomitable females (Patsy Kelly, Virginia Capers, Barbara Harris, Cloris Leachman, Karen Valentine, and - later - Susan Clark). You'll relish every second that you see all of the ladies on the screen, especially the scatterbrained soccer mom Harris (her funniest scene takes place in a grocery store, as she spies on one of the pickup men); the constantly-primping Leachman; and tough-as-nails Capers. Features a cute cameo by Ruth Buzzi as part of a church committee out to remove Herrmann (she ends up joining the ladies to fight the criminals). Unfortunately, I find that the film suffers when nervous Fed Michael Constantine leaves the project in the Reverend's hands; his exasperated scenes with the ladies are among the most enjoyable in the film. Another small drawback is the cutesy way in which the movie treats organized crime . .you'll never believe for a second the gangsters are really out to hurt these ladies. The film's final moments, a "demolition derby" of sorts, will delight kids. I can remember absolutely loving this film as a kid . . I'm positive one day Disney will remake it (hopefully they do it justice).
