Proving there's more to the U.K. than fish and chips and Benny Hill, this release from Steam Broadcast Television features an even dozen of the hottest ladies from across the pond. Among the sexy birds are Joanne Guest, Kirsten Imrie, Adele Stevens, Charmaine Sinclair, Teresa May, Jordan, Linzi Dawn McKenzie, Sammi Jessop, and four others. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
Penelope Spheeris directed this compulsively faithful film adaptation of the popular 1960s television series. The familiar story 'bout a man named Jed Clampett (Jim Varney), a poor mountaineer who barely kept his family fed, continues to follow the TV show's format. Jed discovers oil on his Arkansas property and overnight becomes a multi-millionaire. He moves his family to Beverly Hills, wanting to turn his daughter Ellie May (Erika Eleniak) into a sophisticated woman. At his new Beverly Hills mansion, he meets Mr. Drysdale (Dabney Coleman), a kow-towing banker, and Drysdale's assistant, the repressed crone Miss Hathaway (Lily Tomlin). Jed announces that he would like to re-marry, and that leaves the door open for Drysdale's scheming lackey Woodrow Tyler (Rob Schneider) and his fortune-hunting partner Laura Jackson (Lea Thompson) to make the moves on Jed. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Angry over the demolition of his home, eccentric Mr. Willard (Stephen Root) begins buying up major New York City landmarks--including the Night Court building. When it turns out that Willard is within his legal rights, Harry (Harry Anderson) is put on the trail of a serious financial snafu made by the city government. Meanwhile, Dan (John Larroquette) savors the prospect of judging the annual "Miss Mass Transit" beauty pageant. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story (originally networkcast as a single one-hour special), Harry (Harry Anderson) is offered several jobs, from superior court-judge to road manager for Mel Torme, before making his final decision. Elsewhere, Christine (Markie Post) rather surprisingly wins the congressional election; Dan (John Larroquette) finally finds his true love; and Bull (Richard Moll) has a very close encounter with some Jupiterians. Though intended as the final installment of Night Court's nine-season run, this episode was originally seen next-to-last, with an additional first-run episode shown three weeks later. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
