Typical of Disney's 1970s output, this squeaky-clean comic adventure about a group of church volunteers and soccer moms who take on local gangsters is packed with slapstick humor, sight gags, and nonlethal car crashes. Curiously enough, it's based on the true story of Reverend Albert Fay Hill, who wrote a book about his efforts to stop mob-run gambling in his city. Edward Herrmann plays the fictionalized Presbyterian minister Mike Hill, a soft-spoken widower with two kids who ruffles the feathers of the dedicated church secretary (Susan Clark) when he organizes a group of women to help the Treasury Department catch the bookies in the act. The mobsters are more Damon Runyon than John Gotti: no one gets hurt and everything ends in a demolition derby free-for-all as the suburban-lady volunteers play bumper cars with the mobsters. There's a potentially fascinating story in there that Disney keeps a G-rated cap on (though seeing Karen Valentine swingin' her booty under the cover of pounds of makeup and a little halter top is a surprise in a family film), but it's a harmless little comedy enlivened by plucky performances by Barbara Harris and Cloris Leachman and a fun turn by Ruth Buzzie as a church elder with a CB-radio handle. --Sean Axmaker

Description

There's magic in the memories as great Disney moments are captured right here for you and your family to enjoy. The new preacher in town joins forces with the most unlikely group of organized crime fighters anyone has ever dreamed up -- six lady church members who are dedicated, eager, ready, willing ... everything but organized! The result is an action-packed comic caper that's as funny as any Disney comedy ever filmed!

5 out of 5 stars They don't make movies like this anymore.......2007-06-11

Yes, this movie is a little corny and slow at the beginning. And it doesn't meet today's "standards" for a comedy. But it is so funny! I miss the traditional Disney movies of the 60's. Even Disney has comprised their standards and morals over the past few years. I would recommend this family movie to anyone.

5 out of 5 stars NORTH AVENUE IRREGULARS.......2007-06-11

ABSOLUTELY A FUN CLEAN FAMILY MOVIE! LOTS OF BELLY LAUGHS! WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANY AGE FROM 5 TO 90!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Good wholesome fun.......2007-01-31

I 'member seein' this as a kid in Etobicoke (Toronto, Kannader) - my Dad was a missionary, so the plot was of particular poignance... He never took on the Mob, but it was fun to see that church life could be so, uh, jocular! Me'n my siblings'n folks all had a good time, and there were no 'embarrassing' moments (for me back then) in the movie where somebody was kissing, or hugging or doing anything 'intimate' that you just don't DO... particularly onscreen - Lorr-dee!

5 out of 5 stars Great Disney Family Movie.......2006-08-31

This movie is a great family movie. The first time we saw this movie, we rented it from a video shop. The night we watched was the night before my father's funeral in 1985. It helped the family get through a tough night.

Received our order promptly and the DVD was in excellent shape. We really enjoyed seeing this film again!
