Movie Reviews of Harper Valley P.T.A.
Movie Review: "Funny Late '70's Comedy"
Summary: 5 Stars
The message of "Harper Valley PTA" is a simple one: don't judge others unless you want trouble. Barbara Eden, from TV's "I Dream of Jeannie" fame, stars as Stella, a single woman living in Harper Valley, Ohio with her daughter. The girl comes home from school one day with a letter from the local parent/teacher association stating they do not approve of Stella's lifestyle and dress code. The plot of the film starts off here as Stella seeks revenge on all the PTA members by going into their lives and revealing they are not the prim and proper individuals that they portray. The movie is based on the hit Jeannie C. Reilly song of the same name from 1968, written by "The Storyteller" himself, Tom T. Hall. The movie would also spawn a minor successful TV series on NBC in the early eighties that only lasted 30 episodes. "Harper Valley PTA" is a simple and funny comedy that everyone will enjoy. If you like seeing snotty people get their comeuppance you will enjoy this film. The best part of the movie is the famous "hair scene" where a high-class snob has a dinner party. Earlier in the day she had her hair done without knowing that Stella had the chemicals for the hair color tampered with. You will roar with laughter when you see what happens.
The DVD, unfortunately, is barebones, and the trailer isn't even included. At least, though, this true comedy classic is available on DVD for posterity. There is a one sided sheet of paper that comes with the disc featuring the chapter search.
Movie Review: Funny, light entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
It's funny how we remember things over the years from our childhood. I watched this movie when it first aired on TV when I was a child. I loved it then, and I now. It's funny how little I actually remembered however, just the most dramatic scenes, especially the pink elephants; and how much I didn't get back then that I do as an adult in the way of subtle inferences. It's not the greatest or smartest comedy movie ever written, but it's funny and sweet.Movie Review: harper valley pta

I have been looking for this video for a very long time, but have not been able to find it, as we live in Australia. Did they cut some of the movie out when they put it on dvd. We were very happy with the dvd thank you.
Kind Regards

This movie is a fun, stupid screwball comedy and lots of fun.
One of those good ol rainy day comedies to watch and just enjoy. Barbara Eden is just adorable and the cast is filled with wonderful character actors that are pure camp.
