Movie Reviews of The North Avenue Irregulars
Movie Review: Highly Irregular
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw NORTH AVENUE IRREGULARS about 25 years ago. Recently I decided it was time to give it another go. To my surprise, I had just as much fun watching it in my 30s as I did when I was a kid. To my even bigger surprise, my wife had more fun watching it than she would have on a rollercoaster ride!
NORTH AVENUE IRREGULARS was one of Disney's final attempts at a fun family film (that the whole family could watch together), during the waning years of the era in which clean films were still marketable. The title is derived from the "Baker Street Irregulars" -- Sherlock Holmes's reliable band of young London ruffians who could spy on the suspicious and unsuspecting and deliver the inside scoop. But instead of Sherlock, we have a naïve yet determined young preacher who is bent on cleaning up his city. And instead of young ruffians, he depends on the church women -- young beauties, grandmothers, and soccer moms. With the help of two federal agents this unlikely group of enforcers give the local mob a run for their money.
What you'll find in NORTH AVENUE is a lot of zany situational comedy as well as high speed car chases and classic cinema CB-radio chatter -- which has been replaced by the cell phone and other technologies in today's movies. It also boasts a climactic all-out derby that would make SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT jealous.
What you won't find in NORTH AVENUE is profanity, blasphemy, gratuitous violence, or sexual immorality. If this movie were remade today, they would probably have the preacher (the hero of the movie) in an adulterous affair with one or more of the women he recruits. Fortunately, NORTH AVENUE was made before garbage like that became popular in Hollywood.
This movie is filled with good, clean fun and has plenty of "rewatchability".
