Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780764005572 Format: Color, NTSC ISBN: 076400557X Label: Starz / Anchor Bay Manufacturer: Starz / Anchor Bay Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Starz / Anchor Bay Release Date: June 29, 1999 Running Time: 99 minutes Studio: Starz / Anchor Bay Theatrical Release Date: February 09, 1979 Sales Rank: 13274 Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - EntertainingThis dvd is a nice clean comedy and very entertaining for all us older people. Rating: - Still Funny Loved this movie when I was younger and still love it today! Cloris Leachman is hysterical. Rating: - A Family FavoriteDid you miss this fun Disney movie? Fun mad-cap video about a group of 'church ladies' who take on the mob. Rating: - The North Avenue IrregularsExcellent- feel like you know the characters, because they act like people you know!! Good family movie Rating: - "North Ave Irregulars" is Good Family Fun!I remember this movie when it came out in the theatre, back in the late 70's. It reminds me of the CB radio fad that was very big at that time. Plus , you've got plenty of good haracter acors in this, including Cloris Leachman and Karen Valentine. It's nice to see this one available again. Now, if Disny would only release "The Child of Glass" onto DVD, it would be very nice, seeing as how it's one of the movies I remember from "Wonderful World of Disney"from around the same time period.
