The North Avenue Irregulars

Sometimes, taking a bite out of crime means getting involved, and the six church ladies in this wacky comedy, along with their new minister (Edward Herrmann), aren't afraid to kick some butt. When the underworld moves into the neighborhood, these feisty amateur sleuths decide to fight back … hard! A huge cast of talented character actors -- including Alan Hale, Patsy Kelly, Cloris Leachman and Karen Valentine -- provides a ton of laughs.

I saw this in the theater with my mom in 1979 (I was 9) and we still have a laugh every now and then when we see something that reminds us of the car chase scene.

Lots of good, clean fun for when you want to enjoy a comedy with kids--without having to explain any embarrassing stuff or naughty words. Also, the 70's are "in" again as well...and they make for a fun trip down memory lane for folks of Gen-X vintage (or their parents).

Written on IMDB a long time ago.

Excellent movie...Cloris Leachman steals the show...as she usually does in any project she is in..this group of actors work wonderfully together...loved the car chasing scenes and the ending in the junkyard with its smash up derby is funny ...Disney succeeds again

For whatever reason, this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It's the story of a reverend (the same guy who is in Gilmore Girls and who plays President Roosevelt in Annie) who comes to a new town. He and a bunch of church ladies are enlisted by the FBI to help crack down on illegal gambling in their town. The subject matter of the film is probably over the heads of some kids, but they'll love the car chases and general mayhem that abounds.
