Plot

After his sister-in-law, Pearl Bodine (played by Linda Carlson), convinces the extremely rich Jed (played by Jim Varney) that his daughter, Elly May (played by Erika Eleniak), needs to be taught "womanly ways," the widowed Jed, his daughter, his mother-in-law, Granny (played by Cloris Leachman), and his nephew, Jethro (Pearl's son, played by Diedrich Bader), load up the old, dilapidated truck and move from their home near the fictional Bugtussle, with Jethro driving and Granny sitting in a rocking chair elevated in back, to Beverly Hills, California.

Part of the country-meets-city humor comes when the hillbillies reach Los Angeles and an angry driver flips Jed the finger. The hillbillies all mistakenly think that is the "Californy howdy," so they start making the obscene hand gesture to other motorists. When they give the finger to one particular couple on the highway, the passenger pulls his gun on them. Jed thinks the man is just showing off his firearm, so he shows the man his shotgun. This scares them away. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

Once they arrive in Beverly Hills and locate their mansion, which has been provided for them by the banker in charge of Jed's billion dollars, Milburn Drysdale (played by Dabney Coleman), which he purchased next door to his own with the help of his secretary/assistant, Miss Jane Hathaway (played by Lily Tomlin), the Clampetts are perceived to be transient derelicts and the police are called. Miss Jane gets there and discovers their true identity as Mr. Drysdale arrives. The fawning and covetous Drysdale convinces them that all is well.

When they get settled into these large and strange surroundings, the country folk are very naive with regard to life in the big city and have to contend with a serious culture clash, strange and unusual customs, and snobbish neighbors, especially Mrs. Drysdale (played by Penny Fuller). Culture (Culture from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning to cultivate,) generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance. ...

Wanting to make Elly May into a "sophisticated woman," Jed decides she needs a French lady to help her acquire more ladylike ways. He then expresses a desire for a new wife, for Elly's sake. The Clampett clan, along with everyone else, set out to hunt him down a bride. Since he is filthy rich, there are plenty of women who will gladly marry the plainspoken former coon-hunting billionaire and become Mrs. Jed Clampett. Woodrow Tyler (played by Rob Schneider), an employee in Drysdale's bank, contrives a scheme to bilk the bumpkin hillbilly out of his billions. He gets his golddigging, con artist girlfriend, Laura Jackson (played by Lea Thompson), to go to the front door of the Clampett mansion posing as a French etiquette teacher, Laurette Voleur (Laurette Thief, in French), asking for work.

Once she is hired, Voleur lures Jed into proposing marriage and plans are set. All the Clampett's kin from back in the hills, including Pearl and Jethro's twin sister, Jethrene Bodine (also played by Diedrich Bader), fly to California for the wedding. Granny, however, hears Laurette Voleur and Woodrow Tyler talking about their scheme while she is brewing some moonshine, and she jumps up and yells, "When I Inform Jed, the wedding will be off, HE HE HE!" They grab her and then tie her up and gag her and take her to the Los Viejos Nursing Home and put her there against her will where they tell the head doctor she is their grandmother who suffers from dementia. Voleur demands she be kept restrained in a straitjacket at all times because she is a danger to herself and others and that she is to be kept away from sharp objects and pay phones. The doctor says she will be a fine test patient for electro shock therapy and should be tested for rabies. Miss Jane, searching for a private investigator to locate Granny, goes to the offices of Barnaby Jones (Buddy Ebsen, who portrayed the original Jed Clampett in the TV series, recreating the title role of his later TV series).

During the big, elaborate wedding, Woodrow plans to transfer all of Clampett's money in Drysdale's bank to a Swiss account on his laptop computer when the couple says "I do."

However, the plot is foiled when Miss Jane finds out from Barnaby Jones that Granny is in the retirement home. Miss Jane dresses up like the new nurse and breaks in to the hellhole and tells the orderly that she is here for the rabies test. The orderly tells her to be careful, they had to give her electro shock therapy. She gets to Granny's room and finds her restrained in the straitjacket with her hair frizzed up from the electro shock therapy. Miss Jane unstraps her from the restraint and helps her escape from the doctor and the home. They arrive at the wedding in time to foil the plot. The Clampetts learn that "sparking" and marrying are not the same in Beverly Hills as back home in Bugtussle.

The movie has Zsa Zsa Gabor parodying her 1989 Beverly Hills arrest, as she stands in a lineup at the police station. Jim Varney brings to his role as Jed an air of dignity not seen in the TV series; Erika Eleniak, though she may have been cast for her other attributes, gives a good performance as airheaded Elly May; Diedrich Bader is convincing enough in his dual role, though his Jethro seems ten times stupider than he is in the TV show; and Cloris Leachman is fantastic as Granny. Purist fans of the show, however, feel that Dabney Coleman (and assumably the script) very much misinterpreted the character of Mr. Drysdale, who is portrayed as stammering, obsequious and somewhat bumbling throughout -- in the original series, Mr. Drysdale was only stammering, obsequious and bumbling when around Mr. Clampett; when dealing with his employees he was the epitome of a confident, focused and rather ruthless bank president. (Coleman probably felt that the original characterization of Mr. Drysdale was too similar to his previous role of Franklin Hart, Jr from the 1980 film, Nine to Five, so he changed it to avoid being typecast.) Lily Tomlin gives an extremely entertaining performance as Ms. Hathaway. Year 1989 (MCMLXXXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar). ...
