Product Description:
A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THE FIRST LEAVE IT TO BEAVER TELEVISION SHOW AIRED NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AGO. BUT BEAVER CLEAVER IS STILL A LITTLE BOY WITH A KNACK FOR GETTING INTO VERY BIG TROUBLE. JOIN THE BEAVER, HIS PARENTS, WARD AND JUNE, BROTHER WALLY AND HIS WAY-OUT WACKY FRIENDS FOR AN ADVENTURE.

You might think that this 1997 comedy based on the popular late-'50s TV series would be little more than a pointless clone of its small-screen predecessor, but as a harmless slice of family entertainment it's surprisingly easy to take. Of course nobody could ever hope to match the original Cleaver family for Eisenhower-era charm, but there's cleverness afoot in the notion of presenting the Clinton-era Cleavers with just a hint of dysfunction beneath all that domestic bliss and innocence. While Ward (Christopher McDonald) pushes his son Beaver (Cameron Finley) onto the football team to compensate for the lost glories of his bygone youth, Beaver's grades suffer along with his self-esteem. When a teacher suggests that the Cleavers seek family counseling, June (Janine Turner) has visions of Beaver in the loony bin. Meanwhile, brother Wally is wracked with guilt over dating his friend Eddie Haskell's object of affection, but eventually these various plot lines (borrowed from the TV show) converge for the requisite happy ending. What--you were expecting Beaver to become a Prozac kid? --Jeff Shannon

This 1997 feature film take on the iconic 1950's television series reimagines the Cleaver family, Ward, June, Wally, and the Beav, in a late '90's setting integrating such things as personal computers and "Home Improvement" episodes into the otherwise still very quaint Mayfield community. The plot is rather uncomplicated and nothing outstanding, bordering on episodic, but held together well enough with continuing issues that both Wally and the Beaver are dealing with throughout. As per Eddie Haskell's ... Read More

Thankfully, we only checked this out at the library. My wife thought is was from the original series.
Where as the original series is entertaining and thought provoking, with no embarrassing moments when viewing the show, this post-modern movie treats us with fart-language, Eddie boasting of a bedroom episode, and Eddie calling June a "babe" to her face and a few other unacceptable for family viewing scenes. Trash!
Get the season series of the original show. We got season 2. ... Read More

How far back in sit-com history are they going to go? How about a new "Amos and Andy" movie with white characters? or the Jackie Gleason Show but cast a skinny guy as Jackie Gleason? or the "William Bendix show" with Sinbad? or "Pete & Gladys" with Beyonce and M&M as the new "Gladys and Pete"? or "December Bride" with Spring Byington, but now it can be "May-December Bride" with Jennifer Lopez? or a full length feature film with Quickdraw McGraw and Baba Louie, staring Jim Carey and Ricky Martin? Actually, ... Read More

Okay, YUP-it's corny. HELLO-its based on a very popular show from the 50s and 60s, which I happen to love. Forgive the cheese factor every once in awhile and enjoy this family film!

"Leave It to Beaver" was one of the most popular TV shows of the late 50s-early 60s.
Beaver was the youngest member of a 50s family called the Cleavers that included Dad (Ward), Mom (June) and big brother (Wally). When the show began in 1957 Beaver was 8 and his brother Wally 12.
Tony Dow as Wally Cleaver was perhaps the most likeable and most believeable of the Cleavers. He was teen-cute and acted like an honest-to-goodness, normal 50s teenager. Jerry Mathers as the Beave was cute too ... Read More
