The Beverly Hillbillies

• Comedy
• Family

A fish-out-of-water comedy rooted in a clash of cultures, *The Beverly Hillbillies* follows a backwoods family unexpectedly thrust into opulent Beverly Hills after striking oil on their land. The film delights not in broad slapstick, but in the gentle disorientation and inherent decency of the Clampetts as they navigate a world utterly foreign to their values. Their earnest attempts to adjust—and their utter failure to comprehend social climbing and deceit—generate humor stemming from genuine character rather than cynical caricature. It’s a surprisingly sweet portrait of rural life’s resilience against the superficiality of wealth, demonstrating a heartwarming resistance to assimilation and championing simple living.
