Harper Valley P.T.A 70's movie with 70's stars. Good movie for it's time. Nice piece of 70's nastalgia.
A review in 2008 Okay, okay, so I know that this movie is a bit out-dated- so I'l be nice. Yes, it is 2008. Was this movie filmed even in the century? No. So! Now that we've gotten past the effects and quality, we'll move on! If you like corny or cheesy comedies, then here is a flick for you. I'm all about silly movies or corny films, but... well, I'll put it this way. I can never stop watching a movie once I've started it. It's nearly impossible for me and I have probably only done it twice before. I didn't purposefully shut the DVD player off or anything, but I did keep myself busy with chatting on the internet the whole time and eventually just taking off my glasses and falling asleep with it still playing. Not to say that I didn't finish it the next day.. I did, eventually. Though I was glad that it was finally over. I can see how this film maybe could have been viewed as outrageous or maybe even hilarious?? back in the 70s due to the nature of the movie... Wait, no. No I can't. I'm sorry, I just really disliked this film and will probably never watch it again. It didn't have a strong plot, did not grasp the viewer's attention, and didn't keep me laughing (at all). Where we are supposed to feel bad for this poor mother being picked on by the PTA, they don't build a strong character to feel for. The mother is a terrible influence on her daughter and breaks the law constantly while trying to prove?? that everyone on the PTA board are terrible people. All she proved to me was, she was just as bad, if not WORSE than any of those snobby board people! A terrible scene, though, is the end. Now, there are a lot of corny scenes and numerous scenes that just don't make any sense or try to help the plot in this movie, but the final scene was terrible. I was just so relieved that this mess of a movie was finally over that I jumped up and yelled "oh thank god!" and hit the power switch as quick as I could to shut off the cheesy soundtrack music. I would say, if you were a tweenager in the 70s, you may enjoy this movie. Other than that, I'd say don't bother. Hit me up, I'll send you my copy. I sure won't be using it for anything!! ~*luci*~
Not intellectually stimulating . . . If you are looking for intelligent entertainment, don't see this movie. If you enjoy revenge movies and are looking for some brain dead fun, and an excuse to look at Barbara Eden in tight clothes and short skirts, this movie is made for you.
The plot is pretty simple, the local PTA decides that Stella Johnson (Barbara Eden) is dressing too sexy and acting to wild for the small town of Harper Valley. They send home a letter to this effect with her daughter. Stella responds by going public with the private sins of the hypocritical members of the PTA. This makes for a cute three minute theme song, but it gets stretched a little thin for a full length movie.
To fill out the remaining time, we get to watch Stella get her revenge by pulling increasingly more ridiculous (and criminal) "practical jokes". These include everything from taping the sexual liaisons of an unmarried teacher with the mailman to driving elephants stolen from the local circus (and painted pink) through the home of the town drunk. When none of that proves to be enough to fill-up the minutes remaining in the movie, we get a new plot involving Stella running for PTA president and the current PTA president having people kidnapped and the school robbed to stop her.
Barbara Eden is easy on the eyes. The rest of the movie ranges from painfully dumb to pretty funny. If you can suspend your disbelief (and your ability to think critically) you can have some fun watching this movie.
Speedy Service, No Problems I received my dvd very quickly with no problems. DVD is in fantastic condition as promised. I highly recommend this seller.
Not as good as I thought I liked the song and I thought the movie would be funny to watch with my 13 yr old daughter. I felt that some of the scenes were inappropriate, due to the nudity. The rating for this movie should be at least pg-13 or pg-14.
