How can you go wrong with Edward Herrmann sending out the women from his church to take down a nasty gambling ring?? I wanted, BEGGED, my mom to go and buy a Ford Country Squire station wagon like 'Kitty Car' drove so we could take all my friends and go fight crime! ( I was 6). I loved this movie then and I love it NOW.Where else are you going to find great car chases, going wrong way on one-way streets, cars staring down trains,and animals overtaking a an intersection? And for good measure, let's throw in Ruth Buzzi, Cloris Leachman with matching poodle, and the infamous Patsy Kelly! Go, Disney, go!! 8 out of 10 stars!

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

The "Family Film" label is too often attached to children's films, which have nothing to offer adults or more mature adolescence. "North Avenue Irregulars" is still a Disney film, and it still caters to a younger audience, but, unlike other so-called family-films, this movie won't insult the intelligence of the adolescent nor college age film viewer.Again, even though it has a little more spunk than other Disney films, it is, afterall, a Disney film. As such the topic of locals tackleing organized crime is kept G-rated (clean language, minimal violence, and so forth), but the comic moments and action balance quite well in one of the last of the truly classic Disney Family Films.Anyone who grew up in the suburban 70's and 80's will feel very much at home with the portrayal of what used to be suburban America; everything from the PTA mom down to the wood paneled station wagon. It's worth a night's viewing.

It's your typical Disney movie. A little slow at first but as the plot picks up so does the comedy - especially at the end. If you're in the mood for a good laugh, I recommend watching "The North Avenue Irregulars".
