This was a great reunion of most of the original cast, played by the original actors. A good story, with lots of laughs. Lots of running gags and details from the original series. Naturally, some things have changed, since there were 19 years between the end of the series and this movie.
My only three complaints: 1) It was filmed outside, rather than on a set, so they couldn't make it look quite like it did on the show. For example, the Douglas' house is now off the main road; the exterior layout of the house is now different and doesn't match the layout of the inside; there's no longer a railroad next to Drucker's Store and the town just in general looks a little TOO different. Hooterville was always "behind in the times" and therefore, the change should have been minor. 2) Some of the actors were not very good at acting, but it was a lower budget film and it was the '90s, so what do you expect? And 3) They made Mr. Haney out to be the villain. On the original series, he was a con man, but it was always in fun. He was never evil. In this movie, he is compared to the Devil.
However, these are relatively small complaints. If you are a fan of the original series, you should definitely watch this fun movie! It's currently free on Amazon Prime and you can find it on DVD in a few places online.
