Leave It To Beaver (1997) *

After the undeserved success of "The Brady Bunch Movie", a big screen adaptation of "Leave It To Beaver" was inevitable. There are many problems with this film: little Beaver Cleaver is sickingly cute and adorable, his mother wears way too much makeup (she looks like a high-class hooker) and his brother's 12-year-old girlfriend seems to have wandered off the set of "Lolita". Those subversive touches aside, it's a pretty boring movie.
