Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The Cleaver family live in Ohio. Father Ward, mother June, teenage son Wally and 8-year- old "Beaver" Theodore. Beaver hopes to get a bike as a gift from his father and to please him tries out for his school football team, only to be embarrassed when he makes it. The bike he gets is stolen by one of the local kids. Wally is trying to help his friend Eddie Haskell to get the heart of pretty classmate Karen, but Karen seems to like Wally more, and that leads to tensions between the friends....Another case of make money from the title, a huge TV series in the sixties, this vanished without a trace in the US, and here in the UK, it was just one of those straight to video movies that gathered dust on the shelf.And its easy to see why. It's by the numbers stuff, nothing you've never seen before, and it all feels just a little too forced at times, and the most fundamental thing about the film is, that it's not funny in the least.Straight from the off the film goes for slapstick with the delivering of papers. Pies go everywhere, paint lands in coffee, and people get wet. It goes rapidly downhill from there.The cast feels stilted, the script very poor, and it all ends in a predictable, cute mushy way.I've never seen the original TV series, and after this, I very much doubt I will.I'd rather watch Father loves Beaver, as advertised on Scrooged.

LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, in my opinion, is an excellent film adaptation of a classic TV show with appealing performances. Despite the fact that the punk (Glenn Harris Jr.) was a despicable thief, I fell madly in love with him. If you ask me, the way that Wally (Erik von Detten) fell for Karen (Erika Christensen) was absolutely romantic. When they were together in a scene, I felt really warm and tingly inside. Also, even though everyone gave an appealing performance, I liked the Beaver's (Cameron Finley) the best. In addition, I thought that Eddie (Adam Zolotin) was an unctuous guy. However, I thought that Judy (Brighton Hertford) and her mother (Shirley Prestia) were absolute b******. In conclusion, I highly recommend this excellent film adaptation of a classic TV show with appealing performances to any fan of the series who hasn't seen it. You're in for a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.

I have read a bunch of these other reviews, in which many people seem to strongly dislike the 1997 movie "Leave it to Beaver." Well, I have one question for them: Do you even watch the show?! The 1997 movie combines countless themes and storylines from various episodes of the original series, a technique that is enjoyable and funny. The actors are great, and it is wonderful to see some of the original show's cast making cameos in the film (such as the actors who originally played June Cleaver, Eddie Haskell, and Lumpy). The movie gives a fresh twist to a classic television series, and effectively bridges the gap between generations. This film is enjoyable for younger children and teens who may not have seen the original series, as well as being exciting for parents or other adults who know and love the Cleaver clan from way back in the 50s. This film is a true winner, despite pointless criticisms that it may have received.

This movie was okay...except for some flaws. First of all, what is the setting? I mean, everyone dresses like they're from the sixties or something, but then Eddie says something about Brad Pitt and the obnoxious blabbermouth lady is driving a sleek silver car that I wouldn't identify with the past. Everything else was acceptable, I guess, but then again, I've never seen the original.
