The North Avenue Irregulars

1979 · 100 min

A gentle, goofy caper where church ladies bumble their way through mob busting, full of slapstick warmth and small-town charm.

Tagline: The FBI couldn't do it... the CIA couldn't do it... so they sent for... Hill's Angels.
Overview: When crooks set up operations in a traditional town, a minister and a group of church ladies are willing to do anything, no matter how wacky, to get them out.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, warm and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, found family, faith, justice
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
