About This Movie

The North Avenue Irregulars is one of those quirky gems from the late '70s that mixes crime, comedy, and a bit of action in a really offbeat way. Directed by Bruce Bilson, it captures a certain whimsical tone, where a minister and his determined church ladies take on a band of crooks. The pacing is a bit all over the place, which adds to the charm—like you're on this wild ride with these characters. The performances are surprisingly earnest, given the zany premise. It's a delightful mix of straight-laced seriousness and goofy antics, showcasing practical effects and a light-hearted atmosphere that makes it stand out from other crime comedies of the era.
