 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Troop Beverly Hills | Deseret Morning News Web edition
"Troop Beverly Hills" is yet another shallow comedy that might have made a good 10-minute skit on "Saturday Night Live," but stretched out to feature length is booooring.
Long is a rich Beverly Hills wife whose husband is seeking a divorce — not because there's another woman, but because his wife has become a Beverly Hills stereotype.
But, of course, she knows nothing of wilderness skills, so instead of camping out she takes the girls to the Beverly Hills Hotel where they roast marshmallows in the fireplace, and instead of earning traditional patches she creates her own, for such worthy tasks as jewelry appraisal.

 dOc DVD Review: Troop Beverly Hills (1989)
Troop Beverly Hills director Jeff Kanew covered somewhat similar ground with his 1984 Revenge of the Nerds, that gloriously base comic classic about a bunch of social outcasts who overcome adversity to triumph over a bunch of obnoxious and smarmy privileged types.
In the case of Troop Beverly Hills, the roles are flip-flopped, with the privileged types being the heroic underdogs who have to work hard to get their act together in order to rise up and prove themselves.
Troop Beverly Hills isn't perfect, but it is something of a guilty pleasure of mine, and as a lightweight family film it is a mindlessly good one at times.

 Troop Beverly Hills (1989): Shelley Long, Craig T. Nelson, Betty Thomas - PopMatters Film Review
Beverly Hills socialite Phyllis is surprised one day when her husband Fred (Craig T. Nelson) tells her he wants a divorce.
TBH's critique of crass consumerism is furthered by the family's background.
Troop Beverly Hills tries to disavow the era's infamous excesses, but at the same time lavishes in them, participating in a nearly incessant branding and namedropping (Robin Leach cameos and the girls carry Giorgio of Beverly Hills backpacks, for goodness sake!).

 DVD Verdict Review - Troop Beverly Hills
Though Troop Beverly Hills is not the most awful movie around, it was not up to her talent.
Most horrifying of all is when the troop tries to beat Velda's troop at selling cookies, and gives a street performance of a pop song especially written for them (it's all about cookies!).
For the most part, however, the send-ups of Beverly Hills life—the sexed-up novelist mother, Phyllis' unabashed politically incorrect smoking, and Freddy's dating younger woman—are usually not present in goofy kid-oriented comedies, and that's a plus.

 DVDFILE.COM: MISSING IN ACTION - Troop Beverly Hills
Her daughter's "Wilderness Girl" troop just lost another would-be leader (the girls are just too spoiled, too hard to manage) and her soon-to-be-ex has taken shine to a younger, more nubile lady, so Phyllis gathers her gumption and steps up to the plate.
But soon Phyllis and Co. incite the wrath of evil, butch troop leader Velda (played with scary relish by actress-turned-director Betty Thomas) and a war erupts.
Early film work like that is prime fodder for a $9.99/three flick DVD box set (her later work in the BRADY BUNCH movies and, hopefully, in the upcoming Robert Altman movie DR. T and THE WOMEN, prove that it's Long who's having the last laugh).
