Janine Turner, best known for her recurring role as Maggie in Northern Exposure , is as stiff as a board. Teen actors Erik von Detten and Adam Zolotin are largely unconvincing. And young Cameron Finley, who plays the title character, gets high marks for cuteness, but isn't a particularly strong actor. Fans of Leave it to Beaver will undoubtedly enjoy this movie more than I did. About the best thing I can say about Leave it to Beaver is that it's innocuous.
Some people find that to be a positive quality.
Personally, it's about the last thing I look for in a movie. And, while Leave it to Beaver may not be one of the worst films of the year, I certainly won't be recommending it to anyone. It's just another television series that is diminished by the transition to the big screen.
