Brighton Beach Memoirs

Loved this movie

This without a doubt is Neil Simons best work ever. Only people in their 70s can appreciate the the feel and the way life was back before World War II. Why Blythe Danner didnt win an academy award for her performance I can only say their is no justice. The boy that played Eugene is exactly like young boys were in those days... Movies like this would not entertain young people today. They are too restless, Too technology possessed, too into themselves to care about anybody else. Parents today have no control over their children, its the children controlling the parents

New movie in new condition. Not the best movie ever made but I wanted it to see the story because Im doing the play. It served its purpose.

How nice to find a delightful entertaining movie that has a great story line and excellent acting. I will share this movie with many who will after watching it will feel they have laughed and can relate with those simplier times in our lives. thanks so much for bringing good movies to dvd.

This Neil Simon biopic is witty, affectionate, touching and a lovely peek into a brilliant adolescents head. It also captures the end of one era and the start of another.

One of the best movies I have ever purchased. Jonathan Silverman shines; Judith Ivey is wonderful as his squawking aunt. She is a great actress in any movie she has ever been in ~ and her performance in Brighton Beach Memoirs is outstanding. You can really understand her brother-in-law wanting her out of the house. I never tire of watching this one.

Loved this ! Have seen it years ago and just loved it. It is so funny and a cute movie too.

I have watched Brighton Beach Memoirs many times on tv. Takes place during WWII. It takes us back to the times when earning a living was hard and in this case even harder for the Jerome family because a sister-in-law and her two daughters lived with the Jeromes because she was a widow. The antics of Eugene, the younger Jermone son, are comical. The father works at a job cutting out raincoats and selling party favors. Then he loses both jobs and depends on the older brother Stanley to help out but Stanley has lost his job until he makes a written apology to his boss. Then the father has a heart attack but survives. The mother is constantly sending Eugene to the store for small purchases such as one stick of butter or one pound of sugar. Eugene makes his funny comments which could be considered backtalk but its done in a funny way. The older son repairs the radio so the dad can listen to the news because he is fearful of his relatives making it out of Poland safely. In the end a lot of the problems are worked out and everyone is happy because the relatives are coming to New York and they start making plans about where everyone will sleep. Bob Dishy,Blythe Danner,Judith Ivey, Jonathan Silverman are the actors I most remember but all the actors involved did a really good job. I would recommend this movie. Also this movie is close captioned which was very important for me.

Funny, and the price was good. Saw it years ago and just had to see it again.

received move quickly, movie works great and I have nothing that I dont like, so thank you.
