Brighton Beach Memoirs

Neil Simon was very astute in his observations when writing this book. The experiences of a nieve young fellows army induction and training in the final months of WWII. I can readily relate to his sudden exposure to the real world and finding it necessary to grow up fast!. This movie is not really for mothers and grandmothers, but fathers and brothers should find it interesting.

This is not a review of the film. I ordered this DVD with standard shipping and it arrived two days later--ahead of schedule! This company processes and ships their orders very quickly. Although I purchased the DVD as used it came in shrink wrap and contained no scratches. It was as if it had never been open or even watched. The quality of the used DVD was like that of a brand new DVD. I highly recommended this companys used products since they must be very well taken care of. The DVD played perfectly in the DVD player. There was not any skipping or pauses (which would indicate scratching). This company processes and ships quickly and their used products arrive as if they were brand new. I highly recommend ordering from this company since the quality was brillant!

An old time favorite of mine from about 25 years ago. Exactly the same movie I saw then, and not the play version. I love it. Thank you.

Combined families and their funny problems and quirks, humorous situations, and memories of shortages and conserving to make ends meet. Teen comming of age problems and Eugenes handling of them. All these make a very funny and entertaining movie. I think all would enjoy this very personal look at the way people lived near the end of the depression and early prewar 40s and how they coped with situations in their lives that arose. It is similar to the movie, Woody Allens, Radio Days. If you like family situation comedy, you will like 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

I got the movie really fast and was it played really good also, I brought it in to work to watch while on lunch break in my office then I took it home and watched it at least twice. Im sure its time to watch it again

Love this movie. Was hard to find thanks for having it. Love the script

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.

This is a movie I shared with friends who enjoyed the the story behind this time peace. View this movie numerous times, considered on my top ten list.

Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s. A teenaged boys anxiety to get older makes a great story. Comedy, and touching moments make this a good one. Great movie by Neil Simon.
