Brighton Beach Memoirs

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

We have watched this movie so often and love it so much we had to purchase the DVD. Its a great interpretation of the Broadway play and a good family story.

Love the work of Neil Simon. Saw this movie on cable a couple years back and remembered it so fondly. It is as sweet as I remembered. Have loaned it to friends and they are now in pursuit of Simons work.

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.

Not as good as I remember it, but there were still good scenes and funny parts. I think it came across more as a play, and maybe it should have stayed on Broadway. I thought the acting was a little too theatrical and the characters were playing to a live audience. Its definitely a movie to watch again, but just not in the foreseeable future.

Have seen this movie several times, and I never get tired of seeing it, its one of those feel good movies, makes you laugh!!

DVD works fine

I used to watch this with my mom as a kid. Gave you some insight of what the old days living in to 1900’s was.

The movie was in good condition as stated and arrived in a timely manner and was a gift for my mother who specifically requested this movie in a DVD so it was a win win!

I have watched this over and over ... fantastic.
