Brighton Beach Memoirs

I love this movie! An engrossing comedy with great realism. Makes you appreciate the ups and downs of teenage years. Even though the setting is the 1930s, this story would be funny and rewarding in any generation.

The film is a well made version of the hit Broadway play, but it somehow loses the potency of seeing the play live on stage. It is difficult to pinpoint why this is, for the cast is excellent and much of the humor comes through, but the serious plight of the family struggling through the ills of the Great Depression fail to register as they did on stage.

It was listed with baseball movies. This is very much a stretch. One scene has the star playing catch.

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

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.

So good!

Love the movie

This was our first viewing of the three Neil Simon Trilogies based on his life. My wife and I greatly enjoyed it. We watched it the first time in the privacy of our home without anyone else with us. When we took it to some lady friends home to share it with them, The 60 year old was offended by some of the subject matter, but overall enjoyed it we think, and the other friend in her who is 69 really enjoyed it and laughed most of the way through the movie. I gave it a four star instead of the five I really wanted to give it, because the movie does have some subject matter that is of human nature but yet offensive to some people. For that reason, I would not recommend it to be viewed by small children or youth.

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.

Funny
