Brighton Beach Memoirs

Its an awesome movie, especially for anyone that knows the area. The plot was good and it was basically an enjoyable movie.

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.

Not the best play/movie by Neil Simon.... or of this genre... I expected something like Radio Days by Woody Allen and I got Schmaltz Stories ... Not bad.. entertaining...

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

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!

Neil Simon is one of the greats and this explains why. He wasnt as prolific as Woody Allen but he hits it out of the ball park every single time. He was an innovator and ahead of his time with this piece--utilizing techniques of straight to camera and faux documentary that we take for granted now. Ive seen this a dozen times and it never loses its humor, poignancy and a certain sad nostalgia for a bygone era that is done without an ounce of sentimentality. The key scene between Blanche and her daughter Nora is dead on now and probably will be forever, because great writing transcends time. These are people experiencing the basic human things we all experience and that is what makes Simon one of the greats.

This is a great coming to age movie for guys. Very funny, you have to watch it!

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.

One of the best family movies Ive ever watched. Reminds me of my childhood days. The old days when life wasnt so complicated, and the family unit was still very important.

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.
