Brighton Beach Memoirs

Very enjoyable film. Casting was on-target!

Great movie. Glad it was on bluray.

Great movie

A movie all about love of family in an unsettled time. Funny and absolutely correct, with outstanding characters.

Funny

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 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.

Such a great movie...it is about a Jewish family in New York, in the late 1930s, and it is so poignant and heartwarming and funny....there are 2 teenaged sons coming of age so there is language and sexual references between the brothers, but because of the context, within the story, I did not find it offensive as I generally would... I had seen it years ago, and it was a delight to see it again...

fun watch. Offers a fine perspective without burning my feet to get there.

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.
