Brighton Beach Memoirs

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.

Love this movie

Funny

Will be most appreciated by Boomers but I found it is nostalgic, heartwarming and funny. I would definitely recommend.

One of Neil Simons absolutely brilliant flicks .. lots of humor .. great cast .. simply AWESOME !!

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

Life is definitely never dull with seven people living under the same roof Have enjoyed this movie for years watching it on TV whenever it was on... but has not been on TV for a long time now so was time to buy the DVD. Found no problems with the DVD at all, good quality for older film redone in Anamorphic Widescreen to fill the widescreen TV nicely without zooming in

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.

Film was excellent. In our senior household we were both extremely disappointed that this version was not closed captioned which resulted in us missing some of the fast moving dialogue. In the future how can we determine if a film we are purchasing is CC before we purchase?
