Brighton Beach Memoirs

Just as I remembered it when it first came out. Many laughs and many truly great lessons in this Neil Simon masterpiece. If I had just a few movies this would be one of them.

So glad I watched it again. Just as great today as it was so many years ago. Terrific movie.

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...

Funny

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.

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

Wonderful movie, 1930s Brooklyn family struggling to mke ends meet in face of WW II looming Well acted excellent script.

One of my favorite all-time movies. Had it at one time. It disappeared. Needed another one. Can watch it over and over.

Neil Simon was very astute in his observations when writing this book. The experiences of a nieve young fellows army induction and training in the final months of WWII. I can readily relate to his sudden exposure to the real world and finding it necessary to grow up fast!. This movie is not really for mothers and grandmothers, but fathers and brothers should find it interesting.

One of the best movies ever! So glad to find it in a DVD.
