Brighton Beach Memoirs

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

I purchased this movie for myself! Very good movie! Excellent story!

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?

DVD works fine

Combined families and their funny problems and quirks, humorous situations, and memories of shortages and conserving to make ends meet. Teen comming of age problems and Eugenes handling of them. All these make a very funny and entertaining movie. I think all would enjoy this very personal look at the way people lived near the end of the depression and early prewar 40s and how they coped with situations in their lives that arose. It is similar to the movie, Woody Allens, Radio Days. If you like family situation comedy, you will like this movie.

Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s. A teenaged boys anxiety to get older makes a great story. Comedy, and touching moments make this a good one. Great movie by Neil Simon.

Love this movie! The first movie in the set of Neil Simon movies, sometimes called the Eugene Series, this is the best one. Eugene Jerome is such a funny kid! All the characters in this movie are fabulous and memorable. I can watch this over and over! I must say that even though Matthew Broderick plays Eugene in Biloxi Blues (2nd in series), and he is a bigger star, Jonathan Silverman will always be Eugene Jerome to me!

I love this movie. It is humorous and shows a much simpler time. Also I definitely see where Ferris Beuller may have taken some techniques from this movie such as the main charachter talking to the audience.

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.

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