Brighton Beach Memoirs [VHS]

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

Very enjoyable film. Casting was on-target!

One of my favourites!

Funny, poignant, down to earth. Just the way I remember it.... Good Stuff.

Back in the day I taped this off HBO and our family watched it over and over. Funny and heartwarming. This was Jonathan Silvermans debut and he is great as the teenage Jewish kid growing up in Brooklyn in the years before WWII. The family deals with their personal conflicts and social issues, but there isnt anything preachy about the message. The ensemble cast turns in a wonderful performance and the writing is, well, Neil Simon. Translated beautifully on the big screen.

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.

having watched the movie more times than i can remember i couldnt wait to read the book. i was not disappointed. watch the movie,read the book, period.

I would actually give it 6 stars, if that were possible, because, its that good.

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...

Hey there is nothing like a good Eugene Morris Jerome movie that will have you in tears laughing. The relationship between Jonathan Silverman and his mother in the movie, Blythe Danner is truly fantastic.
