> 3 dayThis is the first of two movies that are supposedly auto biographical for Neil Simon. Very good slice of life movie of a Jewish family just before WWII. Introducing Jonathan Silverman. Very enjoyable, lots of laughs and perhaps a cry.

> 3 dayJust 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayOne of the best family movies Ive ever watched. Reminds me of my childhood days. The old days when life wasnt so complicated, and the family unit was still very important.

> 3 dayI am very happy with my DVD copy of Neil Simons Brighton Beach Memoirs. I gave it to my Mother as a gift. She is 86 years old, and in her golden years, she likes to watch movies that have a good story line, and has good true old fashion values. I feel that every family should watch this movie and learn how to love and respect each other. Jim

> 3 dayNot as good as I remember it, but there were still good scenes and funny parts. I think it came across more as a play, and maybe it should have stayed on Broadway. I thought the acting was a little too theatrical and the characters were playing to a live audience. Its definitely a movie to watch again, but just not in the foreseeable future.
