Summary: A Pointless Ride to Nowhere
Review: Not much to say, except I'm glad I caught this on cable instead of renting it. The only good thing about this movie is Alan Arkin who steals every scene he is in, he continues to be one of the most overlooked actors of all time. The film just has a dirty, creepy feel to it and really accomplishes nothing in it's two hours except for the contempt you feel for having wasted 2 perfectly good hours on this...

Summary: ...And it had so much potential...
Review: I read the reviews and saw that several people absolutely loved this movie. I thought that it sucked. It was supposed to be a comedy, but it only ended up being about a girl who is thinking about getting her breasts reduced. It could have been better, and I loved the cast, but the story line was just TERRIBLE!

Summary: Strange movie
Review: The best parts of this movie were when Eli Marienthal was running around the apt. in his underwear. He's incredibly cute at that age and funny too. Watch for him in "Tucker", starting soon on NBC.

Summary: The nomads of Beverly Hills
Review: Movies that involve unemployment, divorce, incest, drug abuse, and, worst of all, coming-of-age plotlines, tend to strike me as a recipe for a depressing cinematic disaster. This movie, though, is hilarious and invigorating. Every one of the people in this film has the potential to be really obnoxious, and they end up very human.All of the performances are terrific, and the character's problems are compelling. Kevin Corrigan, standing around in his Manson t-shirt, is hilarious. Most of their characters end up with some sort of dignity in the end, and that's what matters.

Summary: Simply Hilarious!
Review: Slums of Beverly Hills is one of the funnier movies about coming of age that I have seen. Natasha Lyonne has all the spunky tomboy qualities you would expect in a young woman growing up in a household (so to speak) with all males. Marisa Tomei is hilarious as her strung-out cousin. I don't believe that the youngest boy had a crush on the older, as a previous review said. He just looked up to him. Their nomadic lifestyle makes them quirky. The funniest scenes are the infamous vibrator one and the one with Uncle Mickey. It's a coming of age story mixed with wit and sexual experimentation.

Summary: A slice of life
Review: This movie is a slice of life. Not pretty life, not life as portrayed in movies but REAL(TM) Life! If you've read the other reviews, I won't bore you with the details. However, do not expect this movie to be a comedy like Animal House. The funny moments there are to relieve the tension of this semi-documentary comedy. Regardless of your take and preferences, you cannot but root for the characters in their struggle with daily life and growing up. It's not an "entertaining" movie, it's more cerebral. If you don't like to think, don't get it.

Summary: Lame
Review: There are talented actors wasted here on a lame script. Lame because it has nothing to say and even less to make one laugh. Sure there are laughs to be had, but for the most part it's just plain, poor taste masquerading as something in your face clever. If attendance is anything to judge by theatergoers gave this one a miss. It opened in August 1988, at 540 theatres and grossed so far $5m (so there won't be a sequel!)
Rating:
Summary: Excellent Movie!
Review: I've seen this movie three times. It's a very funny slice of life comedy. Good writing and acting. All the people who only gave this 1 or 2 stars wouldn't know a good movie if they tripped over it!
