Brighton Beach Memoirs

Summary: A Comedy-Drama Masterpiece
Review: Five stars for the story; four stars for the DVD only because I cannot fathom why - with all the advancing technology and options available - any DVD theatrical release would not be offered in a wide-screen format. Otherwise this has to be the best Neil Simon work I have ever seen. Although I am from a much newer generation, I could identify easily with many of the characters, both from similar personal experiences, and from the culture within which I was raised. I would highly recommend this film, but only to true drama fans (of any age) and to older generations who have lived the times portrayed in this delightful romp. There is mild adult content, so be wary if you allow your young teens to watch. This is one of those rare classics that never received the publicity it deserved on the big screen; but then it can only appeal to a certain audience. If you feel like going out on a limb and watching something different or you want to conjure up old memories of yester-year, then by all means watch this film and enjoy!

Summary: so good to see this back!
Review: I have seen BOTH vhs and dvd versions of this classic and i pick the vhs version hands down. the audio on the dvd is pathetic! I bought the dvd and the color is sepia-like. Tell universal to keep vhs alive. It IS superior.

Summary: Family Fun for all!
Review: I loved this movie. I had to watch it a few times to get the gist of it. But once I did, it became one of my top 10 cult classics. Jonathon Silverman is so funny. Just hearing Blythe Danner scream "Eugene" is enough to make me laugh. This is in the same category with "A Christmas Story" (about the BB gun). I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS MOVIE. NEIL SIMON IS A GENIUS. After you watch this movie, see the sequel "Biloxi Blues" with Matthew Broadrick.

Summary: Eugene Morris Jerome
Review: I was cast as Eugene (I'm 15) In our highschool show of Brighton Beach. When I first read the script I fell in love with it, it is an AWESOME script. At the end of our performance the audience cheered loudly, they loved it. I then purchased this film, and it was amazing. It's a wonderful story, wonderful acting, and very touching. "It's called the unbelievable, fantastic, and completely private thoughts of I Eugene Morris Jerome, In this, the fifteenth year of his life, in the year ninteen-hundred thirty-seven, in the community of Brighton Beach, Burrow of Brooklyn, Kings County, City of New York, EMPIRE STATE of the American Nation".

Summary: From Stag to Screen
Review: If this was the first time I had ever seen "Brighton Beach Memoirs" I might be impressed, but it's not so I'm not. I saw the play on stag and I have to say that is so much better in real life. The movie really wasn't that bad, but the stag will always be my first love.

Summary: A warm and funny portrayal
Review: This film is, without a doubt, one of my favorites. I think the film is well cast, for the most part, and that the chemistry between Danner and Silverman was very genuine in terms of a mother-son relationship. The script is warm and funny and the sets were well done. All in all, I would say that this is a film that any fan of Niel Simon's work should have in their library.
