Brighton Beach Memoirs

Great film of a gentler time and an ordinary Brooklyn family

Loved this movie

Reminds you of that forgotten time. All the actors are fit for their parts. We have watched it for at least 10 times. It is that good.

A movie all about love of family in an unsettled time. Funny and absolutely correct, with outstanding characters.

Love the mivie

This is a classic favorite of mine and Ive watched it too many times to count. A look into a typical family during that time period. Always makes me smile. Actually this is the second copy I purchased. I wore out the first! Enjoy.

The Weequahic section of Newark N.J. is where I was raised prior to, and after World War Two. This film is about me. A mirror image of my youth during a wonderful time. Neil Simon is the best story teller ever. I never get tired of watching this work

Ive watched this many times. I have mostly noted its humor, but when I recently re-watched it I was much more aware of how much sadness is also captured in this film. For both reasons, it is very well done.

Will be most appreciated by Boomers but I found it is nostalgic, heartwarming and funny. I would definitely recommend.

This was our first viewing of the three Neil Simon Trilogies based on his life. My wife and I greatly enjoyed it. We watched it the first time in the privacy of our home without anyone else with us. When we took it to some lady friends home to share it with them, The 60 year old was offended by some of the subject matter, but overall enjoyed it we think, and the other friend in her who is 69 really enjoyed it and laughed most of the way through the movie. I gave it a four star instead of the five I really wanted to give it, because the movie does have some subject matter that is of human nature but yet offensive to some people. For that reason, I would not recommend it to be viewed by small children or youth.
