Brighton Beach Memoirs

Combined families and their funny problems and quirks, humorous situations, and memories of shortages and conserving to make ends meet. Teen comming of age problems and Eugenes handling of them. All these make a very funny and entertaining movie. I think all would enjoy this very personal look at the way people lived near the end of the depression and early prewar 40s and how they coped with situations in their lives that arose. It is similar to the movie, Woody Allens, Radio Days. If you like family situation comedy, you will like this movie.

Very funny

this movie has ben around a whale. have seen it maney times. i have showed it to maaney times here. i live in a senior houseing .its because of the a place in time. late 30s end earley 40s.i don/t know if can ! but but there is another movie called (radio days) it is in same era but different producers. also avalabel both are great movies. good for all ages.young and (old)

The movie was in good condition as stated and arrived in a timely manner and was a gift for my mother who specifically requested this movie in a DVD so it was a win win!

I have watched this over and over ... fantastic.

The film is a well made version of the hit Broadway play, but it somehow loses the potency of seeing the play live on stage. It is difficult to pinpoint why this is, for the cast is excellent and much of the humor comes through, but the serious plight of the family struggling through the ills of the Great Depression fail to register as they did on stage.

This movies a keeper. I love the character of Jerome and his earnest desire to experience life while being part of a tight family.

Love the movie

New movie in new condition. Not the best movie ever made but I wanted it to see the story because Im doing the play. It served its purpose.
