Leave your thoughts about Brighton Beach Memoirs.
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinNeil Simon is hardly Norman Rockwell, but his Brighton Beach Memoirs has a warmly nostalgic quality, something that has traveled very nicely to the screen...A film of surprisingly gentle charms. Mr. Simon's humor is much in evidence, but it is not the film's strongest selling point. Even more effective are the sense of a place and a way of life long vanished and the care and affection with which they have been summoned up. |
| Common Sense MediaGrace MontgomeryPoignant portrayal of puberty has sexual content, profanity. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioBrighton Beach Memoirs (written by Neil Simon from his hit play) is a regularly funny and at times affecting movie that captures, if not always successfully, the kind of back-and-forth of any ordinary family. And what makes it most powerful, perhaps, is the knowledge that the family is, at least in part, drawn from Simon's own. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonBrighton Beach Memoirs may be one of Simon’s best plays, but the film’s heart seems to be beating in a plastic wrapper. There’s a kind of glace over everything, a sugary show-biz coat that dulls your taste buds. Everything is bigger, brighter and broader than it should be--though remnants of that simpler, more honest story often peek through. |
| Bangitout.comJordan HillerThe general measure of audience enjoyment for a film based on Simon has everything to do with one's tolerance for the playwright. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie feels so plotted, so constructed, so written, that I found myself thinking maybe they shouldn't have filmed the final draft of the screenplay. Maybe there was an earlier draft that was a little disorganized and unpolished, but still had the jumble of life in it. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrBrighton Beah, curiously, still doesn`t work on film, perhaps because movies have no use for stagecraft, no matter how brilliant it may be. Once there`s no practical reason to keep the action restricted to a single set --movies, of course, can go anywhere--Simon`s strategic skills come to seem superfluous, if not an actual liability. |
| User ReviewKeri MHilarious! I cried just watching it. It was ssssoooo funny! |
| User Reviewdr G"You can't get fired temporarily!" |
| User Reviewelziard bThis film makes me laugh every time...The favorite of the 3 Semi-Biographical Plays adapted to film Comedies which constitute Simon's "Eugene Trilogy." |
