Hello David here from Sebring Florida USA I been a movie buff for over fifty years and R and G were way off! This movie is fantastic! So well done! It is a must see I would not recommend for family viewing, Unless we are ready to talk to your teenagers about adult subjects 😊
I love this movie. Loved it since I was 15, almost 49 now. I watch it at least once a month. I know every line by heart. I don't agree with these two gentlemen but hey to each it's own. Opinions are like ass holes; everyone has one.
Wow. This is the only time in which I'm in complete disagreement with them both. I loved *BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS.* No, I didn't see the play. I just took this film for what it was. And for me, it was thoughtful, intelligent, real, and funny as hell.
So so wrong on so many levels. This movie was perfection. Perfectly casted, acted and directed. But I guess I'm no movie critic. S&E has reviewed some of my most favorite films so negatively. I would love to see the play, but comparing a movie to a play is like comparing a movie to a book; the book will always be better.
Did Siskel not have a childhood? I adored this movie as a preteen in the 80s and loved it since. I don't care if it's "one long whine" b/c that's what adolescence is about, and the dialogue is snappy and funny. It's a charmer of a movie--Silverman's great but I don't know why Broderick didn't get the lead in this one. He'd already had Wargames under his belt by then.
This is why I never listen to "critics" when they review a film. Everything they hated about this movie I thoroughly enjoyed and loved. This is one of my all-time favorite movies and my philosophy is that nine times out of ten if they think a movie is so bad, then it's a great one. I liked watching these two but job or not, they overthink and read too much into these films.
They're two different pieces of art. I don't agree with either of these two nutballs. This movie quickly became a classic and Jonathan Silverman did a great Eugene....
This review is awful. They hate Jonathan Silverman. Um I guess that they don't know that when Mathew Broderick left the Broadway play Jonathan Silverman took over the roll. And actually did more performances than Broderick did. And to rave reviews I might add.
Ironic that movie was great and the review was boring, wrong, poorly cast with nagging characters. It just missed the mark with me, don't waste your time. Effin critics, never could stand these two stiffs.

This is one of my favorite movies!!
Me too!
This movie is fantastic!😀
I liked it. So much for critics..
This movie rocked. I loved it when it first came out. Never saw the play.
The play is pretty much the same, although in the play there is a scene between the 2 sisters that is interesting. It isn't here.
I've seen the play and the movie and I loved both and still love both.
They gave Jonathan Silverman nothing for his terrific debut, he was good throughout this movie and has a very likable quality, I loved the movie.
And i think they are totally wrong , i loved every thing about the movie !
I agree 😊

I never saw this one, but I did enjoy its sequel "Biloxi Blues".
I thought the movie was hilarious. Never saw the play.
This is one of the most snobby reviews they ever gave.

Gene Siskel is MELTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think if you see the play, you'll see the difference.
the play spoiled the movie for both of them.they shouldn't compare. the movie was great and remains great and I would highly recommend it

I actually watch this movie a couple of times a month. What the f*** are these two talking about?
I didn't see the play.
I love this movie! guess I need to see the play now.
...did they have interest in the play or what?
Yeah, see the play. It is great.
Critics suck. Often times they can’t measure the average person’s bonding with characters or story.

ncisducky4ever Well, if you did see the play, you might see how it works better on the stage.
ncisducky4ever if I agreed with you anymore I would be you
They keep comparing the play to the movie and that’s their mistake right there. The movie was good, they were wrong. That’s all there is.
+Tony Caban Amen
Lol no comparison. Ya ok.
It isn't a great movie but not bad.

"rave reviews"?? 😊 Broderick won a Tony Award...where's your proof on Silverman ??
