... a regularly funny and at times affecting movie that captures, if not always successfully, the kind of back-and-forth of any ordinary family.

The stage version of Brighton Beach Memoirs seemed much more alive than this film.

Nothing in "Brighton Beach Memoirs" really catches fire; all seems compounded of old radio family sitcoms -- a thick impasto of easy humor and crushing sentimentality.

...a deliberately-paced yet mostly compelling drama...
