The Slums of Beverly Hills

Posted on May 1, 1999May 10, 2022 by Village Vidiot

“The Slums of  Beverly Hills,” 1 May 1999, video.  Ok comedy with some very nice and funny bits about a Jewish family going from cheap apartment to cheap apartment, all to keep their Beverly Hills address. Weirdness about the daughter’s coming of age and sexuality (painful, if well played), and some very deep oddness about the failure of the father (Alan Arkin) and a deranged cousin (Marisa Tomeii). Worth seeing but a painful and sour comedy.
