London Suite [Neil Simon’s London Suite] * (1996, Kelsey Grammer, Michael Richards, Julia Louis-Dreyfus) – Classic Movie Review 8021
A very good cast is dreadfully wasted in director Jay Sandrich’s naff, turgid and woeful 1996 comedy London Suite, an adaptation of Neil Simon’s follow-up to his hilarious plays and films California Suite and Plaza […]

Brighton Beach Memoirs **** (1986, Blythe Danner, Jonathan Silverman, Bob Dishy, Brian Drillinger, Stacey Glick, Judith Ivey) – Classic Movie Review 2006
Infuriatingly, Matthew Broderick doesn’t get to recreate his superb Broadway performance as Eugene Morris Jerome, the young teenage son of a Jewish family through whose eyes we see the typically Woody Allen-style family squabbles and […]
Biloxi Blues **** (1988, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Matt Mulhern) – Classic Movie Review 1998
Director Mike Nichols films in 1988 the second part of Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical play trilogy which were such hits on the Broadway stage. Warm, funny and witty, it’s a splendid wise-cracking character- and situation-driven comedy. As usual, […]
