Slums of Beverly Hills Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Funny, well acted comedy from a new director whose career shuld be watched
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
...a slight movie but a brave one
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Uneven but filled with flashes of painful insight into the pitfalls awaiting adolescent girls.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Though hypocritical in the way it sensationalizes sexuality, this serious and funny 1998 movie about a 15-year-old coming to terms with her body and her family in 1976 is, refreshingly, never coy or ironic.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Aside from Corrigan, there is nothing that I can recommend about it.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What lifts this brash comedy above the vulgar herd is Tamara Jenkins in a heartfelt feature debut as writer and director.
Los Angeles Times
Jack Mathews
Generally Jenkins shows few rookie jitters, and she got excellent performances from the rest of her cast.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A hilarious comedy that never strains to be funny.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Basically I enjoyed Slums of Beverly Hills -- for the wisecracking, for the family squabbles, for the notion of squatters who stake a claim in a Beverly Hills where money, after all, is not the only currency.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
All of [the cast members], especially Ms. Lyonne and Mr. Arkin, project a crazy sincerity that turns this personal and nostalgic comedy into a very true story indeed.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A very funny and well-acted comedy about the slings and arrows of outrageous adolescence.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
The best-written comedy I've seen since The Opposite of Sex.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
Dark, bitingly funny!
Boston Globe
Coming-of-age films don't get any warmer, funnier, raunchier, or more endearing than Tamara Jenkins's brightly feisty memoir, 'Slums of Beverly Hills'.
