Nifty Little Movie That Never Got Much Attention
THE SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS (3 outta 5 stars) I figured this was going to be just another silly movie about the trials and tribulations of spoiled rich kids in Cali. Actually it’s a pretty good coming-of-age story circa 1976. Vivian (Natasha Lyonne) has just grown breasts and now considers herself deformed. Her dad (Alan Arkin) is a divorced man of almost-retirement-age who has never been able to provide a stable home for his kids and keep dragging them from place to place like nomads (and presumably keeping one step ahead of bill collectors). One brother is a struggling actor and the other is too young to really fit in anywhere. In a desperate attempt to make ends meet Arkin takes in his troubled 29 year old niece (Marisa Tomei), charging his rich brother a fee for keeping an eye on her. So they all move into a small, cheap Beverly Hills apartment block and try to cope. Very funny moments… punctuated by some heavy drama and some unexpected twists. One of the better roles that Alan Arkin had had in recent years… proving that he hasn’t lost his touch as he’s gotten older (unlike many other comic actors of his generation). I have never been much of a fan of Marisa Tomei but I liked her a lot in this movie. The scenes of her and Lyonne conversing in their “secret language” are priceless!

A good movie
This is an interesting film about a teenage girl whose “nomadic family” is constantly moving around to different motels so that the kids can attend better schools. Watching it for the first time, I got the impression the kids didn’t go to school at all; that they were on the run or something. The lack of budget shows in this way: there are no scenes set in a school, just motels and restaurants. The kids may not in fact be stuck in these locations all the time, but the movie makes it seem that they are.

The performances, however, are fantastic, and make you wonder why Natasha Lyonne didn’t have a bigger career. She is lovable and fantastic and makes you realise Lyonne deserved more than being known as the other girl from American Pie. Tomei is also great, as always, as the free spirited older cousin.

I could’ve done without the embarrassing schlub older brother and the bratty younger one. Broad archetypes only there to show how embarrassing Lyonne’s family is.

I also did not understand a certain decision she made in regard to another male toward the end of the movie (Kevin Corrigan, as the love interest, is a refreshingly three dimensional character when love interests are usually just clichés in movies like this). Lyonne chooses to accept her nomadic family. Good for her I… guess?
