Review of Slums of Beverly Hills (1998) by Tyler S — 13 Jan 2015
I loved this movie.
It has all the makings of a cult classic.....Good actors in a low budget off the wall comedy full of a good performances.
It's about a family who has little money who move from place to place living outside their means in Beverly Hills so their daughter can go to prestigious schools. They have an uncle Mickey a relative who pays their rent to live beyond their means in Beverly Hills and basically what they go through living outside their comfort zone and the things they encounter. You have Vivian played by Marisa tomei who escapes from rehab who is Mickeys daughter. In turn for him paying the family rent they watch after Vivian.
Al Arkin plays the father a 65 year old who refuses retirement. It's just fun to see what the family goes through. It's really good comic writing.
