Movie Reviews of Down and Out in Beverly Hills
Movie Review: Richard,Bette and Nick deliver Oscar-worthy performances!
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Dreyfuss,Bette Midler and Nick Nolte deliver Oscar-worthy performances in this 1986 Buena Vista comedy about a wealthy couple(Dreyfuss and Midler) who take in a homeless man(Nolte). Beverly Hills factory worker Dreyfuss spots Jerry,the homeless man,one day while driving to work. Outspoken Midler refused to welcome Jerry but with her husband's persuasion,she reverses her decision. Bearded Jerry is shaved down to a moustache and he begins to enjoy his new life in the Beverly Hills mansion he now shares with the couple. One memorable scene is where a party is thrown and Little Richard Penniman,as himself,provides music on the piano(like he does professionally). Jerry ends up fed up living in the mansion that he decides to return to vagabond life. That decision is later reversed. Director Paul Mazursky is a very good friend of Dreyfuss's and Midler's and in fact,they,on separate occasions,would do more films together(MOON OVER PARADOR starring Dreyfuss and SCENES FROM A MALL starring Woody Allen and Midler).
Summary of Down and Out in Beverly Hills
DOWN & OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS - DVD MovieThis hilarious Hollywood retelling of the classic Jean Renoir French farce Boudu Saved from Drowning emerges as a wry commentary on society's excess and has distinguished itself as an instant classic. Paul Mazursky (Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice) directs and Nick Nolte (Cape Fear, The Prince of Tides) stars as a vagrant who decides to kill himself by jumping into the swimming pool of rich wire-hanger magnate Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, The Goodbye Girl). Dreyfuss takes the bum into his dysfunctional home and soon Nolte and his murky past are causing everyone, from Dreyfuss's wife (Bette Midler) to his maid and mistress (Elizabeth Peña) to reexamine their own lives. Featuring a neurotic dog, an anorexic daughter, a sexually confused son, and Little Richard as a neighbor, this riotous household and its strange yet sympathetic inhabitants are the ingredients for one of the freshest, funniest comedies in years. --Robert Lane
