Featured review
Meh...
I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 1998 comedy drama "Slums of Beverly Hills" here in 2021. I had not ever heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it.
But I must say that seeing the cast ensemble for the movie, I figured that I would be in for something possibly great. So of course I sat down to watch "Slums of Beverly Hills" from writer and director Tamara Jenkins.
And while "Slums of Beverly Hills" was watchable, the movie's storyline and odd characters just fell slightly short of proving to be overly entertaining for my liking. Sure, this was a watchable movie, but it was by no means a grand moment in cinematic history. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
"Slums of Beverly Hills" does have a rather good ensemble of actors and actresses on the cast list, with the likes of Natasha Lyonne, Alan Arkin, Marisa Tomei, Jessica Walter and Kevin Corrigan.
My rating of this 1998 movie lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars.
