Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Paul Mazursky hasn't only remade Jean Renoir's sublime 1931 Boudu Saved From Drowning: he's yuppified it, inverting virtually every meaning until the film becomes a celebration of the crassest kind of materialism.

Let me just say that Down and Out in Beverly Hills made me laugh longer and louder than any film I've seen in a long time.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
As a comedy of manners it has a dependably keen aim, with its most wicked barbs leavened by Mr. Mazursky's obvious fondness for his characters.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
Although it is more of a comedy of manners than a well-developed story, there are enough yocks and bright moments to make it a thoroughly enjoyable outing.

On the basically farcical level where it chooses to stay, it is a funny and likable movie.
