Slums of Beverly Hills (1998)
Set in 1976, this film follows the misfortunes of financial failure Murray
Abramowitz (Alan Arkin), a single divorced father, as he tries to squeeze
himself and three kids into a one-bedroom apartment so that the kids can
attend school in Beverly Hills. Vivian (Natasha Lyonne) is his 15-year-old
daughter who discovers adolescence the hard way. If there is any possibility
for ambarrassment- and her exceptional breast development makes that a forgone
conclusion-she will find it. A wise-cracking, tough talking, surprisingly
practical woman, Vivian is put in charge of her daffy cousin Rita (Marisa
Tomei), who joins the family fresh out of rehab and just a teensy bit pregnant.
