Brief Nudity

Review

Growing up poor in a neighborhood where all the other kids are blessed with obscene wealth is tough enough without your boobs suddenly sprouting to the size of your head. That’s just one of the obstacles (or, is it two?) addressed in Slums of Beverly Hills (1998). Written and directed by Tamara Jenkins, the quirky dramedy follows teenager Vivian Abromowitz (Natasha Lyonne), an alternately bemused and appalled heroine. Not only is she burdened by her sociopathic brother, the youthful cutie is dragged from one crappy apartment to another by her rent-skipping dad. When she’s not getting felt up while trying on brassieres, Vivian brings her blossoming bosom to the doctor’s office for a consultation. As she contemplates chest surgery, a physician takes a sharpie to her nude boobs. Yet due to some skinematic trickery, Ms. Lyonne’s ravishing rack actually belongs to a body double! The R rated movie also includes famous funny men (Alan Arkin, Carl Reiner, David Krumholtz) and a variety of lovely women (Mena Suvari, Jessica Walter, Rita Moreno). Of course, the performances of these alluring actresses pale compared to Marisa Tomei. As Vivian’s cousin Rita, Ms. Tomei’s relatively revealing role nearly pops off of the screen. This is especially true when Marisa struts her stuff in a barely-there bra with matching panties. If that’s not arousing enough, the sexy brunette sheds her threads to expose her wet breasts in the shower! Yet like Natasha, Marisa uses a stand-in. Too bad these slumming stars failed to share their Beverly Hills!
