The latest flick in Dave’s Drive-in is the great Slums of Beverly Hills. If you liked Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine, you’ll love this 1998 performance. The movie also features a funny performance by David Krumholtz (of Numbers fame) and Natasha Lyonne and Marisa Tomei.
The movie was written and directed by Tamara Jenkins who is getting much recognition for her latest movie, The Savages.
