Common Sense Media Says:

Talky '90s romance; kids may be "just not into" it.

Synopsis

A high-school reunion in a snowy New England town brings together a diverse band of former classmates. They include NYC pianist Willie Timothy Hutton who has found only small success playing night clubs and is considering taking a job as a supply salesman. While in town, Willie, who is having relationship problems with his girlfriend, finds himself becoming friends with 13 year-old Marty Natalie Portman. Then there's Tommy Matt Dillon, the aging jock who though seriously involved with Sharon Mira Sorvino, cannot resist the occasional walk down memory lane by sleeping with the former prom-queen Darian Lauren Holly, who is married but believes that her husband won't find out. Paul Michael Rapaport is dumped by his waitress girlfriend Jan Martha Plimpton, in part because of the swimsuit-clad supermodels plastered all over his walls. Paul then becomes attracted to Andera Uma Thurman, who is visiting her cousin Stinky Pruitt Taylor Vince, a local tavern owner. Also among the group -- Gina Rosie O'Donnell, who fancies herself a feminist counselor and who, in one of the film's highlights, delivers a poignant rant against how magazines present unrealistic images of women. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

One of the Best Romantic Comedies Ever

Posted by: from Texas on 04/15/2013A great ensemble cast in a fantastic dramatic romantic comedy. One of Natalie Portman's first roles, and she is absolutely superb.

Posted by: from NH on 04/13/2013One of my favorites but the the audio is only 2.0 and the picture quality is serviceable but is light years better than the previous non-anamorphic dvd. But for 5.99 I can't really complain as the story and strong cast more than make up for any technical deficiencies. If you are a fan of this movie buy it.

Posted by: from Hazleton, PA on 04/12/2013Beautiful Girls, directed by the late Ted Demme. Isn't your average high school reunion film. Chock full of great 90's actors and some great up and comers, you won't be disappointed.
