Review of Beautiful Girls (1996) by Kevin R — 08 Jan 2015

I can't be your Pooh.

A group of middle aged buddies in small town upstate New York haven't done much with their life since graduating high school. They still hang out at the local bar, hook up with the local ladies, and fail to settle down or understand why they can't. As their high school reunion approaches, several of the fellas decide it's time to make something of themselves.

"He's into male contraceptives, which is good for a change.".

Ted Demme, director of Blow, Life, The Ref, Who's the Man, Monument Ave, and episodes of the television series Yo! MTV Raps, delivers Beautiful Girls. The storyline for this picture is perfectly done and I loved all the characters, the script, the interaction between characters, and the acting. I thought it all fit together perfectly. The cast is awesome in this film and contains Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Matt Dillon, Rosie O'Donnell, Timothy Hutton, Lauren Holly, Michael Rapaport, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Mira Sorvino.

"You've been eating retard sandwiches again.".

I grabbed this off Netflix because it stars my all time favorite actress, Natalie Portman. I had also heard very positive things about this picture from a friend. I honestly couldn't believe how much I was compelled by this film. There was some great lines and fantastic character development in this film. I would honestly consider buying this.

"They're all sisters.".

Grade: A.
