  Daisy: I fucked up. Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.: Yeah... but you gave it a 100% effort!

  Between this and Now and Then I think have a teen girl drama fetish. I really feel for these sorts of situations, I don't know.

  CAST: Julia Roberts, Annabeth Gish, Lili Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, William R. Moses, Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Stroke, Matt Damon DIRECTED BY: Donald Petrie SUMMARY: Three teenage girls come of age while working at a pizza parlor in Mystic Connecticut. MY THOUGHTS: I haven't seen this movie in quite some time but caught it on t.v. last night. I still love it. It's a great chick flick. But Julia Roberts is my favorite in this film. Her and the relationship she has with rich boy Charles. But JoJo and Bill's relationship was quite entertaining as well. Just a fun movie about love, friendship, and moving on. Great watch. Give this 80's flick a chance if you haven't yet.

  Brassy and whipsmart. Julia Roberts, at her big-haired, smoldering best.

• Candy R

  My favorite Julia Roberts movie, when she was fresh and beautiful, before the machine took her over and "transformed" her. D'Onofrio's big break as well, and a step up role for Taylor. For my money, the one who stands out is Gish. She's not had the same kind of success as Roberts, but she should have. We shall see. Like Yogi says, "It ain't over till it's over."

  Fine romantic complications suffered by three girls working in pizza parlour. Julia Roberts is particularly so in this, her first starring role.

• Burger S

  
  Watch for a YOUNG Matt Damon.

  I've never ever really wanted to watch this film. I heard it was really good though, and decieded to give this film a shot. I had no idea what to expect in this film. I was never ever gonna think I was gonna see what I saw at all. Well, I just got to say that film had some really food acting. the cast showed quite a good range of emotion. They conveyed thier wide range of emotions with poise and skill. Julia Roberts who played a foul-mouthed female pizza server who feels she will be doing nothing but serving pizza for the rest of her life(as her boss says"The best pizza",who also wants to go after a rich guy, while her friend Katherine(played by Annabeth Gish)is bound for Yale in the upcoming fall semester. This is a film I like to call an "Indie" film. Well, cause it has limited fanfare, is different, and conveys on small town life, genuime romance, and normally is a feel-good movie, or a total depressing letdown. Let me tell you that this was a feel-good film. Can I ask a a question? Who ever knew Julia Roberts was so good at pool? I guess I know never to challenge her at a game of pool. I suck anyways, so I guess it wouldn't really matter anyways. Mystic Pizza is directed, well I rather say beautifully shot, and well edited. I think that this director(Donald Petrie) knew what he was doing. he came in with a plan. A game plan. He executed that game plan perfectly. I can tell you that any faults this film may have aren't from the director, or the great acting to say the least. Now while the screenplay seems rather impressive, you can sense that this film wants to be like every other predictable romance out there. It isn't though. It is so well acted, that they make you belive in it's story. It's message of free-spirit, and unrequited love, atleast that's what I think it was trying to convey. Now you also went to sense chemistry in the romance between Julia and the guy she is attracted to. You really do sense the love they have for each other. The attraction is most definately there. Oh, sure for a film I never really wanted to watch, I got alot to say. Well, it was enganging, and I got into it. I liked it. Maybe this is just one of thos touchy-feely, cheesy romance movies only select moviegoers can enjoy. I don't know, I would agree it is rather bit of a female movie, but unlike "The Notebook", it isn't all romance, sex, and fairytale love. It had every thing makes a movie ring sound. Seem belivebale and realilistic. It really exceeded my expectations. " Fantastic performances, in a beautifully shot film, turn this seemingly predictable romance script into a movie that seems all to real and believable." Trust me on this one. Watch it with a loved one. Watch it when your in a bad mood. It will lift your spirit high. Hey you never know what could be making everyone enjoy this film. Could it be what they put in the sauce?

  This movie is really good. All the characters are great and memorable. It's neat to watch an early Julia Roberts performance, who was already showing great promise way back then.

• Miriam K

  
  If you want to see some early work of some famous faces. . . this would be good for you. . .

  It's ok. Funny and cute at times. Nothing overall great. I thought Matt Damon had a bigger part in it though.

• Sunil J

  
  Slow moving 80s movie that isn't really that interesting.

• Sarah B

  
  So so sisterhood romcom. Passes the time.

  Not by any means an award-winning movie, but I liked it nonethless.
