One of my favorite movies of all time! "Goodnight sweet girl". The are so many unbelievable actors in this movie, its a must see!!

Good movie, lots of good actors in it.

Very watchable 90's slice of Americana small town life dramedy thanks to relatable characters & a potent, witty script. Well acted, especially Portman who is outstanding amongst this cast of veterans. Her scenes with Hutton are poignant & heartbreakingly touching, real but never vulgar or crude, capturing the innocence and frustration of teenage angst & crushes.

i liked the tim hutton, annabeth gish and natalie portman storyline other than that thier have been episodes of friends alot better than this

Fantastic movie, love everything and everyone in it. NRJ.

A carefully directed little rom-com featuring an all-star cast.

If an algorithm spit out a mid-90s indie dramedy it would probably look like Beautiful Girls: all-star cast, overly talky script, soundtrack overloaded with indie tracks, lots of characters but no real plot, produced and distributed by Miramax. That being said the performances of Timothy Hutton, Uma Thurman, and a very young Natalie Portman stand out.

Terrible movie about a bunch of sleazy creepy men being sleazy creeps. And nothing else.

Smart dialogue and a believable story.

Yes, it's true - this movie has a GREAT cast... however, even with an all-star cast, I found myself cringing through several scenes in this movie and was left wondering if a movie like this could be received so well today in 2021 as it was in 1996. There also seemed to be no real repercussions or consequences for any of their questionable actions: cheating on their spouse while bringing their young child to meeting with the man her mother was cheating on her father with, flirting very very close to pedophilia, smashing into someone's car, getting into a fight and causing broken ribs and stitches and putting someone in the hospital. Where are the arrests? Where is the husband dealing with this cheating wife? Where are Marty's parents? To me, a great movie teaches lessons and the characters grow and change. I just didn't get that from this movie... it's just a great cast, that is all. I gave it two stars only because I was able to watch it all the way through, as it did hold my attention, but that is all it did.

I'm not a big fan of movies about beautiful and successful women who are basically waiting around until their boyfriends are ready to commit to them. The storyline where Timothy Hutton has a crush on his 13-year-old neighbor is creepy.

All guys have insecurities and there's bound to be some issues particularly when it comes to several women. They all have a profound effect on each other. Matt Dillon, Timothy Hutton, Rosie O' Donnell, Natalie Portman, Mira Sorvino, and Uma Thurman. I thought it was alright. Portman shines as a newcomer yet she's barely in the movie for a majority of it. A great cast yet the material could stand out more.

This is up there with the best. Classic East Coast story and great acting/actors. You will laugh.

I can not get over the the feeling that Timothy Hutton's character behaves like a pedophile. The object of his attention, played by Natalie Portman, was coming off Luc Besson's The Professional, another film that reportedly is a fan of pedophiles. I think Hollywood filmmakers have a social responsibility to deal with the topic of teen (and pre-teen) girls as the object of adult male affection in a more thoughtful manner.

Sometimes boring, other times down right creepy.

Despite what the title may lead you to believe, Beautiful Girls is actually not about the females in the film at all. In fact, it is a coming of age drama for a group of men who should have already come of age. The movie introduces us to a group of guys whose maturing process seems to have stopped after high school. They experience their struggle with growing up in various ways from revenge dating to make your ex jealous, to pining for an underage girl. But the lesson to be learned by all of them is that they need to grow up and move on with their lives. I found it somewhat hard to connect with these men because they were so immature, and couldn’t stop making bad choices. Even when they were high schoolers, these would be the kind of guys that would beat me up or make fun of me, so I can’t manage to care about their struggles. That’s not to say there are no moments of humor to keep me entertained in the film, but most of the way through I was annoyed with their stupidity, and their whining over the situations their stupidity created. Watching Beautiful Girls is also like opening a time capsule buried in the mid-90s. I don’t mean because of the style of the film, or the technology in it, or anything like that. But you can tell that this movie came out at a particular time when Rosie O’Donnell was becoming a huge star. Every scene she’s in is so out of place with the rest of the film, that it feels like they shoved them in after the movie was made strictly to give her some comedic moments. It’s also overrun with B-list actors who I’m sure Hollywood thought would be on their way to becoming A-listers at that time. Yet most of them remain character actors who are still in search of that big starring role that will make them a household name. That’s not to say the cast is bad, they just don’t blow me away with their acting talent, or manage to make this movie one where I connect with their emotional journeys. Beautiful Girls is a movie that will definitely connect with some people, particularly if they find themselves going through a similar emotional journey, but for me it was lackluster and occasionally annoying.

A timeless classic that is best enjoyed around wintertime. Great performances from everyone, and a solid, realistic storyline that all of us can relate to in some way or another.

Very good movie. A must see.

This film is incredible overrated. Glorifying the peter pan complex, we follow a group of late twenty somethings pine for their teenaged glory days, as our protagonist considers if a twelve year old Natalie Portman is his soulmate.

Thank you. love it. I came here from https://sprintally.com
