I like movies like this a lot. "Beautiful Girls" reminded me of an Ed Burns-movie I saw a couple of weeks ago. It was "No Looking Back". Although that movie was fine as well, I liked "Beautiful Girls" more. But this movie definitely had the same style. I love Ted Demme's movies a lot, it's a shame this guy had to die that young. "Blow" is without any doubt my favourite Demme-movie, but this was a charming movie as well. Timothy Hutton and Nathalie Portman were definitely the stars of the show. Portman was brilliant! I loved her in every scene she was in. She was touching and amazing as always.
I read that several people thought "Garden State" could be a remake of this movie, but I can't see why. The story is completely different and the environment also. Like I already said, it definitely reminded me of "No Looking Back". Ed Burns could have made this movie as well.
Mira Sorvino and Uma Thurman delivered as well. Not only are they both very beautiful and attractive women, the can act as well. "Beautiful Girls" is absolutely worth watching. Fine story and great acting. That's why I give this movie a solid seven and a half ;).
7,5/10
