Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was inspired by the experiences of screenwriter Scott Rosenberg when returning home to Needham, Massachusetts. During what he claimed was the worst winter for his hometown, he was waiting to see if his script Con Air (1997) was going to be produced and was getting fed up with writing action movies. Rosenberg cited that there was more action happening with his friends not wanting to accept that they were turning 30 or had commitment issues, which became the basis for Beautiful Girls (1996).
- GoofsGina mentions to Tracy that she looks like Ally Sheedy from The Breakfast Club (1985) with the Estevez Brothers. Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez were in Breakfast Club but his brother Charlie Sheen (Carlos Irwin Estevez) was not.
- Quotes
Paul: Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

becomes interested in the neighbor called Marty (Natalie Portman), who's 13 years old.Beautiful Girls (1996) is a great movie from the late Ted Demme.It has a fantastic cast.Hutton is brilliant and there are also Matt Dillon, Noah Emmerich, Annabeth Gish, Lauren Holly, Rosie O'Donnell, Max Perlich, Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino, Michael Rapaport, David Arquette and so on who all do great job in the movie.But I think it's Natalie Portman who almost steals the show.Every scene with her is pure gold.She has done a lot even though she's still young.She's been in Star Wars prequels, in Leon and I heard there might a sequel coming to that movie.So we will hear from her.The characters in this movie are really unique.They are people you care about.The dialog is wonderful and everything just works in this drama.Beautiful Girls is a movie for everybody who likes a good movie.
