Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
tdrish About 20 minutes in, I almost walked away from it. Knowing all too well that this is a chick flick, I felt the story and the film altogether was going nowhere. 45 minutes in, and it still had the feeling that the plot was not thickening. However, I was stayed in tune. I realized, all too late, that it's not your attention that Mystic Pizza wants...it wants your heart. And the film has plenty of it! ( If Phoebe doesn't melt your heart, it's because you don't have one.) Packed with joyful emotions, this is impossible to watch without smiling, chuckling, or getting that warm feeling all around. It's got just the right amount of sadness, kindness, madness, and fondness you would find in any given friendship. The films main focus is on friendship...maybe even a marriage. My only complaint was the ending, which left quite a few issues unresolved. Other then that, I was pleasantly surprised to finally capture the memories of this 80's treasure. Dig it up for yourself!
JackCerf There is a genre known as the Three Girls Movie, in which, you guessed it, three girls learn about Life, which really means Men, and about themselves along the way. There is always a heroine, a naive, vulnerable one who gets hurt, and an eccentric one, who might be either wild or salty. Three Coins In a Fountain is a Three Girls Movie; so is The Best of Everything, and Where The Boys Are (although they threw in Connie Francis as a fourth so that she could sing). How to Marry a Millionaire is also a Three Girls Movie, with the twist that the three girls are grown women -- fashion models -- who already consider themselves fully wised up about Life and Men and find out they are wrong.Mystic Pizza is a very good Three Girls Movie, notable for launching the careers of the Three Actresses: Julia Roberts, of course, and to a lesser extent Lily Taylor and Annabeth Gish. They play three working class waitresses in a New England fishing town. Gish, the smart but naive one, gets hurt but will go off to college better armored against the snares of the world. Taylor, the eccentric one, finally accepts marriage and domesticity with the guy who has loved her all along. Roberts, the gorgeous, hot tempered but deeply sensible heroine, finds a rich guy who turns out to be flawed, but curably flawed; at the end she is making him over into the man who will deserve her. There are no real surprises here (except for one involving a misunderstanding and a parked convertible with the top down), and it's not great art by any means, but it is a well-executed variation of a reliable formula that should entertain anyone, or at least any female, from 13 on up.
ashleylynncaissie Mystic Pizza A Review by Ashley I was making breakfast when I started watching Mystic Pizza. I can't be completely sure what I made myself that day, but knowing me it was probably a burger or spaghetti of some kind. I had decided to watch T.V. while I made breakfast because cooking can often be very boring, and I needed more stimulation. At first I was just watching the T.V. Guide channel, but I soon found myself switching to AMC to watch the last hour of Mystic Pizza. I have to admit; at first I was completely lost. There were so many conflicts and I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out who the head pizza lady was. She looked so familiar, and it was killing me. Once I settled down and watched the movie a little I really got into it. And although I didn't watch the whole thing I knew everything that had already happened or was going to happen simply by listening. Also I saw that awesome lobster dinner part with young Matt Damon! Pure gold!As I said before, there were a lot of conflicts in the movie. Some of the conflicts in the movie included, but were not limited to: a girl who had family problems, Julia Roberts being poor while her boyfriend was rich, problems paying tuition to Yale/ Harvard, a decline in restaurant profits, and last but not least, dealing with the olds. All I all it was a good movie. I give it seven Golden Apes up! Which is only a 3 on IMDb.
izabella sangi I actually loved the movie Mystic Pizza, i can watch it over and over. I know this may seem weird but i really liked daisy's boyfriend in this but are guys even like that? since i'm only 15 i would know crap all about love lol but was it unrealistic or do guys actually fall in love with you like that. Anyway i loved the movie i loved how close the three girls were and how much fun they all had and how they all found love and lived near the sea i sound cheesy ha ha but yeah it was a good movie it mad me smile and julia roberts looked so pretty in it my fav scene was of her in the black dress with the bow killer body!! i recommend it i really enjoyed it and to this day, i think i'm gonna go watch it hahaha
