On the occasion of a student meeting, Willie Conway, a 29 -year -old boy, returns home in the small city of Knight's Ridge. There he will think about his future, because he does not know whether to abandon his desire to be a pianist and become a sales representative, and his relationship with his girlfriend Tracy will rethink. There he also reunits with his old friends, each with his circumstances: from which he is already the father of two children to whom he still has the room full of models posters, going through the one who still thinks he is the ligon of the institute.
When this Ted Demme movie (1996) was released, it might seem to a generational film, exclusive to thirties. Today, seventeen years later, we discovered that Beautiful Girls supports the wrinkles very well, and is presented as current as then. Supported on a great story, it has an excellent coral cast, without fissures: Timothy Hutton, Matt Dillon, Mira Sorvino, Rosie O'Donnell (glorious his scene in the supermarket) or Uma Thurman, among others, complete an excellent performance. Special mention deserves a Natalie Portman still teenager, embroidering her character and anticipating the great actress she is today.
Beautiful Girls is, in short, a lucid and deep reflection on maturity, in comedy. A look towards that moment of our lives in which we begin to doubt the realization of our dreams, in which life stands in front and forces us to choose and give up and assume the consequences. A treaty on bets and failures, on which they resign and those who refuse to surrender. Not to miss it.
