They work in this pizza place, Dieing to get out and settle down. And never seen this movie before.
Rating:  - Mindless way to spend a Sunday afternoon
Despite the fact that Julia Roberts' face is displayed predominantly on the cover of this DVD, it's not a vehicle just for her. It maybe set her on the way to stardom, but she's in no way a great actress in this. She's the 'pretty' one of the film.
I picked this film for dead cheap months ago, and have never been in the mood for watching it. Until a couple of days ago, I put it in the DVD player and discovered a sweet film which reminded me slightly of Steel Magnolias and has possibly influenced a lot of other films in recent years. It's a predictable story, about two sisters and a friend, waitressing in a pizza place, caught in the summer after leaving school, and what to do with the rest of their lives.
You know where it goes from here. We've got the one who loves her boyfriend very much, but is so scared of commitment that she faints at the altar, played wonderfully by Lili Taylor. She's the friend. Then one sister who babysits only to fall for the kid's dad, played by Annabeth Gish. And then what could politely be called as the 'woman about town', by Julia Roberts, who falls for a rich guy, and makes an embarrassment of herself in front of his snobby parents.
It's a pretty much uneventful film, big hair, big clothes, big eighties film. There's not much to comment on, unless you spot Matt Damon in a family scene, given one line, for one of his first film roles. Apart from that, it's good enough to waste some time on a very lonely weekend.

Excellent choice, one of Julia's earlest...this made her. Speaks volumes for early career. Great movie...witty...
Rating: - Heartwarming Story
There is something magical about this film in its simplicity in examining the needs of the human heart. It is a comedy light in nature but handles its subject very well. It never fails to entertain and continues to draw you in with repeated viewings. Romance can be beautiful and charming and dear to the human spirit.
Rating: - Once upon a time under Connecticut sky, there was a slice of heaven named Mystic Pizza!
This is one of these movies that exudes a distinguished freshness, that touch our hearts and spirits, making us to think about the singleness and kindness of the human nature.
Two sisters: Daisy (Julie Roberts) and Kate ( Annabeth Gish); a beloved friend Jojo (Lili Taylor) work at Mystic pizzeria. And this delightful picture elapses between the lives and times of these three adorable women; each one of them with her dreams and love affairs; someone of them fortunate; others simply a beauty illusion.
As you may guess this summer breeze picture has all what you wish to seduce you. Enrapturing landscapes, spontaneous performances, splendid script and a delirious scent to pizza hard to forget.
This is an invitation for you to make reservation around this magical and adorable tour. A superb artistic feat of Donald Petrie.
