Nice little movie, 25 February 2004

Piano player Willie Conway (Timothy Hutton) comes back to his old home town for a class reunion.There he meets his old high school buddies and

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.
