Beautiful Girls
1996
Massachusetts
Ted Demme
Romantic Comedy
What’s it all about: Boring Men. The beautiful girls in question literally fall asleep in 3 out of 5 scenes (Mira Sorvino) or ditch the movie entirely half way through (Uma Thurman).
First Encounter: first viewing; Candotti called for “a last-minute Mira Sorvino movie”
Prostitute Index: nil
Death By: snowplow
Relics: capping on your friends, a Lolita plot line in a date movie
Hoops: slobs dating smart beautiful women; a barroom singalong that wins over the girl, cutting and pasting the cast together for a movie poster scene that never happens
Heartthrob: Uma Thurman
LoFi Magic: none
Makes me want to: steer clear of Massachusetts
Candotti take: “this is the whitest movie ever.”
Worth a watch/rewatch: No
