The only novelty of this familiar small-town coming-of-age saga is that its women are Portugueste-American, but it's laced with humor and well-acted, and the gorgeous-looking Julia Roberts shows strong potential for becoming a major star.

Coming-of-age story flirts with melodrama but is saved by wonderful performances.

One of the rare "chick flicks" built on wit and sincerity ... as opposed to cliche and artifice.
