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.

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.
