  I can not get over the the feeling that Timothy Hutton's character behaves like a pedophile. The object of his attention, played by Natalie Portman, was coming off Luc Besson's The Professional, another film that reportedly is a fan of pedophiles. I think Hollywood filmmakers have a social responsibility to deal with the topic of teen (and pre-teen) girls as the object of adult male affection in a more thoughtful manner.

  Beautiful Girls screenplay deals with youth transition into adulthood, where it tells the story of a 'lost' late 20's guy who came back to his hometown to attend his high school reunion. The movie depicts a close-knitted friendship, small town's vibe and the rough transition every adults came through with finding love and whatnot. Although not a perfect-solid casts, Timothy Hutton and Natalie Portman without a doubt shines in this one. Loved Rossie O'donnell and Uma Thurman too, but the rest of'em kinda tanked in their 90's cliche and wooden acting bit. Not a bad one but definitely didn't exceed my expectation. 6.2/10.

  This would qualify for my teen angst movies, except it is 20's angst. Six small-town guys are in town for a school reunion, and all are in various crossroads. Do I get married? Do I continue my affair? What about my job? The only thing wrong with the movie is that in one short weekend, they mostly figure out what they want to do with their lives. If only life was so easy.

  The first time I saw this movie, I LOVED IT. The second time, I thought it was just okay, maybe even a little below okay. Perhaps, due to the lack of subtitles on this particular disc I now own, I couldn't READ the movie while viewing it, so I noticed that a few performances didn't capture the gravitas of the screenplay. I remember loving Paul's slam poetry ode to supermodels (how "they're bottled promise...hope dancing in stiletto heels" and how that's as good as love), but something in Michael Rapaport's faux-gangsta posture and gait seems stilted, as if he wasn't completely sold on his character's near sociopathic rant of genius. I also remember loving Willie's meditation on thirteen-year-old Marty (how she will blossom into awesomeness in ten years and that he'd wait for her), but the cinematography is too staid and the effect of the moving monologue whispers pedophilia before it whispers, say...imprinting (ala Twilight werewolves). I also also remember loving Mo's raving, nonsensical battle cry, "YOU FUCK WITH ME, YOU FUCK WITH YOU! YOU GO TO THE FOUNTAIN, YOU DRINK? YOU DON'T DRINK!" but the loud audio makes it difficult to hear actual words. All in all, a damn shame cuz the coming-of-middle-age story is quite beautiful, and the young Natalie Portman as Marty is indeed precocious and magnetic.
