Ice fishing at its best!
By JustAnOpinion from Surrey , 13 May 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
The Breakfast club for the 30somethings and a masterpiece of comedy and observation.
I would pack this film into my library of classics without a second thought.
Natalie Portman’s powerful and beguiling supporting performance shines out in an already powerful film.
The tensions and situations prevailing throughout the film are easily identifiable and you’ll not be hard pressed to feel involved in the group.
Even with snow and the winter so in evidence throughout the film I was still warmed by the humour and dialogue and felt saddened when the film finally ended.- Was this review helpful to you?

By IanLennox (1 review) , 18 Jun 2013Not a great film, but a very,very good one, highlighted by three or four terrific scenes and a masterly performance by the young Natalie Portman- Was this review helpful to you?

Not much to say ...
By Katya1 (39 reviews) , 24 Apr 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Fairly mindless film about guys choosing their women to settle down in small-town white New England. Am sure some people will enjoy it - for me the high points were performances by Uma Thurman and Natalie Portman, acting a cute 14 year old, but not much else to say except it's not a film I'll remember.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hidden Gem - not a comedy though!
By Bobbinsu (1 review) , 26 Oct 2012I still can't understand how this was marketed as a comedy. As a light drama though it really stands out, some excellent performances with of course Natalie Portman stealing the show.
First watched when I was 19 and I was instantly hooked. At the time I didn't fully appreciate the sense of melancholy about it, the hanging on to the past, the idea of characters obsessed with the promise of maybes and potentials, coming to grips with the fact that at approaching 30, life is for living not for longing.
What strikes me watching it again after nearly 15 years is how well it catches the mood of men no longer young, trying (or not) to face up to the fact that they need to embrace the present and coming to terms with no longer being young stags with their best years ahead.
Possibly more a film for thoughtful guys than anyone else, and not exactly funny, Beautiful Girls gets under your skin with a really believable group of characters, a well paced (doesn't feel like nearly 2 hours to me) plot, and lots of food for thought. This is a film I can watch time and again.- Was this review helpful to you?

How did I get here?
By robinbobin (1 review) , 02 Sep 2012Nice little time warp back to the 90s. good cast and acting, the story's easy to relate too even though it's very American. Thoughtful yet comedic approach to a universal sentiment on life and love. Just realised i was the same age as 'Marty' when this came out, I'm now the same age as the main characters so good film to kick start a little self reflection- Was this review helpful to you?
