    This romantic comedy contains one of “pretty woman” Julia Roberts's first major roles, and it's still one of her best. It follows the ups and downs of Roberts, pal Lili Taylor and sister Annabeth Gish, who get into trouble with love while working at a pizza parlour in their home town of Mystic, Connecticut. Donald Petrie serves up a fine coming-of-age tale, successfully interlacing the story of the girls' problems of the heart with some delightfully comic moments and astute observations about romance.

    Mystic Pizza

    It's not difficult to see how this movie launched Julia Robert's career. It's a classic teen movie but for the twenty-something generation that starts out a little predictable but is full of small surprises and ultimately delights. It centres on the lovelives of three friends in the small town of mystic, none of which are quite going as planned. Best thing about it is that it never gets too slushy. Fine girlie fun.

    Classic Teen Film

    I absolutely adore this film... It's not perfectly shot, or scripted, but performances are heartbreakingly good.

    For everything that the film is I shouldn't love it, but it really is true teenage heartbreak, angst and good fun. I believe every girl should watch it before their coming of age.
