Brief synopsis of Mystic Pizza

In MYSTIC PIZZA, three young women, sisters Daisy (Julia Roberts) and Kat (Annabeth Gish) and their friend Jojo (Lili Taylor), work at a pizza parlor in the seaside town of Mystic, Connecticut, during the summer after their high-school graduation. Jojo wants to stay in Mystic and take over the pizza parlor someday, but is unsure about whether she really wants to marry her high-school sweetheart. Kat is headed for Yale, but stops to have an affair with an older architect whose child she babysits, while Daisy has visions of marrying a rich man and moving up in the world. Donald Petrie's film is a charming, kindhearted tale that features early screen appearances by Roberts, Taylor, and Gish.

Rating of 4 stars out of 5 Radio Times

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.

Likely to appeal to a young female audience and offering little of interest to anyone else.

Rated - 5 starsMystic Pizza

A customer from Bromley , 19/07/2004

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.

I saw this film years ago when it first came out. It's such a lovely film - full of "feel-good" factor with sterling performances from Julia Roberts and Annabel Gish. Great film.

Very predictable, but I like Julia Roberts, just a good girlie film, good to watch on a miserable wet winter Sunday afternoon.

Rated - 4 starsMystic Pizza - chick flick

A customer from Sowerby Bridge , 06/09/2008

A good old chick flick which takes me back to be 15 again! Great to snuggle up to on the sofa and watch on a rainy afternoon, wearing your grans warm cardy and men's socks.
