Amazon.com video review:
A sweet and sassy comedy about the bonds of sisterhood,
Mystic Pizza offers the opportunity to see some solid young
actors early in their careers. Three sisters of blue-collar Portuguese
descent work in a pizzeria in the coastal town of Mystic,
Connecticut. Each has her own unique romantic entanglements. One is
the fast girl in town (Julia Roberts), who falls for a rich kid but
wonders if she'll ever be accepted; one is the lifelong local girl
(Lili Taylor) in love with her fisherman boyfriend (Vincent D'Onofrio)
but scared of what marriage will do to their sex lives; and the
youngest sister (Annabeth Gish) dreams of going to Yale but during a
summer of baby-sitting has an affair with a married man. Through it
all each sister depends on the others regardless of the
complications. It's the alluring charm of the three disparate leads
that makes Mystic Pizza the delightful experience it
is. --Robert Lane
