Beautiful Girls 1996 123movies

Watch: Beautiful Girls 1996 123movies, Full Movie Online – New York based jazz pianist Willie Conway heads back to his small hometown of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts for a high school reunion. The trip is as much to go to the reunion and see his old friends – none of whom left Knights Ridge after graduation – as it is to get away from his current life, at which he is at a crossroads both personally and professionally. He is just eking out a living with his piano playing gigs, and as such he is thinking about taking a sales job. He’s also not sure if he’s ready to marry his long time girlfriend, lawyer Tracy Stover. Most of Willie’s Knights Ridge blue collar friends’ best days were in high school, they still having that “trophy” mentality of girlfriends and wives. Only Michael “Mo” Morris is happily married with a family. Paul Kirkwood, whose room is plastered with magazine pictures of models, wants his waitress ex-girlfriend Jan back only because he knows now that he can’t have her. And Tommy “Birdman” Rowland, who was the big man in high school, is trying to end his affair with his now married high school girlfriend, Darian Smalls. Despite knowing about Darian, Tommy’s current girlfriend, Sharon Cassidy, stands by her man through bad and worse. A cousin of their bar owning friend Stanley “Stinky” Womack, the beautiful Andera who is visiting from Chicago, may provide the voice of reason for this group of friends in dealing with their women problems. Some reason is what Willie may need in trying to figure out why he is attracted to Marty, his father’s thirteen year old neighbor, especially as Willie learns that Tracy has decided to join him for the reunion..
Plot: During a snowy winter in the small fictional town of Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts, a group of lifelong buddies hang out, drink and struggle to connect with the women who affect their decisions, dreams and desires.

Thoroughly Enjoyable (revised review 7/1/2011)
Update 7/1/11 I still love this movie!! I have to watch it at least once a year and I can’t say that about too many movies (I’ve now seen this more than Star Wars IV). Please allow yourself time to kick back and enjoy a very believable story of Anywhere USA Americana. Below is my original review from many years ago. Thanks

Prior Review–

I love this movie. Too bad Demme is Donne because this is great work. Every single role is believable and not over-acted. Maybe it’s my 30 something (now 40 something) mind working but this is a great movie to sit down and enjoy. Nothing blows up and I can’t recall a single car chase but if you can allow yourself to get involved with a storyline, this is for you.

You can fall in love with Natalie Portman and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Rapaport in a better role. There isn’t anyone more anti Rosie Odonell than me, but even her role is great. The bad news for friends and family is that I’ve stolen many lines from this flick because I’m not original enough to come up with my own stuff.

“What’s he all creased about”

I would be first in line to purchase a (another) DVD that is Dolby Digital and has some extras. Lastly, don’t miss the soundtrack, there is a great blend of feel good music along with some new, cool licks.

Lost gem: the best reunion film of them all
This is one of those lost film gems that somehow comes in under the radar screen and it takes ten years to find it, but I did. The cast is amazing in name and quality. The story line is sensitive and realistic, without a flaw. The scenes are low-key but classic. The relationships are sweet and painful as in real life. The direction is flawless. Some of the lines are not just memorable but classic. Natalie Portman’s performance steals the show, which is hard to do with this cast and these incredible performances: Matt Dillon, Noah Emmerich, Annabeth Gish, Lauren Holly, Timothy Hutton, Rosie O’Donnell, Martha Plimpton, Natalie Portman, Michael Rapaport, Mira Sorvino, Uma Thurman. This is a film classic to see and to own. The last scene and the last lines can be watched over and over, especially for the expression on Rappaport’s face. I think I’ll go and watch it again now. 10 of 10
