Mystic Pizza
Filled with heart and humour, Mystic Pizza charts the lives and loves of three unforgettable waitresses in a little town called Mystic. Starring Julia Roberts, Annabeth Gish and Lili Taylor, Mystic Pizza has all the right ingredients of a main course favourite.
For sexy Daisy Araujo (Roberts), her sensible sister Kat (Gish) and their wisecracking friend Jojo (Taylor), the summer after high school is a summer they’ll never forget. Slinging pizza at a local restaurant, the three girls share their plans for escaping their small town. And when a wealthy young man named Charles sweeps Daisy off her feet, they all think she’s found her ticket out. But when the girls learn that Charles isn’t the man they think he is, they discover that with friendship and self-respect, not only will they find real happiness (and a way out of Mystic)… they just might find themselves.
Critic Reviews:
- " Genuine and moving. " – Variety Staff
- " “Mystic Pizza” does create the feeling of a small resort town and the people who live there and, amazingly, given the familiar nature of a lot of the material, it nearly always keeps us interested. " – Roger Ebert
- " Coming-of-age story flirts with melodrama but is saved by wonderful performances. " – James Plath
