Een groepje schoolvrienden organiseert een reünie in een saai sneeuwig stadje. Niets is moeilijker dan afscheid nemen van je jeugd. Er lopen zoveel mooie vrouwen rond, dat je nooit weet of je de juiste te pakken hebt. Dit fenomeen bindt een groepje vrienden uit een klein Amerikaans stadje. Ze lopen tegen de dertig, maar gedragen zich als onvervalste pubers. (Concorde Film)

It's not often you see so many familiar faces in one single film, in this case a laid-back and enjoyable one. Though if it weren't for the Hutton-Portman relationship, I would give it one less star. I am wondering what a pity it is that a great actor like Timothy Hutton hasn't appeared in a proper film since he won the Oscar for Ordinary People. He certainly deserves bigger roles

In the last decades, it has become clear that the most faithful visitors to movie theaters and moviegoers in general are teenagers - often the only ones. Thus, what is offered there adapts to their taste as well. There are plenty of romantic love stories edited to fit their needs and expectations, and one can observe the trend of adults behaving like 17-year-old adolescents who refuse to grow up. Beautiful Girls portrays fresh thirty-year-olds who may stumble in their love relationships and nostalgically look back at their adolescent past, but they act appropriately for their age. Surprisingly, it is a mature film about friendship and the challenges of romantic coexistence, not outstanding but likable, trustworthy, and functional even in its details. Additionally, it features a truly strong star-studded cast. Overall impression: 80%.
