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.

A sweet and sassy comedy about the bonds of sisterhood, Mystic Pizzaoffers the opportunity to see some solid young actresses 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 babysitting 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 Pizzathe delightful experience it is. --Robert Lane, Amazon.com
