Beautiful Girls Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What's nicest about the film is the way it treasures the good feelings people can have for one another.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
In a relationship that skirts bad taste, Hutton and Portman make tender movie magic, giving this big-screen spin on Friends its only moments of true romantic yearning.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
It's the women who break the monotony of this dudes-in-flux saga...
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
There is absolutely nothing going on in Beautiful Girls that you haven't seen... [in] any other artistic endeavor in which untethered young men and women, bound by geography and fortified by beer, shamble their way toward overdue maturity.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Does "Beautiful Girls" philosophically aspire to much more than mirroring a Counting Crows lyric from "Mr. Jones?" Maybe not. But there's a barroom eloquence, bottle-bottomed anxiety and stumblebum sadness to it that lingers in its bones.
USA Today
Mike Clark
The movie lacks the stature or consistency to be truly beautiful -- but you know, it is kind of cute.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
It doesn't always take you where you'd like it to go, but that's all right.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Ted Demme's coming of age tale is about guys in their 20s who refuse or are unable to mature, which might explain why the most captivating relationship is between Timothy Hutton and the 13-year-old Natalie Portman.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Beautiful Girls is always in touch with reality but never drowned in it.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
This startlingly uneventful compendium of thick-headed boy-talk and female tolerance squanders a fine cast on incredibly ordinary characters and situations.
Los Angeles Times
Jack Mathews
The dialogue isn't the only problem with Beautiful Girls. The characters are bad, too.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
Portman was memorable as the little girl in The Professional, but her work here throws off an eeriness in its revelation of such huge talent in one so young.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Portman, a budding knockout, is scene-stealingly good even in an overly showy role.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Hutton, understated but not bland for a change, gives his best performance in years.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The movie is wry, touching and fun to sit through...
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Natalie Portman steals all the scenes with Timothy Hutton and lights up the movie...
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Beautiful Girls would have us believe being a guy is hard, confusing, nay, downright torturous.
TV Guide
Natalie Portman, as a 13-year-old on whom Hutton develops a strangely affecting crush, is a delight.
