Mystic Pizza (1988)
7/10
Enjoyable
27 May 2016
Three teenage girls come of age while working at a pizza parlor in the Connecticut town of Mystic.

In his film debut, Matt Damon has a very small part—his sole line in the film being, "Mom, do you want my green stuff?" You really have to look for him. Heck, everyone in the picture in young, even Vincent D'Onofrio.

Although this is the film that launched Julia Roberts' career, what really stands out for me is Lili Taylor. She had such a great run in the late 80s to mid-90s, maybe a little longer. What happened? Of course, she is still around today (2016), but she seemed to be in a non-stop string of brilliant roles for a while, really redefining what it means to be an actress.
