I’ve always loved “Mystic Pizza” (1988) which starred a young unknown beauty named Julia Roberts. It was an enchanting story about sisters and friends coming of age while working at a quaint pizzeria. Lots of other wonderful performances as well from the cast including Annabeth Gish, Lili taylor and Adam Storke.
One of the main storylines includes Julia Roberts relationship with a rich boyfriend and her insecurities regarding the fact that she doesn’t believe he could ever love a “poor Portguese girl”. Another one is Annabeth Gish’s infatuation with the married man that she babysits for. The other main thread involves Lily Taylor’s cold feet about getting married.
Here’s the Trailer
Here’s a scene where Julia and the girls talk about men.
