Beautiful Girls is one of those hidden gem movies that I recommend seeing, it has some insight into the minds of men.
It stars Timothy Hutton as guy who goes back to his hometown because he's at crossroads in his life and it's his first high school reunion. He catches up with friends whom are also in the same boat and together they discover aren't all that different.
Timothy Hutton plays Willie who is unsure about his relationship with his girlfriend because she's getting serious and he's not sure he's ready. While back home Willie befriends a young girl whom he sees a lot of potential and even questions that if he waits till she gets older they could be together.
Matt Dillon is a guy who keeps having an affair with his old high school girlfriend even though she's married and he's involved with someone else.
Michael Rapaport plays a guy who has pictures and posters of super models all over his walls, can't say I wasn't guilty of that myself.
It shows that even when you try to escape from life and try to go back home, that life waits for no one and it keeps happening no matter where you go.
Uma Thurman pops up in a small role and brings some insight and perspective for these guys.
Natalie Portman fresh from her role in The Professional plays the young girl whom Willie has an attraction for.
It's one of those movies you look at and remember those same conversations you had and are amazed how far you've come.
