Mystic Pizza Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 20 Reviews)

Once upon a time under Connecticut sky, there was a slice of heaven named Mystic Pizza!

This is one of these movies that exudes a distinguished freshness, that touch our hearts and spirits, making us to think about the singleness and kindness of the human nature.

Two sisters: Daisy (Julie Roberts) and Kate ( Annabeth Gish); a beloved friend Jojo (Lili Taylor) work at Mystic pizzeria. And this delightful picture elapses between the lives and times of these three adorable women; each one of them with her dreams and love affairs; someone of them fortunate; others simply a beauty illusion.

As you may guess this summer breeze picture has all what you wish to seduce you. Enrapturing landscapes, spontaneous performances, splendid script and a delirious scent to pizza hard to forget.

This is an invitation for you to make reservation around this magical and adorable tour. A superb artistic feat of Donald Petrie.


A Movie Worth Watching With a Comfortable Feel to It
Watched the 1988 movie "Mystic Pizza" today. It was one of the first movies for the female leads Julia Roberts , Annabeth Gish (native of Cedar Falls, Iowa), and Lili Taylor. Interestingly, Gish's name appears before Roberts in the credits at the end. Gish has gone on to a productive career, mostly in television, Taylor has moved into a career in more independent, quirky movies while Roberts has gone on to...well, you know.

I read Roger Ebert's review and he gave the movie 3 1/2 starts (out of 4) when it came out. I wouldn't rate it that high (maybe 2 1/2 or 3 out of 4), but the movie has kind of a comfortable feeling to it and gets better as it goes along. You don't see many movies about work & work environments these days and I think the scenes in the Mystic Pizza Parlor are pretty good. The romantic storylines are pretty standard and as Ebert says, "The movie isn't really about three girls in love; it's about three girls discovering what their standards for love are going to be." All-in-all I liked the movie. Oh, and watch carefully for Matt Damon in his big-screen debut!

Mystic Pizza and Small town Romance
Julia Roberts pre-Pretty Woman. In Mystic, Conneticut, four Portugese-American friends (including 2 sisters) have one last summer together before heading off to begin their adult lives. One bound for Yale, another headed for a walk down the aisle, and two more working as waitresses trying to find themselves. Each find romance and the challenges of it. It's a great take on how the one summer before we must grow up, is one to savor.
