				Why watch this? 
				It's sweet and bittersweet, and yes, Ms. Roberts became a thing. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Three young Portuguese-American friends in the seaside town of 
				Mystic, Connecticut, navigate the summer after high school 
				graduation. They work together at the local pizza parlor. Each 
				of the girls have different issues. One is not sure about her 
				upcoming marriage, one is in love with a married man, and one 
				can't let herself love a guy outside her "class".  Dad's Preview: 
				This intelligent chick-flick (wait, is that an oxymoron?) is a perfect datenight film with 
				very interesting plot lines. It really is deeper than it has to 
				be and that makes it much better. And BTW, this was the 
				incredible Julia Roberts' 
				(and that massive head of hair) big breakthrough role.
