so much of the conflict in beautiful girls reads as “woe, the pain of basking in male privilege. ” this can be very annoying. but the film clearly aims to critique this attitude and demonstrate that its men would be much happier if they would just settle down (emphasis on “settle”). so it’s possible that beautiful girls actually seeks to deconstruct gender stereotypes and attack the system which creates both the perils of the privileged and desperation of those who are not .

unfortunately, only darian gets an unequivocal smack - down when she’s soundly rejected by tommy and told off at her high school reunion by someone she bullied. the other disillusioned - by - privilege (male) characters in beautiful girls either find the peace of mind to settle with the women they have, or in the case of paul, give up the chase for the woman he lost. that this happy ending seems kind of sad belies how difficult it is to disengage from the allure of beautiful girls. the italicized and capitalized beautiful girls is just as frustrating and compelling as its lowercase namesake .

regardless of the interpretation, “beautiful girls” is a film in which types are given twitches, tics and touches by thoughtful actors — even michael rapaport, whose puerile - punk presence is almost always the kiss of death. (not even the great tv series “justified” could escape his curse in what is largely considered its weakest season. )

some mad men episode titles are more difficult to decipher than others. “the beautiful girls” (written by dahvi waller and mattew weiner, and directed by michael uppendahl) is, as it turns out, all about the girls. at one point, in a scene near the end, the episode could almost be a fellini film, with don draper (jon hamm) in the mastroianni role, as seemingly every woman in his life parades around him .

and as for cooper, regardless of what fate lies in store for hostiles, he is prepping his next film about james earl ray, the man who assassinated martin luther king jr. in 1968. he says it will be perhaps his most challenging yet, certainly something different for the actor - turned - director than his first four films. incidentally he told me the two beautiful young girls who play pike’s daughters at the beginning of the film are actually his daughters. pike was so impressed she asked cooper if one of them could join her next film. he turned her down, effectively killing off their immediate movie careers as surely as their characters in this film .

isn' t as seductive as that title, or quite as cozy as its ads appear (the characters have been pasted into a composite bar scene), it still has warmth and good cheer. the film is loosely focused, but its ensemble cast is as affable as anything on television these days. and the mood is much more buoyant than the setting .

the main thesis of beautiful girls is that men will never be satisfied with what they have because they can always imagine having something more. they’ll never be satisfied with the women the are with because there will always be other women they could be getting—prettier, younger, cooler, newer women. as the film’s voice - of - lunacy, paul (michael rapaport) explains in the films title - bestowing monologue :

hooray for your neon genesis reference. ohh, and maggie gyllenhaal played a depressant in the secretary, which is a great film .
no one could call beautiful girls a great film. it' s too slight, it has no serious intent. it is, however, one of those rare movies where everyone and everything involved seem perfectly suited for the task at hand. demme would never make another film as good before his death in 2002, and rosenberg hasn' t matched it either. it' s got, arguably, career best performances from hutton and portman, and rapaport, too, plus matt dillon (lothario with the sham life) in the charming form that makes him so watchable .
the other bit of dishonesty is endemic to this film and every other feel - good ensemble story like it: the notion that a brief reunion may just change the lives of almost all the principals in a few days' time. but

beautiful girls is a romantic drama about seeing the beauty in all females in all the facets of every man' s life. it just took willie to come home to realize that. it ranges from the beautiful but
mean as a snake
darian, to the inner beauty and personality of gina, the beauty of a mother and a wife in anne, the smarts and sexiness of andera, down to the potentially stunning and witty marty, just to name a few of the great female characters in the film. willie realizes the value, the individuality, and the ranging beauty of all these women throughout the film, culminating with the arrival of his fiancee, tracy. these realizations, along with his friends, lead him down a path of clarity that sets his future into motion .

they say a good soundtrack can make or break a movie, in this case you could say it' s the other way round. the soundtrack to' passengers' is a great soundtrack but when it is coupled to the beautiful film it accompanies (which i have thoroughly enjoyed, twice) it becomes a masterpiece .
tommy rowland can' t let go of his high school sweetheart, darian smalls, even if now she' s married to another man, and he has a girlfriend. michel morris seems satisfied with his wife and children and the others are constantly mocking him for being too content and for not wanting an affair or a beautiful girl. they are all dreaming of tall, beautiful girls but deep down they realize that their destiny is to dream, shovel snow and marry a local, not so perfect girl .

’s “diner”. but i tried never to even think of that one. because then i would have just been paralyzed. because that film is nearly perfect. a few years ago, i was skiing in colorado, and i was in a bar and some snow - boarders in their early 20s came up to me. they had heard i was the dude that wrote “beautiful girls”. and they wanted to tell me that their whole group of friends watch the film once every few months. i told them that is so cool. and that my friends and me used to watch “diner” once every few months. and the snow - boarders shrugged and asked me: “what’s ‘diner’? ” and i realized that “girls” was for these kids, what “diner” was for some of my friends. and that was perhaps the coolest thing of all ...

as i remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick beautiful girls. but, being that no one that i’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, i’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all - star cast. nevertheless, i’ve absolutely loved the film ever since it first came out almost fifteen years ago and have probably seen it no less than thirty times. so, when i found out that [ … ]

i don' t really care how much the latest superhero film took at the box office, although i' d probably know if you asked me. when i watch a film the main thing i am looking for is a good story. i like it when i look up at the big screen and can see a part of me staring back at me. more than anything, i am still looking for jimmy stewart and jack lemmon and billy wilder in every film i see .
despite its rather suggestive title, this film is as sweet and innocent as the lovely natalie portman making snow angels. there is, of course, a more substantial level to the film - leitmotivs of friendship, love and return to innocence feature strongly - which leave you with something more than feeling good about the world. although the principles of good ol' hometown america are prevalent the feel of this film is anything but conventional, introducing us to the sometimes bizarre world of mid - west america. it' s not uncomfortable, just different. a truly lovely film that will help you appreciate your friends and their often brutal honesty... .

she continued, “to be able to show these women who are intelligent, full of heart, and who are responsible but take a weekend to cut loose, is a beautiful thing. a movie through our lens and our culture, it still has universal themes that doesn’t make it gender - specific or even color - specific, and that’s a beautiful thing to be moving in that direction. ”

1) when you get a film with a notable beefcake factor, people make a huge deal of it. 300 is the clearest example, but i saw like three soft - news pieces about how the shot in casino royale where danny craig walks dripping out of the ocean was “payback” for the decades of gratuitous bond girls. certainly there is beefcake, but it’s rare enough to be newsworthy. a similar shot of a woman (of which there were several in that film, come to think of it) would not occasion comment .
did ted demme gain cred based on his last name and his uncle’s own award - worthy cache in the same mid - ’90s timeframe? perhaps. the cast of “beautiful girls” in particular is so stacked the names practically cascade across the opening credits. but he doesn’t coast in either this or “the ref, ” and clearly capitalized on the chances he was given no matter how few they were .

released in conjunction with the release of the film, the novelisation was penned by raymond benson and adapted from the screenplay by neal purvis, robert wade, and bruce feirstein .
i think it' s the kind of screenplay that everyone tries to write when they begin screenwriting, the script about a bunch of friends in a small town figuring their lives out. but rather than having the complexity and subtlety of' beautiful girls,' they tend to be quite boring and soap operatic - - were you concerned about this when you were writing yours? how confident were you ?
demme' s conversational film is about the gaping chasm between what men say and what they feel. it may not tell us anything new, but its eloquence is quietly rewarding .

although cooper told me at last night’s dinner reception for the film that terrence malick’s days of heaven was an inspiration, this movie is closer kin to films like ford’s 1956 masterpiece the searchers with john wayne. in fact cooper has at least three shots that might best be called an homage to the searchers, and anyone who knows that film will recognize them right away .

in the words of the writer himself: “it was the worst winter ever in this small hometown. snow plows were coming by, and i was just tired of writing these movies with people getting shot and killed. so i said, ‘there is more action going on in my hometown with my friends dealing with the fact that they cannot deal with turning 30 or with commitment. all that became ‘beautiful girls. ’ ”
