YMMV / Beautiful Girls

• Awesome Music: A terrific and eclectic soundtrack featuring The Rolling Stones, The Afghan Whigs (doing cover versions of "Be For Real" and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe"), the Spinners, Chris Isaak, and Billy Paul, among others.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Most reviewers agreed Natalie Portman stole the show.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Timothy Hutton's character develops a crush on a 13-year-old girl. In 2020, Timothy Hutton was accused of raping a 14-year-old girl while making The Falcon and the Snowman in 1983.
• Retroactive Recognition: John Carroll Lynch as Frank, who co-owns the bar the characters hang out at.
