"Beautiful Girls" is a slice-of-life formula flick about a bunch of guys and gals with a variety of personalities in a variety of relationship attending a high school reunion in a small New England town in the dead of Winter. As with other films of this ilk, the story wanders around the players as they explore the depth of their relationships and character and otherwise interact for the vicarious enjoyment of the audience. "BG" has a solid cast, a good screenplay, a script which is a little too clever for the characters, and a breakthrough' debut by Portman. Good, even tempered, middle of the road entertainment.
