The movie takes place in a fishing town named Mystic, Conn., where many of the year-round people are Portuguese-American, and the summer people have names like Charles Gordon Winsor, Jr. It is about three girls who work in the Mystic Pizzeria, famous for the secret ingredients in its special sauce. Two of the girls are sisters, the third is their best friend, and the movie begins when the best friend walks away from the altar and leaves her fiance standing there.
Her name is JoJo Barboza (Lili Taylor). She simply can't face marriage. She loves Bill (Vincent D'Onofrio), but she's not ready for a permanent commitment. Her problem is, like, he really turns her on, but he doesn't believe in sex till after marriage. Is she ready to marry him just to get him in bed? Not Quite. JoJo doesn't plan to go on to college, and her dream is to someday inherit the secret sauce from Leona (Conchata Ferrell), and run the pizzeria herself.
Her friends are Daisy and Kat Araujo (Julia Roberts and Anabeth Gish), and one night they're drinking a few beers at a local hangout when Daisy sees Mr. Right walk in. He's tall, preppy, cool, and able to hit almost three bull's-eyes on the dart board while drinking a shot of tequila before every dart. This may not seem like a skill that prepares him for life, but Daisy picks him up and before long they are more or less in love. He is a very rich kid named, of course, Charles Gordon Winsor, Jr. (Adam Storke), and he is in law school, he says, although actually he has been thrown out of law school for cheating, and that is why he can devote so much time to his dart game.
Kat, meanwhile, is baby-sitting for a thirty-year-old Yale gradute who is an architect rehabbing a local landmark. She's been accepted to Yale for the fall, and so they have that in common. Also reckless romanticism. His name is Tim (William R. Moses), his wife is in Europe, and Kat falls head over heels in idealism with him. They have long talks about Important Subjects, she impresses him with her intelligence, and she is so fresh and pretty that perhaps he is more easily impressed than he should be. She loves his baby, too. She projects herself into his life, declares him to be good and true, and tries not to think too much about his absent wife. Perhaps--she snatches at straws--they're going to be divorced.
MYSTIC PIZZA takes three couples and follows them through several months. Each romance turns into a hard lesson to be learned, but does not treat it as one. That's because the character's are allowed to be smart, to react in unexpected ways, and to be concerned with doing the right thing than with doing the expedient or even lustful thing. 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.
