Beautiful GirlsA solid romantic comedy, with Natalie playing one of its beautiful girls, a sweetly precocious almost-teen. She develops a crush on the main character, which is handled in a realistic and intelligent manner.
Tommy Rowland heads back home to a quiet suburb for his 10-year high school
reunion. He also has to make up his mind about his girlfriend, as do all
the high school buddies of his that he meets. This is a solid date movie,
but without severely succumbing to any of the pitfalls of the genre. The
cast is strong, and characters largely convincing and interesting.
Natalie is one of the beautiful girls of the story. Her character Marty is
a precocious, intelligent and outgoing girl who doesn't hesitate to subtly
hit on Tommy from the start, despite the age difference. The relationship
comes across realistic, the kind of crush that early teen girls sometimes
have for older men. The role suits Natalie, who also was an intelligent and
perhaps precocious girl, and her performance is widely praised in reviews.
Natalie's screen time is under ten minutes, but the role is nonetheless one
of the more important ones in the movie.
If you want to watch one early Natalie movie in addition to obligatory Léon, pick this one.
