I watched this on channel four when it was on at stupid o'clock in the morning! I was so hooked that I went ionline the next daty and just had to have a copy of this movie. It stars a very young Julia Roberts as a very fiesty girl working in a Pizaa Parlour (Mystic Pizza) with her bestfriend and little sister, wasting her life and dreaming of better. Better comes along in the shape of a young, attractive, rich guy (sports car and all!) and he whisks her off her red head feet.
