The late Conchatta Farrell is a scene stealer as the owner of Mystic Pizza, a rural Connecticut pizza shop where the sauce is an ancient family recipe. I've seen Farrell in many TV shows and movies, and no matter how bad the episode or film is, she always makes it a bit brighter by her presence. She's the mentor to her three waitresses here, played by Julia Roberts in her film debut, Lili Taylor and Annabeth Gish, all going through a variety of romantic issues, with Taylor seen in the very beginning about to faint as she prepares to tie the knot, something that never happens. Vincent D'Onofrio, William R. Moses and Adam Storke are the men in their lives, and the film rotates between the three, then goes back to the pizza shop where Farrell promises at some point throughout the film to reveal the secret recipe for her sauce.While there's a lot going on, the film becomes interesting as you get to know each of these women because they are far from cliched and quite different than the heroines of most comedies of this nature. The script has them nicely fleshed-out with individual characteristics that are believable, and their performances make them seem like someone the audience might know. They are not Hollywood's typical version of what passes as romantic comedy heroines today, and that is what helps this in becoming a modern comedy classic that has a big cult following. Even if it hadn't introduced Julia Roberts, this would definitely have appeal today.There's a lot going on plot-wise, and the film has a fine supporting cast to flesh the film out, especially Joanna Merlin as Roberts' mother, Louis Turenne as a snooty food critic, and soap favorites Ann Flood and John Cunningham as Roberts' possible in-laws to be. When I was younger, I thought that this film was highly overrated, but individual moments are superb. Farrell walks off with the film, even just walking down the aisle at the wedding in the opening scene, been barking at one of the waitresses that the pizza is getting cold in the follow-up. This may not be mystical as a film, but there are some moments in it that are truly magical.
