Others say...
"Isn't it cute to be a hooker?" Hollywood took some of the most ludicris ideas and turned them into gold. While we have departed from the traditional "feel good" movie for anyone or anything and have more harsh realities in popular movies, this was one of the last few movies from the 80s / early 90s that made us think anything is possible. But still, a Hollywood hooker and a cut throat business tycoon? I guess it could happen. This was the movie that launched Julia Roberts into superstardom, based on her photogenic appearence and charisma. Ever since, she has been annoying audiences because she can't seem to launch herself any further than that. Are we supposed to really believe that the Cinderella story can really be applied to a white collar businessman and a hooker who are holed up in a five star California hotel as the palace? Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are both so cute and cuddly. Instead of drug and alcohol abuse they are both clean and sober, cute to look at, and good hearted people at their core rather than the usual sleaze and dysfunction both would be bringing into the situation. Three stars are for the role of Jason Alexander. He would rise to his own stardom as the bumbling George Costanza of Seinfeld fame, but to see him play a cut throat white collar businessman who would give a woman a beatdown put him in another light. Ha ha ha ... "The movie is a reminder...all women are whores." Worst movie and plot of all time. Women appeal to this movie because deep down, their all prostitutes who are looking to be rescued by a rich man. Richard Gere hires Julia Roberts(the whore) as his beyotch for the week for the amount of $3,000. After spending 6 days with her, roughly 4 to 5 hours a night, he decides he is in love with this whore. Now, Julia Roberts character(Vivian) over the course of the week seems to forget she is a prostitute, and gets easily offended when someone reminds her. Don't you know, billionaires fall for street whores every day! So, after knowing this buttwhore for 6 days(not even a week), Richard Gere's character(Edward) decides he wants to lower his IQ to that of the street whore, and proceeds to blow a billion dollar business deal and punch his longtime friend in the face over this hooker. This could possibly be the worst movie of all time...even worse than Police Academy 9. Women will generally tell you this is a wonderful movie because it's a dream for all women. Flop on their backs, spread their legs, and some rich guy will make all their money problems go away. They should have made a Pretty Woman 2, where the prostitute(Vivian) divorces the rich businessman(Edward) and proceeds to take half his money because she feels she is "entitled" to it. The movie is a reminder to all men though....women are all prostitutes, and don't ever lose sight of it!!!!!!! ... "5 Stars!!!" Fantastic movie! One I've seen over and over and never tire watching. Richard Gere is handsome, sweet and caring. Julia Roberts plays a hardworking, beautiful and selfless woman. Great cast and wonderful plot. Definitely a movie that will go down in history as one of the best! Highly recommended. "Original ReWreck" I was so excited to be able to watch this movie on DVD as my VHS copy had bit the dust years ago. I had this movie memorized from start to finish. It is a 90's version of Cinderalla remade with the best and brightest stars. From rags to riches, Julia Roberts proves she is more than just a prostitute from Hollywood Boulevard who wins the heart of Richard Gere (a multi-millionare-billionaire-who owns his own prosperous company). With scene stealers from Julia's roommate Laura San Giacomo and the style of the Beverly Hills Hotel Manager Hector Elizondo you are sure to be taken in by this movie. However, don't be fooled with the glitz and glamour of this 15th anniversary edition. It never fails to produce the dark side of Hollywood in this 21st century that we live in where there isn't always a happy ending. I was thoroughly disappointed by the multiple additional scenes added to this movie that were not part of the original that, in my opinion, continued to try and remind the audience that Julia Roberts was still just a prostitute. It was a huge disappointment to me and added not value to the movie. "When did prostitution become adorable?" With all the "careers" they could have used for Julia Roberts in this film, why was prostitution the first choice? She could have been the desk clerk, a cab driver, the cashier in a book store, a chef in the hotel kitchen, a nanny, a manicurist, the president of the damn bank across the street... anything, anything, anything but a hooker! What is romantic about VD, rape, jail time, pimps, etc? What does this film say about relationships between men and women? I know this is a popular film, and that scares me even more. A big studio put big money into this, and it tells me all I need to know about their attitudes.

What our customer's say! "A star is born in a wasted movie...", One of those movies you watch every time it comes on television because it's so cute, yet one of those movies you're almost ashamed to adore because it has almost no redemptive features; `Pretty Woman' has become an instant classic for almost no reasons at all. Sure, it's cute, but so aren't a lot more respectable films. Oh yeah, I forgot; Julia Roberts is amazing here. So, that answers all questions doesn't it? Why do we love this movie? We love it because it gave us Julia, our beloved Julia. She is charming and warm and heartbreaking and moving and memorable and sincere and we just want to eat her up in every scene. The problem with `Pretty Woman' is that when you take Roberts' magnetism out of the equation you have a rather empty film that relies on clichés to carry it across the finish line. It works to an extent (in the fact that it is charming in that totally forced kind of way) but it is nothing spectacular. So Edward, a wealthy businessman, pays Vivian, a streetwalker, a large sum of money to pretend to be his girlfriend over the weekend while he attends some social events. He falls in love with her and visa-versa but this poses a problem because he starts to question his ethics (business-wise) and his partners are furious and attempt to break apart the pair. Total cliché. The acting is also hit-or-miss. Like I said, Roberts is luminous. We all know that (she has the Oscar nomination to prove it), but aside from her there are only a few standouts. Jason Alexander is a little overdone, but I'm not a fan of his to begin with. Laura San Giacomo is decent, but underused so she is rather unimportant. Hector Elizondo is wonderful, and totally chews up his few scenes. Then there is the rather boring and uninspired Richard Gere. I have never been blown away by this guy, and here he just kind of sulks there throughout the movie. Does this guy know how to evoke any emotion? He just always appears so sullen. Him and Nicolas Cage; like seriously, why are they acting? Gere may be even worse that Cage for me. At least Cage as the perfection that was `Leaving Las Vegas' and `Adaptation' (how he pulled those off is beyond me), and what does Gere have? Chicago? I rest my case. Anyways, this movie is really all about Roberts. The film is a mess really; plot-wise at least. It doesn't make a lot of sense and it glorifies a profession that is rather insulting and degrading. At least `Leaving Las Vegas' had the decency to create a likable character stuck in a gritty world. `Pretty Woman' is so obsessed with being charming and likable that it insults the audience by expecting us to buy into this Disney World variation of prostitution. Oh well, the movie is a C- but Roberts is a solid A+. "Fast & Accurate Delivery of what was ordered", I needed this is a hurry and that is what I got. It was delivered as promised and was exactly what I ordered. "ROMANTIC COMEDY", I have been a fan of this movie from the very first time I viewed it many years ago. I never get tired of this movie because it has so much to offer both male and female viewers. Richard Gere certainly fits the part of business man and reluctant lover while Julia Roberts is bright and bubbly through out and the romantic ending blows me away every time. I consider Prety Woman to be a clasic. "Cinderella Meets King Midas", "Pretty Woman" harks back to various well-trodden themes: the Pygmalion legend, the prostitute with a heart of gold, and the poor soul who teaches the wealthy person the true values in life. Julia Roberts is a hooker who is rescued from life on the streets by the wealthy and ruthless business tycoon Richard Gere, and she rescues him from a life of reckless power and greed by teaching him business ethics and morality. The audience, because of the acting, the L.A. setting, and the clever way the film was produced and directed, willingly suspends disbelief and accepts this adult fairy tale with its very suggestive sexual action and dialogue. The film is well done and was very successful partly because of the romantic chemistry or alchemy that comes across in the love affair between Roberts and Gere. The scene in which Roberts is spellbound by "La Traviata" proves to Gere that she is a sensitive soul. (In that opera a hooker also falls for a wealthy man.) The way the two meet seems far-fetched. Do wealthy people really talk about and show off their wealth the way he does? And are they so lacking in street smarts? Just scratch below the surface, and this hooker and tycoon are both nice people. It's a very watchable fairy tale. Great if you don't stop to analyze too much. Even the manager of the luxury hotel has a heart of gold. Just enjoy this Cinderella meets King Midas cotton candy of a movie. Nine Lives Too Many The Daemon in Our Dreams The Rice Queen Spy Clawed Back from the Dead "Entertaining", Movie ratings are always very subjective, with one person's gem being another's trash. That said, I enjoyed the movie, despite it being a bit unrealistic. If your goal is just to be entertained you will likely enjoy this movie. If you are out to play movie critic you will find lots of problems. 4 stars 
Read this reviews before You buy... "I bought this for my mom.", My mom loves this movie and had a purchased copy on VHS tape, so I replaced it with the "Pretty Woman 15th Anniversary Special Edition" DVD. I've heard no complaints from her, so I guess that this was a good purchase. "Pretty Woman", This is definitely a fun movie and the music is just great. I like the actors and will look at this movie whenever I need a pick me up. "Pretty Woman DVD", My Favorite movie!! I was glad to have gotten the aniversary edition at a good value!! "Read some of the one stars", There are some seriously bitter people out there who haven't figured out that movies aren't life. And as far as light-hearted romantic MOVIES go -- this is one of the best (period) "Simply your", This dvd includes two deleted scenes which wasn't shown on the 10th Anniversary Edition. What is the different between cabs and crabs? Figure it out yourself. Spoiler. |
