Entertaining

2008-08-18
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

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.

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.

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)
