Roy Orbison should be proud.......2007-09-14

Pretty Woman begins with corporate raider Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) impulsively picking up a streetwalking prostitute named Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts). He ends up hiring her for the week as an escort so that he can have a date for certain business dinners that are very important to him. While she is intelligent, she is also unaccustomed to living the life of luxury and there is a fair amount of humor that flows from her "fish out of water" status. It's a fairly silly setup for the movie and if you want to pick it apart, it's no great challenge to do so. It does, however, provide a very entertaining backdrop for a Cinderella love story.

This was not the first part in Julia Roberts' career, but it is certainly the one that made her a star. She is funny, sexy, and has a great warmth and vulnerability that makes it easy to believe that any man could fall in love with her, even a hotshot corporate raider. Gere does his usual solid acting job. Hector Elizondo steals the show as the stuffy hotel manager who helps Vivian learn etiquette and softens considerably in the process. Actually, the cast is very strong from top to bottom with small roles by Jason Alexander and Ralph Bellamy going a long way to making this film worth watching over and over.

Pretty Woman is certainly never going to win any awards for the most intellectually stimulating film of all time, but that's okay. It's funny when it wants to be and touching when it tries. And despite the silly story, there are some underlying themes that all of us can relate to and that feel very real. This one belongs in any DVD library.

Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition).......2007-08-24

I have always loved movies starring Julia Roberts and/or Richard Gere. I suppose the whole world has seen this funny, wacky, loveable couple try to work out the problems of being a "call girl". The "1-900-Babe" by Gere just cracks me up!

Story of respect, love, and compassion.......2007-07-20

While I was skeptical about this movie before watching it, I was completely taken aback by its wonderful story and enduring lessons. It was the appropriate combination of romance, comedy, and drama which made this movie, while still a chick flick, one that is heart touching and emphasises the importance of judging a person by their character and not simply thier professions. It also emphasises the importance of not making assumptions about people in order to figure out the essence of the true person. A heartwarming film - much recommended!

GREAT MOVIE.......2007-05-13

GREAT CHICK FLICK, THE CINDERELLA STORY WITH RICHARD GERE, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT??? -SMILE-

Best Romantic Comedy of All Time.......2007-03-18

This 15th Anniversary edition has some deleted scenes inserted into the movie that has had some "purists" howling, but for me, I think it adds a new dimension to the relationship between Edward and Vivian. Aside from that the commentary from Garry Marshall was fun (of course, hearing from Julia Roberts and Richard Gere would have been great, but whatever). The wrap party is a joke; they shouldn't have bothered inserting that. The "Pretty Woman Tour" which takes you to the actual places where the movie was filmed was also informative. But all that aside, it's about the movie and it is a movie that still seems fresh and original all these years later. It's well worth owning because this a is a movie that will surely get more than one viewing.

Like a pumpkin that transforms into a carriage, some very shrewd casting (and the charisma of Julia Roberts, in particular) morphed this story of a Hollywood whore into a Disneyfied Cinderella story--and a mainstream megahit. This is the movie that made Roberts a star; the charm of her personality helping tremendously to carry viewers over the rough spots in the script (which was originally a cynical tale about prostitution called 3000--after the amount of money Richard Gere's character pays the prostitute to stay with him for the week). Gere is the silver-haired Wall Street knight who sweeps streetwalker Roberts into a fantasy world of room service at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel and fashion boutique shopping on Rodeo Drive. The supporting cast is also appealing, including Laura San Giacomo as Roberts's hooker pal, Hector Elizondo as the hotel manager, Jason Alexander, Ralph Bellamy, and Hank Azaria. Now, is this something you want your sons and daughters to see? That's entirely up to you. --Jim Emerson

Pretty Woman.......2007-05-07

Pretty Woman (10th Anniversary Edition) A great modern adaption of the age old classic love story. A woman from the wrong side of the tracks, who finds and falls in love a rich handsome prince, and they live happily ever after. With a few more nodern twists to the story.

My Order.......2007-01-15

It was shipped quickly and I recieved it promptly. I am very pleased.

All these years later, still a fabulous film.......2006-05-18

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere magnetize the entire film and pull you into a fantasy land where dreams do come true. I understand the naysayers, but this film is not about Julia Roberts being a hooker. Obviously, some people find that horribly offensive. This movie is about love, gaining self-respect and believing in yourself (Kit . . . "take care of YOU"). It's a feel good film about pursuing your dreams. Obviously, if some 14 year old decides she wants to be a hooker when she grows up so she can meet her prince charming, she needs some serious guidance. Yet I highly doubt even most 14 year old's are that stupidly literal about a film such as this. I'm 50 years old and, you know what? A LOT of my dreams HAVE come true in ways I never would have expected, including romatically. So there;0).

The extras are 'pretty', but parts of the character development are unrealistic.......2005-10-07

The studio took a lot of time with anniversary extras for this self-described modern day 'Cinderella' film. I'm impressed with the number and quality of extras which are included inside this one release. Even with all of the technology we now have, very few movies get such extensive anniversary releases.

I get a kick out of watching a young Julia Roberts and Richard Gere (were we all that young once?) parade around in late 80's fashions, but I've got to add my voice to the people who are questioning why Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) had to be a prostitute?

Even ruthless corporate raiders are going to have second thoughts about sleeping with prostitutes in the AIDS era--much less falling head over heels with one. Gere and Roberts truly are amazing actors for their subsequently having a career beyond this screen play. The large plot holes would have easily sunk less talented individuals.

If Gary Marshall did not want to have her actually look and act like a prostitute, then Vivian Ward needed to have been made into anything else. Surely there were other low-income and barely making it jobs in 1980s/1990's Los Angeles which could have provided the inspiration for consistent character development.

The production extras which tell what filming this movie was like were really funny. However, Marshall obviously did not know how to direct this film as it had been written. The film would have worked even better if Roberts's character had been anything else other than a prostitute.

A great "sleeper" movie........2005-09-18

This is a decent fun movie in all. Kind of a "sleeper" hit when it came out, you might want to check it out, if you haven't seen it. It will especially appeal to those who have dreams of being swept away by a "prince charming." In this case the prince is Gere, who is older, but that's seems cool (Micheal and Cathrine, Tom and Katie), and Roberts, who's hot (that's cool too). It is a "interesting" depiction of prostitution, it must be different in downtown L.A. than in my city. Here, the women on the streets are not as pretty as Julia Roberts or even her friend. As I've driven by them on my way out with friends, it's hard, difficult, impossible, to imagine some super rich billionare deciding to be with one of them. But, I guess in L.A. prostitues are all super-hot, really decent people on the inside, full of life wisdom and civility, that's just waiting to come out. There is a good extra scene of a time Gere is hasseled outside a bar by some "punks" and his driver shows off his gun and Gere tells the punks that he "has a permit." It's a good thing he does, street punks are often really concerned with the legality of the status of the people around them and most of them are probably lawyers just waiting for Ally McBeal to come rescue them on clean them up to find they are handsome, well-spoken, honest, gentlemen, just waiting to come out and be rich and perfect for Ally, or whoever.
So why buy:
Fun movie from the past
New scence (well hardly any)
VHS tapes will be a good relic for showing your grandkids
Good scene about hostile takeovers for quickly showing your Economics class
Julia/Richard are good looking people you can romanticize (if you're into that type of person/thing)
It's inexpensive
You might want to teach you children that money and wealth are sexy and cool, and the power that comes with them is important.

Anyway, hoped you liked my review...? Take care. Oh, and Julia, if you are reading this, I am guessing you like to keep up on what people think of your work, I would love to invite you over for dinner. Have one of your agents look me up. Even though I am high school teacher, I am just one rich/hot woman away from being a cleaned up, funny, well-dressed, sophisticated, red carpet-walking, companion, see you soon!!

Seduced - Pretty When You Cry.......2006-02-25

THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COMPELLING MYSTERY WITH SUCH A TWIST IN THE ENDING THAT YOU DON'T SEE COMING. SAM ELLIOT AS USUAL GAVE A GREAT PERFORMANCE. HE CAN PLAY SUCH AN ARRAY OF PARTS AND DOES A GREAT JOB IN THIS MOVIE.

Boring When You Pander.......2004-06-03

The characters are cliches, the plot is unsurprising, the cinematography is prosaic, and the direction is leaden.

The film has a one dimensional sadist, an unchanging victim, and a pathetically adolescent rescuer. None of the characters in this film have integrity, there is no hero, so we could care less. The film maker exploits with out passion or drama. The sex scenes and nudity are by the numbers -- there is no sense of the forbidden, no sensuality, no fun.

On the plus side, the film demonstrates unsuccessful pandering at its best.

surpisingly fun and decent movie.......2003-08-06

man meets women, woman has abusive and cruel husband but does that stop our hero from falling for woman? i dont think so. so ensues a love triangle that has you guessing what will happen next during the entire film. outstanding performances all around but jamie kennedy brings to life the hero of our tale, coming across as both sensitive and yet not to weak or sappy as to be pushed over although he does get manipulated thru the movie.
and if this were my situation, i might do the same things because the lady of the movie is sara, played by carlton elizabeth. she is intoxicating. there is a scene in which she takes our hero to the dance floor. without doing anything explicit at that moment she still managed to knock me off my feet. wounded, lost, trapped in bad situation but not sure she wants to leave are just a few of the emotions sara threw off.
all in all a fun movie, not an emmy but still good fun with a great cast and a fine story full of sex, deceipt, murder and a search for the truth

Oooh Jamie Kennedy show your sexy side.........2002-11-30

I have a short list of actors who make me raise a brow, and make me blush once or twice. Jamie Kennedy is one of them, and once you see this film you will understand why. Most of us know Jamie as the goofy Randy from Scream, or being an hysterical goofball on his TV show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, but once you've seen Jamie serious, you'll have a new respect for him as an actor. I don't just mean the roles like in Boiler Room, Three Kings, and Enemy of the State, I mean a real leading man's role..and that's what we get here!

Jamie Kennedy plays Albert Straka, a good man yet naive when it comes to the manipulation going on around him. Kennedy has a sensitivity to him that I find rare in actors. Leonardo DiCaprio and Giovanni Ribisi (oddly enough Kennedy has worked with both - Romeo and Juliet, and Boiler Room) also have this soft gentle style to their craft, yet Kennedy has proven to me with this role, that he is the best at it. :) He brings an innocence to this role that could have been missed if it were played by another actor. The story needed a sensitive, caring, man - yet with an inner strength that did not bore us, or make us lose interest in his well being. Kennedy makes us love Albert, and in the end, makes us pity him.

Albert meets and falls in love with a beautiful woman, Sara played by Carlton Elizabeth. Her husband played by Michael Cavalieri, is an abusive, cruel man, and this is where the triangle begins. On one side you have the sensitive loving gentleman, and on the other, the cruel, savage husband. In the middle we have Sara, pleading for Albert to save her, yet in this story we ask ourselves..does she really want to be saved?

This film had my interest from beginning to end, much of it due to Jamie Kennedy's performance. I found myself physically exhausted, and emotionally drained after watching this film. I so desperately felt for Albert. A good performance from Sam Elliot who plays Detective Black, who when things turn nasty, is determined to pin the crime on Albert.

Bravo to Jamie Kennedy! A wonderful performance from a talented actor, and a verrry sexy man!

I am making this a little vague on purpose. No spoilers here. Only this; Love, sex, murder, addiction..a good film to watch, a great film to own!!
