Not just a chick flic
Many of the reveiews refer to this movie as a "chick flic" inferring that its probably only for the girls. I think this does it a dis-service as the film is witty, enthralling and very funny at times. The supporting cast add a great deal to the film especially the Hotel Manager & Edwards creepy little lawyer who is a figure that most will despise.
Its great to see the story unfold with Vivienne trying to cope with Edwards lifestyle and the unhelpful shop staff. It all turns out good for her in the end ,as expected, but this doesn't detract from the film somehow.
Simply put, get it now whether you are a chick or not !

Utter classic, good date movie too!
Well what can you say? If you don't know this movie you need to get out from under that rock you've been living under. The tale is sweet and romantic but not without a harsh lesson or two.

It's interesting to remember that when this was made Gere was the expert and Roberts a new actress on the scene. My tip..keep an eye out for the classic necklace scene...that was unscripted but kept in

Modern Day Cinderella Romantic Comedy with a Twist
For anyone who hasn't inhabited Earth and missed this one then it comes highly recommended as one of the best fantasy Romantic Comedy drama's with a fantastic soundtrack ranging from Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" from the title and Roxette's classic "It must have been Love"...Richard Gere plays an ultra wealthy business property tycoon Edward Lewis obsessed with the kill but lonely enough to employ the services of an apprentice hooker in Vivian Ward played by Julia Roberts only to find that love can be sought in the strangest places....Welcome to Hollywood and what's your dream...well Vivian wanted all or nothing whilst Edward just wanted a short hire and fire with no strings......what followed was one of the most chemistry based modern romantic comedy drama's of today..it's hard to believe it celebrated it's 15th Anniversary recently....The glamour, glitz, humour, highs and lows are enough to make a grown woman weep which may happen as it's that type of film but with a twist...Pretty Woman is one of those films that stand the test of time with a lot of chemistry mixed with a touch of class....buy it...you'll love it

Pretty good
Loath as I am to say this Pretty Woman is a good movie. It was one of the best movies of 1990; Goodfellas being number 1.
Old horse chops and the handsome Richard Gere shine in this ultimate feel-good movie. Hollywood loves a rags-to-riches story and this movie delivers the American dream by the truckload. Horse-chops and Gere spend a week together and fall in love. Love conquers all.


Neverland meets suburbia.
Ever dreamt of being swept off your feet by some riduculously rich handsome man?

If you have, then this may just be the ideal film for you.

Pretty Womman captures the harshness of modern day life and flips it over into a world of fun, love, romance and laughter.

Meet Vivian, a young woman who has taken the wrong path in life, prostitution and scrambling around for the weeks rent.

Meet Edward, an unbearably handsomly rich man, own his own business yet is unhappy.

When the two meet the chemistry is clear, and the audience is plunged into a world of fantasy.

And the rest they say is history.....


I can only urge you to watch this film, some may hate it others will love it, but i certainly love it.
