Product Description
Amazon.com essential video
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

Modern Day Pygmaelion,
By Gary Selikow (Great Kush) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pretty Woman (DVD)
Pretty Woman is a great movie. When Julia Roberts acted in this 1990 classic, she was sexy, vibrant and cute. In her latest movies she seems to have lost her charm, and appears awkward and frumpy.It is a romantic comedy about a lovable prostitute Vivienne (Julia Roberts) hired by a spoiled, jaded billionaire, Edward (Richard Gere) for a highly unusual assignment. Needless to say, this encounter irreparably changes both of their lives forever. Thouroughly a story that is funny, touching and engaging, The change is Vivienne from a streetwalker to a lady mirrors a Pygmalion/My Fair Lady type of theme. As the voice at the end reminds us, sometimes your dreams come true and sometimes they don't but you are always free to dream! Some pretty memorable stuff in this movie!

Modern Day Cinderella,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pretty Woman 10th (VHS Tape)
Actors here are Brilliant, my thumbs are way up! I can watch this film over and over again. If Disney's Cinderella are every girls dream. Pretty Woman maybe every boys dream,Why? Because when Richard Gere discovered that He's working so hard to pin down other competitors in business, at the same time his Attorney (Jason Alexander)benefits from it, Money wise. Richard decided to follow his heart and continue falling in love with the Pretty Woman. So sad, Julia Roberts is a prostitute here but a good one, she even have several colors and flavors of condoms to choose from,That's safe sex! This is a great story plot a millionaire meets his match a prostitute with a golden heart.In reality prostitutes deserves a little break. As for the Pretty Woman this is a big break, Kudos!

Sweet, funny, and silly, yes, but enjoyable,

This review is from: Pretty Woman 10th (DVD)
Feel-good film extraordinaire. Sure, it's a suspension of reality. It's an improbable set of events. But, that's movie watching sometimes. You must agree to believe the set of reality they have laid out for you. Once you allow yourself to believe the premise is true--at least in the context of the movie--then you can sit back and enjoy the movie for the saccarhine sweet puff it is.
