Summary: Classic!
Review: If you're the type who swoons over every Cinderella story you see, this movie is for you! I can't imagine many people haven't seen this movie yet! Julia Roberts and Richard Gere are amazing in this film. The chemistry is sizzling, and the ending perfect. A great watch for romance lovers everywhere!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't Waste Your Time, Buy the Regular Version
Review: The orginal release is a well-edited movie filled with some excellent sub-themes of self-worth, self-image, true selfless love versus lust, as well as a great visual lesson on real friendship versus friendship built on using someone for personal gain (the two prostitues vs. the billioniare and his lawyer).

I rate the original movie five stars. However, this new edition is a GREAT disappointment. The additional scenes do not even match in lighting, etc. and create a poorly edited version of a great story. The 'extra features' are sloppy and seem just tossed in to 'add value'. I'm guessing the studio did not want to spend the extra money to get the cast to sit down and do some meaningful interviews.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! Buy the orginal version on DVD or Video.

Summary: Why change what worked?
Review: The charming fantasy those of us enjoyed in the theatres has been unnecessarily cluttered with "additional scenes", and foul language that adds nothing to the movie, but an R rating. Why tamper with what worked? In my opinion, they should have left the original alone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a High Point in Romantic Comedy
Review: This is a Fairy Tale of a Prostitute (Julia Roberts) and a Rich Business Man (Richard Gere) who fall in love. There it is naturally classified a romantic comedy; but the reality of it is it's so idyllic it's truly a Fairy Tale. Very Beautiful. Story all lovers of Romance must see it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not very deep, just fun.
Review: Okay, so you won't be pondering life's greatest questions after watching this movie, but you will have that nice warm feeling of a happy ending. A modern day Cinderella, this is one of the best Julia Roberts movies made. No wonder she and Richard Gere teamed up again in The Runaway Bride, they have such strong chemistry. Jason Alexander's character is really slimy and Laura San Giacomo is lovable as Robert's roommate. Definitely a must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, but keep the kids out of the room!
Review: The plot is so consistent with the Disney kids movies, "Helpless Princess, saved by the knight in shining armor". Other than not wanting to see countless generations of our daughters be brainwashed by this ridiculous stereotype of the helpless female, I love the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I own it on DVD and VHS and both are wonderful.
Review: Julia's First Academy Award Nominee. Great story and ending.You won't be disappointed as long as your in the mood for a romantic/comedy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I still laugh everytime I watch it.
Review: Cinderella, Julia Roberts style! A really enjoyable movie that you won't admit to owning, but will watch at least once every six months. Julia plays the accidental prostitute destined to be swept away by rich (and only used a prostitute once in his life) corporate mogul Richard Gere. Every once in a while Hollywood casts a movie so perfectly that the chemistry creates wonderfully entertaining energy, this is one of those. It was done so well that they tried to re-create it with (the less successful) Runaway Bride. It is funny and really very endearing, truly charming. Julia (as usual) does a fantastic job and even Richard (an irritating snob) manages to carry his own weight.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD Marshall Comments
Review: You all know Pretty Woman by now. If you like this movie, I do, get the DVD and listen to Gary Marshall's comments. If you know Gary Marshall at all you know he is a hoot! I laughed during the whole movie just listening to his comentary on making the movie. I my never watch this movie again with out his comentary.

Rating: 5 stars
