Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay movie
Review: Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are once again on the big screen together. Gere plays a newspaper reporter doing a story on a woman (Roberts)getting or trying to marry for the forth time. This movie is great for a laugh or two, but it's a movie you keep looking at your watch during.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Sweet Movie!
Review: Julia Roberts has always been one of my favorite actresses since I saw "My Best Friend's Wedding". So when I saw this movie, I was bound to love it. Though I didn't find to be quite as good as "MBFW",I still liked it. It's a sweet movie that was fun to watch. Yes, it was a little predictable, but, in my opinion, every romantic comedy is! Throughout the movie, I hated Gere when Roberts hated him, but during the rehearsal wedding scene, I loved him! I think this movie does a GREAT job of getting you to really "feel" for the characters! I was crying towards the end! This movie is definitely one you should see if you haven't already!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: In a word; YUCK
Review: This isn't just a reflex action to that romantic comdey genre, although admitddly it isn't among my favourites. But this film is badly paced, to be quite honest I was staring at the furniture in Gere's apartment during the second half of the film. Sure a romantic comedy being predictable is a given but tedious, sachyrinne, badly directed, acted and just about everything else. This thing looked like a sitcom. For those of you who claim "Gere's best performance", have you seen Primal Fear? Internal Afairs(Where he was better then the film) or even An Officer and A Gentleman. You rent of these popcorn films for a good lazy afternoon, and this will bore you to death. For what a romantic comedy is supposed to be, see Four Weddings and A Funeral.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Julia Roberts...
Review: Great to see Julia Roberts and Richard Gere together, yet again! It was a little slow to develop in places, but it was a GREAT movie. Proud to Own this one as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Pretty Woman and Notting Hill.
Review: I never liked Pretty Woman much but I did love My Best Friend's Wedding. In 1999 I saw Notting Hill and didn't found nothing spectacular about it and then a couple of weeks later I saw Runaway Bride's trailer and kinda liked it so I went to see it and waoo I felt that it was as good or maybe even better than My Best Friend's Wedding which was my favorite Julia Roberts movie now I can't decide between those two. At last I see what is the chemistry between Roberts and Gere, even though I don't sense it on Pretty Woman. I didn't liked Erin Brockovich much, she is better with Romantic Comedies.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Romantic Comedy With a Fresh Plot, but Still Dissapointing
Review: Runaway Bride is bearable, but only for a big fan of romantic comedy, Richard Gere, and Julia Roberts. It does gives a fresh, funny look at Romantic Comedy (though not much more). Julia Roberts shines (as always) in her role as a confused woman with the bad habit of dumping grooms at the altar. Richard Gere has an average performance as a cold-hearted opinion journalist. Gere, who plays Ike Graham, is fired after the newspaper is sued by Maggie Carpenter (Roberts) for slanderous and untruthful journalism. Ike seeks out Maggie to prove that his article was not unmerited, and to salvage his career.

At first, when Ike and Maggie meet, they greatly dislike each other. After a while, though, Ike begins to understand Maggie more, and they become friends. They grow closer, and Maggie ends up dumping her fiance for Ike- definitely an unbelievable move. The acting is average, and the plot is new, but contrived. In the end this is an alright flick, but it does not succeed on many other levels.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible!
Review: This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! It's advertised as being a "follow-up" to Pretty Woman? I don't think so! This movie is nowhere near as good as Pretty Woman! The script is weak, it's completley miscast...I could go on! Don't waste your time or money on this one!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not quite Pretty Woman, but it works.
Review: I have to admit I was not one of the millions of people that rushed to see "Runaway Bride" while it wa still in theatres. I waited until it came out on video so I wouldn't feel that I had wasted all that money on soda and popcorn to see a bomb. I was pleasantly surprised! Julia Roberts and Richard Geer do a fantastic job of creating instant on screen chemistry, and really carry this movie off. This is a terrific romantic love story, and I put it in the same class as "When Harry Met Sally...". If you haven't seen it, give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GET READY TO FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN
Review: THIS IS SUCH A CUTE MOVIE JULIA ROBERTS IS THEMOST BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS TODAY.I LOVED HER AND GERE IN PRETTY WOMAN I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 2001 RELEASE OF PRETTY WOMAN 2.
