Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take out some parts in this movie and it could be PG-13
Review: Okay, I know that kids in sixth grade probably shouldn't watch this movie, but my aunt hit the fast forward button more than once. Sometimes it makes me so mad when directors and writers put in so much sexual content. People don't go to the movies to see that stuff. I love this movie so much, and if it weren't for some scenes in it, more people could enjoy it as well. I liked JUST about everything in it. If film makers think people go to movies to see that kind of stuff, they are terribly mistaken. of course if you have a remote with a fast forward button, go ahead and watch this movie. Because under all of that junk it is a good movie.

Summary: A message of hope for our children
Review: I learned so much from 'Pretty Woman'. Previously I considered prostitution to be a symptom of many of the ills in society, like loneliness, emotional neglect, addiction, inequalities in wealth and access to education, but now I know that prostitution can be fun - in this movie it's fun for the prostitute and it's fun for the client. Also, in the past, I suspected that there was more to life than money and good looks, but 'Pretty Woman' set me straight on that one: boy, was I wrong! Money is the most important thing in the world. It even makes love possible. Having been taught so many important lessons about life, I think it only fair that we, the viewing public, reward the producers and stars of this film with many millions of dollars - it might even be fair to call them prostitutes too, and to consider ourselves, the audience, as their clients.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty, pretty woman!
Review: I suppose you could call Julia Roberts in this movie a modern day Eliza Doolittle without the cockney accent. Julia never looked better, even dressed as a hooker she can't look bad. This is one of those feel good movies you will want to watch over and over again. Great cast all around. A must have for every home video collection.

Summary: Nauseating
Review: Don't get me wrong, I love Julia Roberts. But i was sickened by the message of this film. (1) Prostitution is just another job -- look, someone as perfect as Julia's character does it. Come ON, arent we past romanticizing a profession that degrades both purchaser and seller? (2) Even more nauseating: Happiness is a credit card. The worst scene in the movie -- which i vividly remember 10 years later -- is that the great gift that Gere gives to Roberts is not love or self-respect -- it's the ability to wave his credit card in the faces of the snooty salespeople who looked down on her. THIS is what gives her self-respect -- the ability to spend someone else's money. I find this grossly offensive.

Review: Pretty Movie

The 80's was quite an era for movies with The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Goonies. However there is one movie which stands out in my mind, Pretty Woman. The audience quickly falls in love with the uplifting, inspiring fairytale brought to life. Julia Roberts and Richard Greer give memorable performances Roberts portraying a lost prostitute doing whatever it takes to make ends meet when she falls upon Richard Greer, a rich successful business man, in trouble on the wrong side of town. These two meet by accident but fall in love by chance making for a moving, romantic film with an incredible message and talented actors. Due to its storyline and message as well as the talented actors that help bring the screen to life Pretty Woman is the best movie of the eighties. Pretty Woman is a perfect example that dreams do come true and bad times will only get better. Vivian, played by Julia Roberts, is stuck on the bad side of town selling her body in order to survive. At heart she is not the slutty, no body prostitute type and all it takes is a little fate to save her from the streets of Los Angeles. Edward, played by Richard Greer, comes roaring through town in an expensive sports car obviously catching the attention of the girls on the corner. Vivian approaches him not knowing this man will change her life. Edward saves Vivian from the streets and Vivian saves Edward from his workaholic, heartless ways. These complete opposites end up falling in love and making the other person better than ever. Vivian reminds Edward to live life and see beyond work. Edward gives Vivian a chance to be more than a sex toy giving her confidence and the push she needs to straighten out and become the woman which lies within. This movie illustrates the thought that people come in our lives for a reason. Love does conquer all and the dreams of a fairytale romance can come true. As the fairytales always go the poor, hopeless, unpromising girl can become the princess when her prince charming sees beyond the exterior and into her soul. A good story line can only be effective when talented actors bring the feelings and emotions to life. Julia Roberts and Richard Greer do just that with their incredible on screen chemistry and ability to become the characters they are portraying. The spark between Roberts and Greer is present from the first moment their characters meet. Their body language creates the mood of attraction and desire. The audience becomes engulfed in the characters growing love for each other and the way each compliments the personality of the other. Opposites can attract; Greer's rigid and stressed working character is perfect for Vivian's carefree, unorganized demeanor. With out the talent of these two actors the chemistry between the characters would not have been as effective and apparent. The way each of actors become the character they are portraying makes the film even more memorable and close to the hearts of it's audience. Greer and Roberts made the movie! A good storyline? ... CHECK ... Good actors to play the roles effectively? ... CHECK, proving Pretty Woman is the best flick of the eighties and it have proven it's self over and over again as each generation falls in love with the film. The brought to life fairytale of Pretty Woman is hard not to fall in love with, the movie gives people hope and a warm feeling about love and romance. The on screen chemistry makes each look and touch seem filled with real life meaning and love. Roberts and Greer are perfect to work together and their talents have been seen again in later movies such as Run Away Bride. Pretty Woman is a movie I cannot get enough of, it will continue to be viewed for years to come.
