Summary: pretty woman is a pretty damn good movie!
Review: when i first saw this movie i feel in love with the characters and how such a cute love story could even occur on hollywood boulevard. if you are a julia roberts fan ,as i am, this is one of the fundamental dvds needed for your collection, she shines in the role of vivian. i sure this is one of the greatest chick flicks of the century.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Woman
Review: I like movies but don't watch them as often as I'd like. Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts, is a classic for me that I've watched 100 times and will watch at least 100 more. Evokes every emotion. Chemistry between Julia and Richard is perfect.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie, DVD could be a better quality
Review: Pretty Woman is a great movie but the DVD could have been a better quality with improved picture and sound. I see a lot of cynical reviews on this site but this is a Hollywood movie not real life. Though it may never happen, this movie's story is entertaining and good fun that warms the heart.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Good Movie!
Review: I got this movie as a present a few years ago, it is a good movie and I enjoyed watching it and I liked Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. I don't have the video anymore and I recommend this movie but I would buy the widescreen DVD because the tape is just the standard edited pan & scan and tapes wear out!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Suspend your disbelief several times...very fluffy
Review: I am making it a point to view several popular films this year, films I somehow missed in the past. I'm starting out 2004 with "Pretty Woman", a film I've seen displayed on many home video shelves over the past decade.

I guess I don't like fairy tales about adults. If you have lived just a little bit and know anything about men, women, sex, money, class structure, human nature, etc. you might find this film to be quite silly. I do find it to be quite silly. However, in my teens I might have liked it much more. It probably seems like a very sexy film if you don't know too much about the real world, or you don't care much about the realities of wealth, sex, class, men, women... I give it two stars for nice sensual scenes.

By the way, I can't get over the offense Julia Roberts (a prostitute, and a streetwalker at that) takes when a wealthy Jason Alexander wants to "screw her". That is her job, but "love" changes everything in her world within the space of a few days. She's completely transformed, as is Richard Gere. If you like that kind of magical thinking, you will probably like this film.

The VHS version is currently sold along with "Mrs. Doubtfire" at a discount by Amazon. I don't think that these two films should be put together in a combo.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Director's Cut
Review: I enjoyed this movie and patiently waited for the DVD to come out. I bought this DVD and realized there is a reason these scenes were cut from the movie. They should have stayed on the cutting room floor. I end up fast forwarding through the scenes. I would much rather have the letterbox format without the extra scenes added. Oh well. Hopefully Touchstone Pictures will get the hint.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Theatrical Version Anywhere?
Review: I loved Pretty Woman in the theatres and wore my original VHS tape thin. Does anyone know if the theatrical version - NOT THE DIRECTORS CUT - can be bought on DVD? I know this movie so well that the additional footage in the directors cut drives me crazy.

Other than that - it's a excellent film

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Julia Roberts,a Pretty woman? Not a chance
Review: Can someone please tell me how jojo the dog faced boy (julia roberts) was cast in the role of Pretty woman? If it was pretty ugly woman, that I would understand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Woman
Review: Pretty Woman was released in 1987 by touchstone pictures has a running time of 106 minutes is rated R, and is closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Pretty Woman is a movie that touches on every woman's dream of being rescued by a handsome, rich, knight that will meet our every dream. Roberts plays a call girl who finds herself employed by a wealthy businessman who needs a companion for several meetings. Gere is a cold, unhappy, rich businessman who does not want the entanglement of a relationship, but needs an companion to several meetings, and that is why he hires Roberts. He finds that Roberts is more than meets the eye. He learns that people can be and are more than they seem. All the self-serving socialites who will do anything to be his wife have hardened Gere. Julia throws him for a loop when she would rather leave than have him think she was trying to make time with his dishonest friend. Pretty Woman is truly one of the best Cinderella stories available for viewing today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Woman
Review: This 1990 romantic comedy won Julia Roberts an Academy Award for Best Actress. The stage is set in Beverly Hills for Pretty Woman. Julia Roberts as Vivian Ward is a prostitute trying desperatly to save money to go back to college. Richard Gere as Edward Lewis is a successful and wealthy corporate executive who meets up with Vivian in an unusual way -- or maybe the usual way! Edward picks up Vivian on a street corner and offers her a large sum of money to spend a week with him. She accepts and he whisks her away to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where he showers her with luxuries unknown to her. Pretty Woman is a fairytale dream-come-to-life for Vifian. For Edward it is an awakening to the innocence and vulnerability in vivian. Vivian sees Edward for himself: generous, kind, sensitive.

Their whirl-wind week turns into the romance of the century. Emotions run high as their passion and love build, with many twists and turns. Edward's attempts to build Julia's confidence in herself as a woman have you laughing and loving right along with him. Oh, Edward's secret little half smile!

I give Pretty Woman five stars. The movie is excellent. It makes you believe that fairytales can come true, that they really can happen to you. Pretty Woman will bring tears to your eyes, but will keep you laughing throughout.
