Summary: best robert's movie ever
Review: This was the best of the best. I love julia roberts in almost everything she has made but by far this has been her best movie yet. Like afairy tale come true. I think we would all like to think life could turn out this way for us. Great movie go Julia.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty Woman: A Cinderella Story
Review: Hooker Vivian (JULIA ROBERTS) is picked up by wealthy but lonly businessman Edward (RICHARD GERE). After one night of Vivian's company, Edward discovers a need for a date for a business meeting and hires her for a week at a pay of $3000. This has all the elements of classic fairy tales. A good guy (and girl) to root for, a villian to hate (Edward's money-hungry lawyer), and fate in the middle. Julia Robert's performance was a rather good one because she got INTO THE MOOD of a Cinderella doubting Prince Charming. The movie was also nice because it revolved around, so to speak, Roy Orbison's song, and that the song was kind of an element there at all times just for thinking about. There were some--er--crude scenes and points, explaining the R rating. Adaults who love fairy tales will favorite this, because it's a way to dive back to childhood and still seem grown up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DVD Features not worth the Extra Bucks
Review: The alledged extra 15 minutes of footage is not any deleted scenes, just merely a camera filming the filming of one scene. There is not any sound, just the Pretty Woman theme playing in the background. I was disappointed by this DVD. I expected so much more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Greatest Movies EVER!
Review: Okay, can anyone say that they do NOT like "Pretty Woman"? I mean, this is "Pretty Woman" guys... This is definitly NOT a one star movie here.

I think everyone knows what happens, but I should explain it anyway for those who have been living under a rock for the past twenty years. Vivan (Julia Roberts) meets Edward (Richard Gere). She's a street hooker, he's a multi-millionaire. He picks her up for a one-night stand. When he finds that he needs a date for a few social events, he asks her to stay for a week or so for a certain amount of money (Something like 3 thousand or 3 million dollars... I forgot). They end up falling in love. But like every love story ever made, they hit a speed-bump or two which causes her to become mad at him and leave, ultimately causing him to create some extrordany Prince Charming-like plan to win her back. ::Love-stricken sigh:: Ah, love!

Well, see this movie. It's a definite must-see!

Review: I never really looked at this movie until I got it on DVD for my girlfriend. Nice story and good acting. The added background info about the production of the movie is cool.

Summary: Every Girl's Fantasy
Review: This movie may be practically the same plot that is seen in most love stories, but it has a certain charisma about it that makes it the epitome of all romantic comedies. The ending is what every girl dreams of finding. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere give a stellar performance in this movie which makes it on of my absolute favorites and the movie that all other romance movies are patterned after.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: First 'Pretty Woman' purchase? BUY IT! - For extras? DON'T!
Review: I love 'Pretty Woman'. I love the 'regular' DVD. The '10th Anniversary Special' is not that special.

The movie Pretty Woman was previously released on DVD with the only extra being the Director's Commentary. To release this as a '10th Anniversary Special' and provide poor extras earned it one star. If this was the only release of 'Pretty Woman' on DVD I would rate it three stars. (The DVD can offer so much from a film. It takes alot of extra effort to earn each star.)

"15 minutes of extra footage" refers to the original theatrical release and not the previously released DVD. Both DVDs are 'Director's cuts'

"Behind the Scenes" footage last less than three minutes. The exact length of the 'Pretty Woman' song played in the background. For about thirty seconds they show a crane moving. For another twenty seconds you see Richard Gere's back as they move the crane. Richard and Julia interacting "off camera", with no audio of them talking to each other. Gary Marshall looking through a camera lens. And footage, exactly like the scenes at the Polo match, taken at a distance. The footage looked like a tourist was shooting digital quality home video. This is not what I would consider true 'Behind the Scenes' footage.

"Theatrical Trailer" - Pan and Scan. Not digital quality. Looks and sounds like it was transfered from a video cassette.

"Production Featurette" - Less than four minutes. Almost like a movie trailer with some comments by Gary Marshall through out. These are just like the Director's Commentary he provides on this and the the 'regular' DVD. Julia and Richard each say three sentences for ten and seven seconds; respectively. These are by no means "interviews"!

"Wild Women Do" music video- Fantastic!

If this is your first 'Pretty Woman' purchase? BUY IT! - If your buying it for the extras only? DON'T!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Always fun to watch.....
Review: I just recently purchased the 10th Anniversary edition of Pretty Woman. Of course, I watched it the first night I had it home. Once again I was impressed by the charisma of Roberts and Gere. They are splendid together. Julia Roberts: a funny, vibrant actress. Her laugh is almost contageous. The scene when Gere snaps the top of the necklace holder on her hand is great. Gere: Smug, but likeable. They simply work well together. Other movies I would reccomend are, "It Could Happen to You." This is also very predictable, but a good movie. Also, "The Story of Us" is another good movie. Check them both out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: special movie--special features
Review: Besides being one of my favorite movies ever, the real treat here is Garry Marshall's running comments. I know, I know. You've listened to director's comments before and been bored to tears. Not this time. I don't know whether it was what he said, or just his convivial tone, but I watched the movie twice in one night, the second time to hear his remarks.
