Summary: Not As Great As People Say
Review: I saw this movie on Tv because I'm only 13 and at the time I was 12 and my mom didnt want me to see all of it. Now my WHOLE ENTIRE family is obsessed with this movie and whenever all the women get together we always end up watching it. It was good, but very predictable.....not that that makes it bad, but I thought it was going to be this brilliant work of art. But it wasnt. It was good and most people will like it, but its not that great.

Summary: Pretty Woman
Review: The classical drama "Pretty Woman", directed by Garry Marshall and with actor Richard Gere (Edward Lewis) and actress Julia Roberts (Vivian Ward) was really hilarious. Julia Roberts won Best Actress in 1990 at the Academy Awards and Best Actress in 1991 at the Golden Globe for her performance in this move. I can see why! Julia Roberts with her beautiful smile was a wonderful actor in her role as a prostitute and then portraying a woman who is of class and wealth. She really gave herself away when she walked in those high heels though and her talk. Edward Lewis is rich businessman who recently broke up with his girlfriend. Edward is in Los Angeles on business and he gets lost on his way to Beverly Hills Hotel. He gets acquainted with Vivian (Julia Roberts) when he stops to ask for directions on Hollywood Boulevard. Vivian is prostitute and she thinks he is looking for some action. She gets in the car to show Edward to Beverly Hills Hotel. After she spends the night in his room, he asks her to stay the week and how much it will cost him for her to stay. Edward needs Vivian to escort to the rich parties so he gives he money to purchase clothes to wear. This is a once in lifetime opportunity for Vivian as her and Edward is from two different worlds. Edward begins to see that Vivian is more than just a prostitute, that she is beautiful, fun to be around and that she makes him feel like a better person. However, Vivian has to deal with Phil (Jason Alexander) a co-worker of Edward's who keeps reminding her of her past and that this relationship will never work. Vivian is given a chance to start her life all over again and not have to live on the streets to make ends meet. I love movies with Richard Gere he is so handsome. And Julia Roberts is just beautiful I cannot think of any other person who could have played pretty woman in this movie. I give this movie 4 star for romance and comedy mixed together. It kept me laughing and yet the romantic part is every woman's dream. I just hope young women do not look at this movie and think that being a prostitute is okay way of life and that this could happen to them.

Summary: Your luck can change at anytime
Review: Pretty Woman(1990) has a run time of 125 minutes, released by Touchstone and directed by Garry Marshall. The cast included Richard Gere(Edward Lewis)and Julia Roberts (Vivian "Viv" Ward).
Pretty Woman was nominated for the Gloden Globe in 1991 for best film.
Pretty Woman takes place in Los Angeles. As the movie opens buiness man Edward Lewis in on the phone talking to his girlfriend. The conversation does not go the way Edward would have liked, but in the meantime his business associates are awaiting his arrival downstairs. Edward decides not to join them instead gets into his attorney's car and leaves.
Since Edward is in Los Angeles on business he does not know his way around town. As he is driving around trying to find his hotel, he ends up on Hollywood Blvd. While trying to get the car into gear, a prostitute Vivian Ward approaches the car. As the conversation continues Edward ask Vivian for directions back to his hotel and offers her $5.00. Once Edward reaches his destination,Edward pays for the directions and ends up inviting Vivian to come up to his room. This evening started out as a one night arrangement ends up with Edward making Vivian a deal of her lifetime.(Which lasted the entire week) Since this Edwards considers this a business deal, he gives Vivian money to shop for a new wardrobe that fits into his lifestyle. The business deal between Edward and Vivian quickly changes into something more. When the week is about over neither one are able to acknowledge to the other that they have fallen in love. When the time comes for them to part company, Edward nor Vivian are willing to say what is truly in their hearts. But in the end, Edward and Vivian both get what they want.(Each other)
In rating this romantic comdey, I rated it a 5 star movie. The fairy tale story line makes this a movie that everyone should see and you have not seen it make sure you add it to your movie list.

Summary: I think it's all there
Review: Got the 10th Anniversary Edition DVD for Pretty Woman. At the beginning, the message looks spooky: "This film has been modified from its original version and edited for content." At first glance, that looks like Full Screen (Oh No!) and censored (ditto). But the wide screen is still there. And director Marshall explains how each specific scene left out of the theatrical version was put back in for the laser disk and the DVD. So now I feel better and think that it was really worth my money to buy this DVD and spend the time watching the film again twice (including one for the director's commentary). Other reviewers have expounded on what a great film it is. Without repeating what has already been said, I give my overall feeling: comic, well-paced, uplifting. Shows that there is hope regardless of current status in life. Glad they didn't include that choice of an ending where he leaves her and Kit dies of OD. Definitely one of my top 40 films of all time.

Summary: Gere and Roberts shine well together
Review: Pretty Woman (1990) Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Ralph Bellamy, Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo, Hector Elizondo, Alex-Hyde White, Amy Yasbeck, Larry Miller, D: Garry Marshall. By surprise, this romantic-comedy working from an outdated love formula comes out successful: a suave, solitary businessman and eligible bachelor (Gere) staying in Beverly Hills picks up a Hollywood Boulevard hooker (Roberts) and asks her to accompany him for a week, where he spruces her into a pretty woman and pays her $3,000-what she doesn't expect is to have feelings for him by the end of her stay. Utterly entertaining, charming, and heartfelt Cinderella story (without being sleazy apropos prostitution), and still popular after its release, with a delightful Roberts in a role that built her as a star.

Summary: Pretty Woman
Review: Pretty Woman, directed by Garry Marshall, is a modern day Cinderella story starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Julia Roberts won Best Actress in 1990 at the Academy Awards and Best Actress in 1991 at the Golden Globe for her performance in this movie. Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) is a rich businessman who recently broke up with his girlfriend. He travels to Los Angles for a business trip and gets lost on his way to the Beverly Hills Hotel. While asking for directions he makes the acquaintance of free-spirited hooker Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) who makes her living as a prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard. After she stays the night at his suite he offers her money if she'll stay with him for the entire week. He needs an "escort" for his rich and famous parties. Of course, this is to be a platonic relationship. She takes him up on his generous offer of money, clothes, jewelry and a make-over. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for her. Edward soon learns that Vivian is more than a girl from the sidewalk. Vivian is attracted to Edward but knows they are from two different worlds and it could never work. Edward's ruthless co-worker Phil (Jason Alexander) makes sure Vivian realizes she has no future with Edward. Edward begins to see that he is a better person when he is around Vivian. Vivian gets a chance to start her life over again. I give Pretty Women four stars. It is a romantic comedy. This is a modern-day fairy tale, a true Cinderella story. Although, I hope this movie doesn't give young girls the idea that prostitution is a glamorous way to make a living.

Summary: Lots of fun
Review: I have always liked the Cinderella story of Pretty Woman. What is fun about the DVD, though, is to listen to Gary Marshall's comments. You will find out lots of information about the making of, who's in it, bloopers, etc. If you like the movie, you will really enjoy the DVD.

Summary: THIS WOMAN NOT SO PRETTY ON DVD
Review: By now if you know nothing about movies, you at least know that "Pretty Woman" is the film that made Julia Roberts a super star. She plays Vivien, a Hollywood hooker who lands it in the big leagues when financier, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere)pays her to be seen with him for one week. Of course, they fall in love. The Cinderella story proved irresistable to audiences in the 90's, making the movie a sleeper hit that continues to be regarded as great cinema even though, at best, its diversionary fluff with a kick.
Unfortunately, there's nothing pretty about this tired transfer. Colors, although occasionally well balanced, often exhibit a pinkish characteristic and at times are way too brightly realized. Contrast levels are generally lower than one would expect. Chips and scratches in the original negative are present and noticable throughout. Edge enhancement is detected and bothersome. Pixelization occasionally makes an unwelcomed inclusion into the bargain basement transfer quality. The 1:85:1 widescreen picture is not even anamorphically enhanced - WHY?!? After previously issuing this movie on a director's cut DVD, with the same deplorable image quality, we get a 10th anniversary edition reissue that adds nothing new, save a mini-featurette and theatrical trailer to the mix. The audio, 5.1 remastered, sounds adequate enough though it is dated.
BOTTOM LINE: We need another version of this movie. Given that Disney Inc. is suddenly into doing Vista Series reissues of its catalogue titles I suspect that this perennial fav' is high on their "to-do" list of pending DVD remasters.
