Pretty Woman (DVD)

This is one of those films that girls love to watch and a lot of blokes also enjoy but are afraid to admit it. Set in Hollywood Los Angeles it is a comic love story about a mega rich business tycoon played by Richard Gere who meets a street walker who is played by Julia Roberts. It is one of those films where you have to suspend your sense of reality but it is an enjoyable romp with some funny moments in it and both stars turn in competent roles. In the film Gere is in town to commplete the takeover of another company who specialise in ship building, his sole reason in life is to make money and he does this by taking over large companies and then ...  Read the complete review

You know it is hard to think this film is 18 years old. Pretty woman is old pretty woman by now. The plot of the film: desperate prostitute is hired by a wealthy man. He spends hours with her. Slowly falling in love with her charm and body and that wicked smile. Imagine a prostitute making a rich man happy. Ask Sir Paul? This is a fairy tale film. It is a romantic film. It is a very happy film. Why happy because Julia Roberts laughs a lot in here. You know the best bit about this film is sexual chemistry between Gere and Roberts. They would make one happy and sexy couple. In the film it looks as they are made for each other. ...  Read the complete review

This is one of those romantic comedies that has a couple of big Hollywood name stars that seems to promise a lot but falls flat because of the lack of a connection between the two big names. I must admt I was not impressed by either Julia Roberts or Richard Gere performance in this over rated film and I fel is was a rather flat effort. Roberts plays a Hollywood hooker who his hired by a businessman played by Gere to escort him for a week while he sorts out a business deal. Despite it supposedly beng a business arrangement the two soom start to have feelings for each other although neither will admit it. A lot of the humour in this film comes from ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes, my partner and I get a hankering to watch an old film when we're sitting down together in the evening. We had a little browse through our ever-growing DVD collection and then decided to watch the newest addition to it, which just happened to be Pretty Woman. I hadn't seen it for a few years and fancied something a bit soppy and sweet, so we settled down for a few hours of brilliant entertainment. Pretty Woman tells us the story of a prostitute, Vivian Ward, who is working on the streets in Hollywood. She happens to be stopped by billionaire Edward Lewis for directions, but ends up getting in his car and accompanying him to his hotel. Edward makes it ...  Read the complete review

What a classic film Pretty Woman is! Will never get old and is totally rewatchable over and over again. I think this will still be as popular in 10 years time as it is now - the sign of a good film! Julia Roberts is Vivien - a Los Angeles hooker (for want of a better word). She's not really been doing it for very long and to be honest isn't planning on making it her full time career - but it pays the bills for now. She meets handsome and smart businessman Edward (Richard Gere) and before long he is paying her to spend the week with him. He buys her luxurious clothes, takes her to expensive places and spoils her rotten and sure enough by the time the week's out ...  Read the complete review
