Such a frustrating disappointment
Beautiful, moving film.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
The film, "Pretty Woman", carries a really important message. The film tries to explain that everything is possible around love. From being a multi millionaire (rich) to being a prostitute (poor), anyone can be with anybody because you're still a person who has feelings like every other human being on this planet.
I don't think Julia Roberts fits the star role, not exactly a Pretty Woman to look at. I can think of actresses who would fit the role much better.
Awesome romantic comedy. Great performances by Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and remaining cast. Excellent directing by Garry Marshall. If you get the chance, watch the director's cut on DVD...So good. Don't watch this movie from a political, religious, financial, or critical point of view. Sit down. Suspend your disbelief. Believe in love and magic and joy. Let yourself go. Smile. Laugh. Enjoy!
I really don't have anything to add that has not been said before by those who have disliked this movie. I just hated it and have no idea why it did so well at the box office I hated it when I first screened it back on first release - and for goodness sake why glamorize prostitution? In all the films I have screened over 50 years this would have to be close to the worst.
