This is a lovely film. It gently touches on a prostitute (Julia) who happens on a meeting with a successful businessman (Richard) when he is out in a friends sports car and lost. He asks for directions and Julia gets her break. The theme has a fairy story background, with some good music, excellent support cast (The hotel manager is something to be believed!). It is highly entertaining with lots of clever laughs, one-upmanship, personal morality and interesting storyline. Buy this DVD... It rates as one of my top three ever!
A classic! March 13, 2007

If you've not seen Pretty Woman - where have you been?! I absolutely love this film! I watch it all the time - I often just put it on in the background because I know it off by heart anyway!
This is definitely a chick flick, but my goodness it's a fabulous one! Every woman who watches this wants to be Julia Roberts, just so that she can be swept off her feet by the marvelously rich, sophisticated, and romantic Richard Gere! Both actors play their roles superbly in this movie, and the soundtrack really sets it off too. If you've never seen this, or if you love this movie but don't own it yet - buy it! You won't regret it :-)
So "Chick Flik" yet my boyfriend liked it! July 10, 2006

The film is about a wealthy businessman, (Richard Gere), who inadvertently meets a prostitute, (Julia Roberts).
He hires her not just for the night but as a companion for an entire week!
Typically, it's fantastically 'Chik Flik' because of the love story between the lead couple, within the film. And yes, it obviously has a smushy romantic ending that makes every girl's heart melt :)
But I found that this film isn't your average light-hearted Rom-Com, purely because, when dealing with the subject of a prostitute, it would be hard to make it all sunshine and smiles...
I liked the fact that I found this film 'intelligent'. They look at some of the prejudices that Julia Roberts' young character would encounter.
(Please note this was also picked up on in my school and clips of the film were shown to us while we were studying prejudice and discrimination!)
As expected from such seasoned and successful actors, both lead characters are convincing and extremely likeable in their roles. Support actors are also well-played.
I have just one final comment and that is, my boyfriend is generally not a fan of the 'Chik Flik' genre- didn't like Dirty Dancing and Love Actually didn't rock his world- but he has commented on several occasions on how much he enjoyed watching this...
And that just says it all!!
Perfect! January 28, 2006

I LOVE this film!Hooker meets millionaire, they fall in love... Sounds like a cliché, but it's just amazing, and done very, very well! Chick flick, possibly, but a great film!
Neverland meets suburbia. September 1, 2007

Ever dreamt of being swept off your feet by some riduculously rich handsome man?
If you have, then this may just be the ideal film for you.
Pretty Womman captures the harshness of modern day life and flips it over into a world of fun, love, romance and laughter.
Meet Vivian, a young woman who has taken the wrong path in life, prostitution and scrambling around for the weeks rent.
Meet Edward, an unbearably handsomly rich man, own his own business yet is unhappy.
When the two meet the chemistry is clear, and the audience is plunged into a world of fantasy.
And the rest they say is history.....
I can only urge you to watch this film, some may hate it others will love it, but i certainly love it.
