Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Like a pumpkin that transforms into a carriage, some very shrewd casting (and the charisma of Julia Roberts, in particular) morphed this story of a Hollywood whore into a Disneyfied Cinderella story--and a mainstream megahit. This is the movie that made Roberts a star, her charms helping tremendously to carry viewers over the rough spots in the script (which was originally to be a cynical tale about prostitution called 3000--after the amount of money Richard Gere's character pays the prostitute to stay with him for the week). Gere is the silver-haired Wall Street knight who sweeps streetwalker Roberts into a fantasy world of room service at the Regent Beverly Wiltshire Hotel and fashion boutique shopping on Rodeo Drive. The supporting cast is also appealing, including Laura San Giacomo as Roberts's hooker pal, Hector Elizondo as the hotel manager, Jason Alexander, Ralph Bellamy and Hank Azaria. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com

On the DVD: With a beautiful bubble effect offering a touch of fantasy to the special features menu, the viewer might expect a disc packed with lavish offerings. Unfortunately the extras are a little more spartan than the menu would have us believe, consisting of a theatrical trailer and a cringe-worthy pop video of "Wild Women Do", complete with a bouncing camera and "arty" black-and-white shots. The worst of these features comes in the form of the "production trailer", a useless addition which attempts to briefly summarise the film's underlying themes with inter-cut comments from the actors and directors on the original trailer (already featured in its pure form on the disc) and which offers little additional information of any merit. The disc does, however, come into its own when Gary Marshall takes the helm for the director's commentary: he has an entertaining and amusing narrative style, which is upbeat and direct like his film, and his comments really bring to life the fairy-tale narrative. Add to this a widescreen 1.85:1 presentation, which will make you feel as if Richard Gere has just swept you off your feet. --Nikki Disney

Synopsis
A handsome businessman hires a hooker to pose as his girlfriend for a week... and falls in love. She on the other hand, wonders whether a straight life with him would be the answer to her dreams...

5.0 out of 5 stars It is absolutely BRILLIANT, 15 April 2001
By A Customer
Pretty woman is a brilliant film that has never grown old. It will always be one of the classics along with films like Dirty Dancing and i hope my kids will feel the same way when they are old enough to watch it!The makers should be proud of there creation!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'You're late' - 'You're beautiful'!, 8 Feb 2004
This review is from: Pretty Woman [DVD] [1990] (DVD)
Pretty Woman is a classic romantic comedy about Vivian a prostitute who is picked up by Edward (Richard Gere) a single business man (in a freinds Lotus, there's a tip for H. Grant) who interestingly is an asset stripper himself so in fact has alot in common with Vivian (think about it). The fairy tale is complete as gradually they fall for each other, its also a great thing to remember that 'Pretty Woman 2' was never made, the world left to ponder! Each scene is classy and the characters are convincing, so much so that despite the content it's a family film! I also recommend the fantastic soundtrack. For a true hardened Pretty Woman fan if you want to see the dress Vivian wore on the streets check out Planet Hollywood in New York.. **Get out there and get a copy**

4.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant love story, 12 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pretty Woman [DVD] [1990] (DVD)
i wasn't expecting this film to affect me so much, but it was excellent. i'm a man, and men arn't usually supposed to like romantic films, but this just took my breath away. to my brothers annoyance, i've watched this film many a time, and it just gets better and better.
