Movie Reviews of Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition)

Movie Review: It's morning again in the secret garden
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie epitomizes the perfect female fantasy: act like a total hosebeast and then get swept away by a handsome young rich guy who doesn't care you've been a total hosebeast. Remember ladies, $300 million buys a lot of mouthwash. And with all that newfound money, you can even get your "secret garden" surgically returned to the days before you became a hosebeast. Maybe you'll even get to wear white on your wedding day. And once you get married, I'm sure your new husband will never feel funny about kissing you on the mouth. I'm sure when you refuse to do that "new" thing he'd like to try, he'll never wonder to himself whether you'd be more agreeable if he slipped you a Ben Franklin. I'm sure if you ever did get in an argument, he'd never bring up your past life. In the words of Steve Perry, "Don't stop belieeeeevin'!"

Summary of Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition)

This 15th Anniversary celebration of PRETTY WOMAN is even more irresistible than ever with all-new, never-before-seen special features you'll love at first sight. Academy Award(R) Winner Julia Roberts (Best Actress, ERIN BROCKOVICH, 2000) is a spirited, streetwise diamond in the rough when she meets a no-nonsense billionaire played by Golden Globe winner Richard Gere (Best Actor In A Motion Picture -- Musical Or Comedy, CHICAGO, 2002). It's a chance encounter that turns a weeklong business arrangement into a timeless rags-to-riches romance. This Special Edition will seduce you with all the comedy, charm, and passion you remember about this classic -- plus more!

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; the charm of her personality helping tremendously to carry viewers over the rough spots in the script (which was originally 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 Wilshire 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. Now, is this something you want your sons and daughters to see? That's entirely up to you. --Jim Emerson
