Pretty Woman

The Cinderella story that made Julia Roberts a star. While driving back to his Beverly Hills hotel, millionaire corporate raider Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) takes a wrong turn and ends up on Hollywood Boulevard, where he meets prostitute Vivian Ward (Roberts). She steers him back to his hotel, charming him along the way, and he decides to hire her for the rest of the evening. In the morning, Edward realises that he could use an escort for the week, so he hands Vivian $3000 to stay--and sends her on a fantasy shopping spree. What begins as a purely business transaction develops into something more...they fall in love, but can a poor prostitute and a rich businessman really live happily ever after

  • 4 stars out of 5

    Originally meant to be a serious drama (called $3,000) about a man buying a prostitute for the night, this turned into a delightful romantic comedy in the hands of Garry Marshall and sent the career of star Julia Roberts into the stratosphere. Co-star Richard Gere didn't do too badly either — he'd been on a downward spiral before the role of tycoon Edward Lewis came along. On screen they make the “hooker falls for a millionaire in Beverly Hills” tale completely plausible, aided by Marshall's glossy direction, the hit-filled soundtrack, a perky screenplay from JF Lawton (who also scripted the thriller Under Siege) and hilarious support from Marshall stalwart Hector Elizondo.

    Shameless Hollywood concoction of romance and glossy fantasy that was an immense popular success in 1990, proving that there remains an insatiable demand for escapist fairy tales.

    Prostitution RomCom

    If you sell your body for money you will end up married to a suave millionaire. Fact. ( you won't end up chomping on smelly old men in public toilets so you can buy a bag of crack and have enough to stop your ponce beating you within an inch of your life and breaking your fingers)

    Well done Julia, you are the Elizabeth Fry of the modern era.

    Fantastic

    This is every man's dream woman. I've watched it twenty times and I could probably watch it twenty times more.

    Fantastic movie

    Roberts filming in world's wettest place

    • 25 Sep 2009

    Julia Roberts is getting soaked in one of the world's wettest places, so scenes in her new movie are shot in the rain. The Pretty Woman actress and the crew of Eat, Pray, Love are heading for Cherrapunji in north-east India after winding up a film shoot at a Pataudi ashram. Cherrapunji holds the record of annual rainfall - of about 905 inches. And that's not the only interesting thing about the place, as U.S. Indian statesman Rajan Zed tells WENN: "It is inhabited by Khasis who, unlike most of Read more
