Absolutely brilliant

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Watched this movie again, for maybe the tenth time since it was first released in 1990, and it is still as fresh as ever. An angry business man who uses his money to destroy businesses, and the in the process hurt people, meets a street hooker, a real slut, and they fall in love. Alone, both are struggling to survive; together they form a bond that nothing can break. On the surface the story seems farfetched, even contrived. A rich guy hooking up with a slutty whore - no way. However, this why this movie is so great. The story is not only believable, but appealing. Despite the huge difference in their social statuses - Edward is loaded with money and spends it, while Vivian is struggling just to pay the rent - both characters have one thing in common - intelligence. In each one's respective circles, they are surrounded by people who are not only vile but stupid. The movie captures how Edward and Vivian immediately connect. It is the key scene in the movie and shapes the entire story. Botch that scene and the whole story collapses. The cast brings this story to life. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts deliver the best performances of their careers. Gere is somber and tense and Roberts is sassy yet a little menacing. Their chemistry is impossible to miss. They become the characters they are playing. The movie depicts the story in a straightforward manner. The movie shows how Edward and Vivian evolve, in the process bringing out aspects of themselves that were lying suppressed. Alone, they were fighting the world; together, the world is theirs. Tremendous story about the power of love.

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.

Another great example of a naturally funny comedy, thanks mostly to Julia Roberts' wonderful portrayal as the prostitute. Wonderful premise and wonderful acting. The chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts makes it work to credible perfection. This is one of my all-time favorite comedies.

I'd like to think Pretty Movie launched Jason Alexander's career, but at the very least it rebooted Richard Gere as a Hollywood megastar, and introduced us to Eric Robert's sister Julia. Anyway, Jason will forever be associated with Seinfeld, which came on the heels of Jason's star turn as the sycophantic corporate lawyer who tried to do awful things to Julia Robert's character.Anyway, it's time for a sequel, where Jason's character evolves into a high profile alt-right leader, bitter about events almost three decades earlier, playing a prominent role in the 2016 presidential election and beyond.
