Prostitution RomCom

Private Widdle from Royston Vasey, 11th February, 2007

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.

Still a good film after not seeing it for so many years, some people will still class this as a "chic flic", but don't think that, its funny, sad and romantic. If you have never seen this, well, it's worth a rent, for a quiet Saturday night, with your partnet, only downfall, there was a mark on the disc, so jumped halfway through, but otherwise a very good film.

This is the fairytale.....

Chuckie, 20+ office working footie fan from Poole, 20th August, 2004

This is a truely great film and rates as one of my all-time favourite movie.

The characters and acting is great. The story and script is engaging. The music is excellent, and the whole package just picks you up and lifts you to a higher place.

This is one of those movies which gives you that 'feel-good' factor during the film, and especially at the end.

I may take a ribbing from my mates about this, but I dont care !

Don't get me wrong. I'm not for one second suggesting that Pretty Woman is anything but trash. The concept and central theme is hugely offensive and potentially damaging - the mere idea that a prostitute can find happiness with a rich guy is preposterous. If this was a serious drama then I would take greater issue with this. For many, that Pretty Woman is in fact, a comedy of all things, makes matters worse. All I can say is that I'm intelligent enough to realise that as a serious film it's a disaster. It's incredibly unrealistic. But I love it so, no matter what. Nostalgia is a funny thing, since so often what I remember as being fantastic becomes diluted or filled with faults when I return to it years later. But I've watched this film time and again, and still get the same buzz from it. Julia Roberts shows her early flair for comedy - the dinner scene in particular to this day has me in fits of laughter, as she counts prongs on forks and sends a snail sky-rocketing through the air. Richard Gere I can take or leave, but he's ok here, leaving the majority of his ego behind (and for once doesn't insist on doing full frontal nudity as he seems to have done with other early work). The gay stereotyped personality hidden in me loves the clothes too, relishing at the scene where Vivian gets the better of the snooty nosed Beverley Hills boutique owners, and the fashion parade set to Roy Orbison's title theme. Speaking of which, the soundtrack is filled with cheese; Go West, Roxette, Robert Palmer et al, and though ordinarily I despise cheese, here it's part of the film's blueprint and works wonderfully. I pretty much know the script off by heart, which I'm sure fills many of my friends with dread. Of course the structure, and especially, ending are predictable from the start, but I still love the journey. A guilty pleasure for sure, and directed by a hack, but, damn it, I'm not ashamed to admit that I love it.

good as a whole

A Customer from dundee, 18th July, 2009

the fact that many reviws are sayining that this film shows that prostitution will get you anything is a load of rubbish. the film for me shows that no matter how bad things are, you just have to keep going and an opportunity will present itself. ok its not the best film to express this but you get the picture. acting was as good as it always is from these two. was a bit dissapointed with the ending. expected there to be a bit more of a chase but still good none the less. would recomend.
