Pretty Woman

"Pretty Woman" is a splendid film which possesses a surprisingly hard and sobering edge beneath the frothy comedy veneer when it needs to and this is illustrated when Stuckey attempts to make good on the idea of calling upon Vivian's services and this almost results in her being raped. However, aside from the film being embroidered with such disturbing threads of darkness as these stemming from Vi...

Pretty average movie. The dialog is maybe a bit ahead of its' time, in terms of toxicity and progressivism, but that's a few lines. Feels really sappy and cardboard. The cast has great charisma, but they can't help playing cardboard in such a simple play. I'm not sure how exactly modern fairytales are made good, but most I've seen are better than this. 6/10

"Lewis" (Richard Gere) is a ruthless merger merchant who loves nothing better than a lucrative deal that will line his pockets regardless of the impact on anyone else.

Yet, with the experience of director Garry Marshall and these performances, the story feels...

"You and I are such similar creatures, Vivian. We both screw people for money." Richard Gere has always played a rich snob really well but I can't help shake the feeling that Julia Roberts was shockingly miscast in this role. She does well but the role just doesn't fit. Oh well, can't win them all.
