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

 Original ReWreck July 15, 2008
I was so excited to be able to watch this movie on DVD as my VHS copy had bit the dust years ago. I had this movie memorized from start to finish. It is a 90's version of Cinderalla remade with the best and brightest stars. From rags to riches, Julia Roberts proves she is more than just a prostitute from Hollywood Boulevard who wins the heart of Richard Gere (a multi-millionare-billionaire-who owns his own prosperous company). With scene stealers from Julia's roommate Laura San Giacomo and the style of the Beverly Hills Hotel Manager Hector Elizondo you are sure to be taken in by this movie. However, don't be fooled with the glitz and glamour of this 15th anniversary edition. It never fails to produce the dark side of Hollywood in this 21st century that we live in where there isn't always a happy ending. I was thoroughly disappointed by the multiple additional scenes added to this movie that were not part of the original that, in my opinion, continued to try and remind the audience that Julia Roberts was still just a prostitute. It was a huge disappointment to me and added not value to the movie.
 When did prostitution become adorable? July 14, 2008

With all the "careers" they could have used for Julia Roberts in this film, why was prostitution the first choice?
She could have been the desk clerk, a cab driver, the cashier in a book store, a chef in the hotel kitchen, a nanny, a manicurist, the president of the damn bank across the street... anything, anything, anything but a hooker! What is romantic about VD, rape, jail time, pimps, etc?
What does this film say about relationships between men and women? I know this is a popular film, and that scares me even more. A big studio put big money into this, and it tells me all I need to know about their attitudes.

My mom loves this movie and had a purchased copy on VHS tape, so I replaced it with the "Pretty Woman 15th Anniversary Special Edition" DVD. I've heard no complaints from her, so I guess that this was a good purchase.
