Yes, this movie may have some flawed characteristics and moral standings, but what can I say, I just love it! I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face whenever I watch this gem. It's highly unrealistic but the irresistible charm of it is so hard to deny. The acting is amazing and the chemistry, off the charts. Pretty Woman holds a special place in my heart and it always will; it's everything and more. Don't read too much into the movie, just enjoy it for what it is!

"No matter what they say, it's all about money." That's the take home lesson from the movie. Romance? Epiphany? Falling in love? No, money. 1990, the beginning of the "Greed is Good" era. Reading the user reviews is really depressing. We're that far gone that people can see this as a Cinderella story. Having to work as a prostitute? Being paid to pretend to date someone? That's a love story? It is if you're a banal materialist. She got lotsa bling and things in the end. Happily ever after. What more is there to life anyway.Nauseating. Thoroughly nauseating. The movie and the glowing reviews by the soulless lucre mongers stumbling through life.

Seriously, people are gonna tell you it never happens in real life but I think the script has more meaning to it. It portrays that every prostitute don't dream to be a prostitute but life and circumstances might force them to do so. Julia Roberts does an amazing job in bringing Vivian's character to life, both as a prostitute and a "conservative" pretty woman. It's like in Titanic where Leonardo goes to Dinner with the highballers but does so smoothly that no one notices he doesn't belong there. Richard Gere was great in his role, but being a billionaire, what are the chances that he would take home a prostitute from the street and listens to her advice on multi-billion business deals? Quite unlikely, but his acting, the soft tone, zero emotional reactions, harsh while being romantic at times made it so much real. Although this is the "Cinderella" kind of movie, you won't regret watching it! It's a feel good, really good movie!!

Disgusting, pathetic, nonsense, about disillusioned people. Seriously the worst movie ever. This movie have made serious damage to people in the western world. It have made disturbed young women think it is OK to sell their bodies. It has made men think women who sell their bodies are normal people who just want money! It has made some people think it is more personal to kiss someone than suck to their penis !?! This movie is seriously morally messed up.
