Review of Pretty Woman (1990) by Jake G — 10 Sep 2012
"Hard to hate it becuase it's a classic, Pretty Woman is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy, with a great perfromance of Julia Roberts".
It was the 90's. Richard Gere barely old, and Julia Roberts more beautiful than ever. So, it was the perfect moment to take this movie out in theatres. Pretty Woman is a fun romantic comedy, is not too long (2 Hours of charm) but also does not escape the "Have seen it" feeling from romantic comedies.
The movie starts clunky, hard to understand, slow, but then it takes its rails and goes max-speed. Julia Roberts shines in this movie not only as the funny one but as the prostitute, giving a mesmerazing performance. Richard Gere, well, he is ok, maybe too melodramatic but can be forgiven.
You shouldn't expect too much for pretty woman. A sassy plot that presents minor flaws but within the limits, it's a good old-fashioned comedy enjoyable to watch.
