|  |  | | This 15th Anniversary celebration of PRETTY WOMAN is even more irresistible than ever with all-new, never-before-seen special features you'll love at first sight. Academy Award(R) Winner Julia Roberts (Best Actress, ERIN BROCKOVICH, 2000) is a spirited, streetwise diamond in the rough when she meets a no-nonsense billionaire played by Golden Globe winner Richard Gere (Best Actor In A Motion Picture -- Musical Or Comedy, CHICAGO, 2002). It's a chance encounter that turns a weeklong business arrangement into a timeless rags-to-riches romance. This Special Edition will seduce you with all the comedy, charm, and passion you remember about this classic -- plus more! | | | | 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 | |

| | Pretty Woman is my favorite movie and I thought I almost knew it by heart. What a surprise when there were two additional scenes in this video that I had never seen. They really helped explain the romance of Vivian and Edward and progressed the movie. The additional "stuff" was just that, but the movie did not fail to please.
| | | I have to live vicariously through tall, slim, pretty women like Julia. This movie always makes me smile.
| | | "Pretty Woman" made Julia Roberts a star. In the film she plays a high-class Beverly Hills prostitute who is hired by a rich businessman (played by Richard Gere) to accompany him on various events through several days. The film went on to be a huge financial success raking in nearly $400,000,000 at the boxoffice and became one of 1990's top films. Gary Marshall directed the movie and "Pretty Woman" has gone on to be one of the most famous romantic/comedies in Hollywood history. Roberts received a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination for her role as the call-girl and quickly went into the running as one of Tinsletown's formost up and coming actresses.
Filmed entirely in Los Angeles, "Pretty Woman" spawned the sequel "Runaway Bride" that reunited her with both Gere and Marshall.
This new edition features a slew of bonuses including the original "Pretty Woman" featurette, audio commentary by Gary Marshall, music video by Natalie Cole, blooper reel, wrap party clips, and more.
| | One of My All Time Favorites | |
| | This movie is one I loved so much, I had to add it to my collection so I could watch it more than once. DVD was in great shape, too.
| | There's no way in hell that this movie is getting near my house. | |
| | As one of the masses who just loved looking at Julia Roberts' pretty in this film, I always knew the story was toxic and not at all sane. Unfortunately, most of her movies are unhealthy and her characters make bad choices but she sells it. So she has a really good movie due her.
