Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
A wealthy businessman hires a prositute walking the streets of LA after his girlfriend leaves him. Seeking more of a no-strings companion than a sexual encounter, he decides to hire her for a week to accompany him as an escort for social occasions. He dis ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Empire (Joe Berry)
A modern-day treatment of Pygmalion and Cinderella rolled into one, it is graced by first-class performances from two easy-on-the-eye stars and a sharp, funny script. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Empire (Joe Berry)
Washington Post (Rita Kempley)
Roberts and Richard Gere costar in this bubbly scamper, which goes to the head like champagne -- the cheap, sweet kind that leaves you with a throbbing head. And yet this monstrously derivative romance is great giddy fun. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Washington Post (Rita Kempley)

In case you've forgotten, Roberts and Gere both look very good indeed... ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Kalamazoo Gazette (James Sanford)

Si existe una historia contemporánea que resucite el espíritu de La Cenicienta y Mi Bella Dama, ésta es definitivamente Pretty Woman. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Cinenganos (Luis Martinez)

Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
Despite the drawbacks of the plot, this is a real feel-good movie. On a scale of one to 10 it rates a seven. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
DVD Talk (Scott Weinberg)
Much as I feel I probably should, I find it hard to dislike Pretty Woman. As formulaic and push-button-y as it is, it still houses some truly enjoyable movie-star chemistry, just enough laughs to keep me happy, and a cuddly-sweet happy ending that fits ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at DVD Talk (Scott Weinberg)

Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) is a suave, extremely wealthy business mogul who, at the start of the picture, breaks up with his girlfriend over the phone after a nasty argument, and abruptly takes his friend's car and gets lost on Hollywood Boulevard ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Dustin Putman
DVD Clinic ("Quigles")
A rich businessman hires a prostitute to keep him company for a week. As fate would have it, their relationship develops past a hand job or two, and blossoms into lovey dovey hoo-hah. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at DVD Clinic ("Quigles")

But he needs to clean Vivian up. Buying her dresses and having her learn table manners to attend various dinners so she can appear as his date soon becomes his prime concern.

There are some cute scenes where they enter the hotel, accompanied by the expected dropped jaws, tongues on floor etc. etc. After reaching Edwards' room, Edward is a little at a loss as to where to start the evening, but we find out that Edward is very ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Jaye Mathisen

DVD Verdict (Mike Jackson)
DVD MovieGuide
I'm not much of a chick-flick kind of guy, but I must admit that Woman always worked for me. Ironically, I only went to see it theatrically because I thought Julia Roberts was a babe. For some reason, her appearance in Woman completely turned me off on ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at DVD MovieGuide

Washington Post (Desson Thomson)
But it's Roberts's memorably comic performance that is the most distinguishing aspect of the movie. As the gawky professional companion, she's ticklishly appealing. ...read the complete Pretty Woman movie review at Washington Post (Desson Thomson)
