    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Richard Gere and Julia Roberts had obvious chemistry upon their first meeting. However, Gere was not planning on taking the role. He was on the phone ready to turn down the part when Roberts slid him a Post-it note with the words "please say yes" written on it. He accepted the role right then.
    • Goofs
      When Vivian finds Edward sleeping, she has a long white nightgown on when she comes in the room. She kisses him and they begin to make love. When Edward pulls her nightgown over her head, it is now a camisole. ---Actually the mid-length nightgown has spaghetti straps and she removes it herself, with him on top of her, making it hard to see what she removes but it looked like the same garment.
    • Quotes

      Vivian: I want the fairy tale.

    • Alternate versions
      The Director's Cut of "Pretty Woman" features additional dialogue during the first encounter of Edward and Vivian; additonal scenes featuring Carlos the pimp chasing after Vivian for the money Kit owes him; a longer restaurant sequence, and a longer montage of scenes when Edward takes the day off from work to spend more time with Vivian on their last day together.

    Julia Does Hollywood (And Richard Gere)
    The movie that made Julia Roberts a star and brought hope to hookers everywhere.

    Many condemned this movie as an irresponsible and inappropriate Cinderella fantasy, only proving how stupid they were to take a movie like this seriously enough to protest in the first place.

    Hell, if hookers actually looked like Julia Roberts, I might be tempted to dabble in the flesh trade myself. Unfortunatelty, most of them look more like Jason Alexander.

    Entertaining, harmless and mostly forgettable.

    Grade: B
