PRETTY WOMAN 15TH ANNIVERSARY (SPEC EDI)(DVD/WS 1.85/DD 5.1/FR-BOTH/SP-SUB) DVD

Pretty Woman
Self-involved corporate raider Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) has recently split up with his girlfriend. Seeking directions to the Beverly Hills Hotel, he makes the acquaintance of free-spirited hooker Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and decides to put her on a 3,000-dollar retainer as his "date." He Cinderellarizes her by bankrolling a full wardrobe and cosmetic makeover. Of course, the setup will be strictly platonic. A disarming modern-day fairy tale, Pretty Woman was the picture that made Julia Roberts a superstar. As charming as she is in her "giggling" sequences, Roberts' best scene is her triumphant return to a posh Rodeo Drive shop where she'd been previously snubbed. Keeping Pretty Woman afloat throughout is the buoyant direction of Garry Marshall and the always welcome presence of Marshall's stock company of actors, including Hector Elizondo as a stuffy but golden-hearted concierge. Pretty Woman began its life as a much darker story of prostitutes and homicidal drug dealers, but more box-office-savvy heads ultimately prevailed. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman was one of the most unexpected blockbusters of the early '90s. The film's leading man, Richard Gere, hadn't had a hit since 1983's An Officer and a Gentleman, and the young Julia Roberts had yet to attempt a leading role. The film was originally written as a gritty drama, which the studio and director Garry Marshall tempered into a charming if unlikely fairy tale, buoyed by the two leads' undeniable chemistry. The rest is box-office history: the picture eventually pulled in over 450 million dollars worldwide and became a cultural reference point. Some viewers criticized the film for its trivial depiction of prostitution, but Roberts' charming performance is in keeping with the film's light, omantic fantasy tone. She also received a Best Actress nomination later that year. ~ Brendon Hanley, All Movie Guide
