Absolute pants, but....

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 1999)

This film has to go in my worst films list, it's awful.
Julia Roberts is (IMO) very average looking and has no sex appeal at all, but I suppose that's irrelevant as this film is directed purely at women.
The whole idea is basically the same as almost every cliche 'Hollywood Romance'. Get some hunky actor who falls for this woman, they have a bust up and then in the end after some soul searching the man sweeps her of her feet. (see Officer & a Gentleman, Dirty Dancing, etc).
Obviously the idea of this story has no basis in reality, which is a shame because it would have been a great movie if it dealt with a real relationship between a prostitute and a Billionaire.
But...and this is the but, it's only a movie (how can I say that) and really a pantomime story like cinderella. The shopping scene is, of course, every woman's dream.
Overall, for me and probably most men it's rubbish and a waste of film, but for a lot a women a very enjoyable fairytale.
