One of Marshall's Best Rom-Coms

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2018)

Garry Marshall was truly a gifted director when it came to romantic comedy, and Pretty Woman was one of his best; starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Definitely a great starring vehicle for Gere, it's one of his more memorable films. And Julia, it was her breakout role.
Hector Elizondo costars, as he does in many of Marshall's films, and he is quite the character actor and added comic relief. Jason Alexander has a small part in the film as well, playing a friend of Richard Gere's character who turns out to be a jerk.
It's a great film with many sights set around Beverly Hills, California; including the famous Rodeo Drive. Other sights of high society are fancy French dinners and a match of polo.
If you enjoy this film, see the second pairing of Marshall, Gere and Roberts; Runaway Bride.
