I have no idea why some rate it so low. Sad childhood?

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2008)

Most people who voted less than 5 criticize this movie for lack of realism, sexism and too much Hollywood-ness. Some even chant that it may corrupt young girls or something. Blah. If you have more brains than a young girl, you'd understand that this >>IS<< a glossy blonde fairytale. For adult children.
Don't be jealous. Just accept the fact that you are a pessimist and you were a sad sad child.
One of the main ideas that runs through this film is: "Never stop dreaming". And why not? If the world is so filthy and not-Hollywood, should we sit and sulk in despair? Nonsense. Pretty Woman is a soothing fairytale for all who are blessed with the ability to dream and be positive. Just remember how you were a little kid and all the tales you read and how you went to bed and couldn't sleep, imagining.
