Rusalka's eleventh film review: I want the fairy tale

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2003)

This is one of the best romantic films of all time (in my opinion). Julia Roberts gave an Academy Award-nominated performance (she lost to Kathy Bates in Misery) as carefree prostitute Vivian Ward to Richard Gere's iconic portrayal of business executive Edward Lewis.
Everything about this film, from the smallest detail, is just priceless. The script has more memorable one-liners and classic moments than the entire nine season run of the Golden Girls. For instance, can anyone that's seen this film ever forget Vivian's shopping excursion (with Edward in tow), the day at the Beverly Hills Polo Grounds or especially the night at the opera?

This is a true classic of a film for anyone who's a hopeless romantic.
My rating: 4 stars
