Painfully bad script

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2007)

I love this movie, so I've seen it a hundred times and thus I know the lines before they're served. But unlike other films that I know by heart, A Room With a View or Dances with Wolves, for instance, the lines from Pretty Woman are embarrassingly bad. I just looked up its writer, who created several titles I've never heard of. Pretty Woman is a testament to Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's on screen chemistry, as well as to Rodeo Drive fashion. "Cop a squat?" Gimme a break.
I will say that her unsuccessful shopping foray on Rodeo Drive was an absolute pleasure, especially when she is finally being "sucked up" to.
Nice sight gags, too, like the father and son in the Rolls Royce both talking on cell phones. A child with a cell phone? Preposterous!
