"Great Romantic Comedy!"

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2014)

Richerd Gere, Julia Roberts, Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo star in Garry Marshall's 1990 romantic comedy. This takes place in L.A. where we meet wealthy, shrewd businessman, Edward (Gere). Soon, he meets prostitute, Vivian (Roberts) and decides to hire her to be his date for the week for social occasions. They not only fall for each other in the process, but bring out the best in one another. Alexander (Seinfeld) plays Edward's conniving lawyer, Philip, Giacomo (Just Shoot Me!) plays Vivian's friend & roommate, Kit and Elizondo (Overboard) plays Barney, a hotel manager who befriends and helps Vivian. This is a great romantic comedy with a good cast, Gere & Roberts have great chemistry and reunite 9 years later in "Runaway Bride" which is also directed by Marshall. I recommend this.
