Nice story about love

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2005)

Pretty Woman... Pretty Julia Roberts. Charming Richard Gere. Does romantic comedy need anything else? Nah.
So, how does it happen, the match between prostitute and a business man? Well in this movie, Edward Lewis (Gere) is lost in LA, so he pick ups Vivianne (Roberts) who promises to take him to his hotel. But then Lewis buys her for the night... which turns to week... which in the end turns forever. So nothing new in that department. Boy gets the girl.
Some people could question the morals of the story, as the main characters are cynical businessman and a lady of the night, but then again I recall there is a opera with same kind of story, so it's not a new idea. And it's not like the movie is really promoting for prostitution.
"Pretty Woman" is comedy mixed with drama, but it doesn't bare a deep, meaningful message. It's just a love story, naive, pretty love story. Like all of them.
And it's very easy to like it.
