Critics Consensus

Pretty Woman may be a yuppie fantasy, but the film's slick comedy, soundtrack, and casting can overcome misgivings.

This is a textbook example of how perfect casting can elevate a film beyond the limitations of its premise and plot.

The intelligence and wit of this glass-slipper heart-of-gold fantasy are shocking too, but hell hath no part of the surprise.

4.5/5

Pretty Woman endures not just as a romantic comedy, but as a snapshot of Hollywood at its glossy, larger-than-life best.

5/10

It's presented as a romantic comedy that boasts undeniable chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, but overall, I find it somewhat boring and superficial in its modern fairy tale. [Full review in Spanish]

Earns its classic status with its mature take on an unlikely fairy tale spawning from less-desirable origins.

Great movie and great soundtrack. Plus one of the best quotes, "$50 bucks grampa, and for $75 the wife can watch."

Feb 2, 2019

The best romcom movie ever made! With the best movie song ever sung: the title song! And the best movie quote ever spoken: "I want the fairy tale."

The acting is just amazing! I want to start off mentioning that Richard Gere and Julia Roberts were the ideal actors to interpret the movie, they brought the characters to life and even though the story itself has a pretty basic plot, their acting makes you stay until the end. Now I see why people say this movie launched Julia Robert`s acting career, she is both talented and beautiful. Although the story is the typical movie about a poor girl meeting a rich man, it has great lessons during the film and has you wishing something like that or similar would happen to you. I love atmosphere of the movie, from the low class neighborhoods to Rodeo Drive, the lighting and the takes make the film rise up to it`s full potential. Although I had low expectations for the film because I'm not used to watching rom-coms, this one has surprised me for the better, all I can say is that Garry Marshall and his cast did a great job.
