Fun fact not Julia Roberts body on the cover
Or more appropriately for this film: share your thots!
@@jonboldrey5339Julia Rob-hurts!
I love the shopping part
You should watch Band Of Gold it was a tv show about Sex Workers it had 2 series it was a uk drama on the BBC 👍❤
All throughout the film the Hotel manager is trying unsuccessfully to get Richard Gere’s attention. Then at the end when he tells him that Daryll drove her home he knows exactly who he is. “Thank you Mr Thompson”
I noticed that as well. It’s the sign of a good script and solid character development when subtle nuances like that are built in.
Frenchman in his thirties here. Pretty Woman remains, to this day, one of the most delightful romcoms ever made. Everything about it works. It's one of those films that make you think, when you take a look at what's being made today... "yeah, things are not getting BETTER"... ^^; The duo is perfection. The girl is strong and never preachy, and the guy learns from her but doesn't turn into a beta male at the end. It's pretty conservative, which is fine by me. Roberts was at the peak of her beauty. Like you said, that damn hair, that volume, Jeez. Oh, and Laura san Giacomo deserved a better career.
💯
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentHere is a link to an interview Charlize Theron did with Conan. I cut it off before his reaction. Let's just say it was much different then his reaction to Dave Masters.
m.ruclips.net/video/wCTC8ELhzOU/видео.html
The whole movie is My Fair Lady. Even down to the name.
Hello, Laura San Giacomo is a terrific mom. She is one of the best Mothers that there is. I admire Laura.
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentif I was your age, I wouldn’t let a Frenchman in his 30’s get away!!! 💃🏼💃🏻
I remember the audible gasps from the press when Julia Roberts’ name was called out as a Best Actress nominee that year. It was a star-making performance and was fully deserved.
When he closes the gift box on her hand that was Gere ad-libbing, hence Roberts surprise is so real, and they kept it in...
I like touches like that!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentNext you need to watch Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. Trust me it has a connection 😁
@@McMahonHater Both Romy & Michelle are terrific.
This is one of a few movies that whenever i stumble across it channel surfing, I stop and watch the rest of it. It's part of my lexicon.
We see why!
2 pretty women watching pretty woman. I watched this in the early 90s. I love the film. My gf watched it the first time about 3 months ago. She loved it . 2 characters that prove you should never judge a book by the cover.
I was in junior high when this came out. I remember the adults having gone to the theater and talking about key scenes from it ("Close your mouth, dear," "Slippery little suckers."). It was an enormous film at the time and launched Roberts into superstardom. Also, something that may be lost on the current generation is the edginess of this at the time.
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks, ladies!
Thanks for watching!
During the meal, desert before the meal was likely sorbet, its a pallet cleanser before the main meal. It was common in top restaurants in the 80s and 90s well it was here in the UK. Classic film this, even as a newr 50 year old man, this is a classic and many women of my age will quote this film 😂
palate
This movie was perfectly cast from the hotel manager to the lawyer to Vivian to Edward to the friend to the bellhop
Perfectly. Including the fashion store manager.
Yes, yes😊😊😊😊😊😊
I never noticed it when I saw this movie as a kid, but the use of La Traviata for the opera was a good choice considering the plot of the film. No TB in Pretty Woman, though.
A re-imagining of Pygmalion this was a huge hit when it came out and made Julia Roberts an A-list star but is rarely ever reviewed on RUclips. Nice job girls. 😊
Thanks!
6:35 "Back to your office."
"😄Yeah. My office."
🤷♂I mean, that's as good a name for it as any.
Great reaction ladies. "Big Mistake" may be iconic but "Cinderf***ingrella" earns a spit take every time!
😂😂
as others have pointed out, if you want to understand why women used to swoon over Gere so much you need to go back and watch American Gigolo (1980), and An Officer & A Gentleman (1982). Both were big hits (Gentleman was a literal SMASH at the box office in '82). Gere was in his early 30's in these 2 movies, and they made him a superstar. By the time they filmed Pretty Woman Gere was already in his early 40's, though he was still very popular with women audiences in regards to movies.
Also of note, Julia Roberts was relatively unknown when she did this movie. She had done a couple of small films before this, but nothing big at all. Pretty Woman is what MADE her. And another interesting part of the story is that Richard Gere was on the fence about even doing the movie. The director was trying to convince him to do the movie and had him meet with Julia Roberts (again pretty much unknown at the time). Gere met her, and as they were getting to know each other the director (Gary Marshall) called to see how things were going etc, because if Gere would have said no they would have possibly had a hard time getting the movie financed. That's how Hollywood works, the big movie studios don't like to put movies in theaters without established names, and by this point (although his career had slowed down some from its zenith in the early/mid 80's) - Gere was still an established leading man in Hollywood with several hits under his belt. So Marshall (the director) calls Gere to see how things are going and to see if he likes this relative unknown actress Julia Roberts etc, and Roberts hands Gere a hand written note while he's on the phone.
The note simply said "please say yes". Gere did and the rest is history.
That wasn't dessert; it was sherbet - served between courses (in very fine dining) to cleanse the palate.
You have to see these three main characters in "Runaway Bride". In eighties fashion, "It's Awesome". You will love it. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
While Edward and Vivian lived in completely different worlds. When it came to business they were very much alike. They both found it served them well to operate with no emotional attachments.
I'm 52 years old. Watched this movie when it came out and have watched in numerous times since. There's only a handful of movies I've watched more than once in my life. Julia Roberts plays this character in an enchanting way...hard not to love her. Richard Gere has always played the rich guy douchebag turned nice guy very well. Always love a well played out happy ending! (pun intended)
The lady that the hotel manager sent her to, to find clothes for the dinner meeting played Ellie Walker on the Andy Griffith Show. I think she was Andy’s first girlfriend on the show.
not enough reactions to this movie on RUclips. My favorite! I can watch it anytime and never get tired of it. has something special sprinkled in it like many of Julia Roberts films. Her ginger hair is iconic
Great job ladies , and Julia R has her breakout role. The necklace that Vivian wears to the opera really cost $250,000. While filming, a security man from the jewelry store equipped with a gun was constantly standing behind the director. So many actors were auditioned for GERE's role AL pacino turned it down even tho he loved the screenplay, and Chris Reeve was upset during his audition as no one was serious supposedly, when he read and ripped the script afterwards
Thanks!
Her Oscar non was truly justified. She was great in My Best Friends Wedding
Ok. You asked! I saw this with my wife back in the day. I really liked this movie. Still do. We both liked it. So much so that we bought it on VHS. Then DVD. Always a favorite. And it isn’t just because of Julia R. It’s a modern fairytale that just works! And you’re right about Hector Elizondo playing “fairy godmother” roles. He did in “Princess Diaries” too. (My late wife and I only had a daughter so that explains my familiarity with such things.) Great reaction video! This movie is OLD Hollywood. The old good Hollywood. [Sidebar: some multi-course meals use small portions of ice cream to “cleanse the palate” between courses. ]
Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Hello, just so you know. I eat ice cream or sherbet for the ice cream of it all. Anything else caused by the consumption of ice cream is a serendipity. " Hey! "
I’ve seen this movie a thousand times.
Why am I only just now catching that Ralph Bellamy literally said this?
"I’ve reconsidered my position on your acquisition, on one condition."
😆 Morse had bars.
According to IMDB, this was Julia's 9th movie. It followed immediately after Steel Magnolias, which gave her a big boost, being in an ensemble cast with five women who were bigger names at the time but as a major focal point of the movie, but this was the movie that made her a big star.
28:47 "Believe me, you'll understand. The music's _very_ powerful."
And Italian is a lovely language, so even if there are aspects you don't understand, you'll still probably enjoy yourself.
The popular music of 1990-1991 seems to have been lost and overlooked between the 1990 reminiscing and 1980s nostalgia.
The music of 1991 is 80s.. the vibe from the 80s went over into 1992..
I remember reading an article all these years later and the interviewer asking Julia Roberts if her still being tied to this movie by forever being called Pretty Woman no matter what the circumstance bothered her. And Julia gave the most candid, matter of fact real answer I'd ever heard on the subject. She bluntly said, 'Let me think. Um, hells no. What's the alternative? Being called Mediocre Woman. Or That Old Whore. There are worse fates in this world than being condemned with the lasting label of Pretty Woman.'
Julia. Not only, indeed, a pretty woman, but a beautiful mind.
❤
Some trivia: Bridget from Women's Clothing was played by Elinor Donahue who is best remembered as daughter Betty on TV's Father Knows Best which ran 1954 to 1960.
19:53 "I was sorry to hear about your dad. When did he die?"
"Last month."
"😄He said it _so_ matter-of-fact."
"Do you miss him?"
"I hadn't spoken to him in fourteen and a half years. I wasn't there when he died."
🤔Sounds like Edward got along with _his_ father about as well as I get along with _mine._ I mean, 14 years? He was quite literally a _stranger._
That wasn't dessert. It was sorbet, I think. It cleans the palet before your dinner.
Both of you are Pretty Women. With the same flowing beautiful hair as Julia Roberts. Ty for the reaction video, loved every second of it.
Aww thank you Daniel!
So sweet, thank you ☺️ ❤️
Hector Elizondo makes this movie. He's so kind to Viv. And he basically plays the same character in "The Princess Diaries," another Garry Marshall film. In fact, Hector was in nearly all of Marshall's movies.
But if you want to see him playing a completely different character watch The Taking of Pelham one two three (1974)
One of the highest grossing movies of that era. A huge hit. We all fell in love with Julia, and guys liked Richard Gere as the successful smooth operator. Lovely reaction, ladies.
Another good rom com worth watching is The American President with Michael Douglas and Annette Benning.
Thank you!!
Laura was in one of the best westerns ever, Quigley Down Under!
10:10 "What do you want?"
"What do you do?"
"Everything. But I don't kiss on the mouth."
I think that might actually be a _deal_ breaker, for me. I mean, we're talking about an act of _intimacy,_ here. I have trouble picturing intimacy without kissing. I mean, the mouth is where it _starts._
an oldie but a goodie! great chemistry between them.......
💯
Pro tip...when I was young and working I'm the music industry, I went to a premiere for this movie, met the cast, the director, and Natalie Cole! Jason and Richard have done 3-4 movies together, including the heartbreaking and beautiful movie, Hachi a dogs tale! Hector elizondo an amazing actor! The old dad is Hollywood royalty from black and white days. Also a great part in Eddie Murphy movie, trading Places!
Sooooo, where's the tip there?
@@eatsmylifeYT Sounds more like a fun fact.
@@jsharp3165 The dude can't even put a decent sentence together, much more a paragraph.
I've seen Julia Roberts in several movies and she constantly shines throughout her performances whether in "Runaway Bride" (although the storyline was not as good), "Notting Hill" with Hugh Grant, "Stepmom" (very good movie), and "Erin Brockovich" (a masterpiece and a Great performance by J.R who got an Oscar for that). As for Richard Gere, and apart from his 2 movies with J.R, I've only seen him in "Hatchi", a great touching movie worth watching. Thank you ladies for your reaction. I did enjoy it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!! Appreciate it! ☺️
Aside from this movie Richard Geres biggest hits up to this time were much earlier with movies like American Gigolo and An Officer And A Gentleman
Don’t forget, this was a Disney film. They are the fairytale experts.
True haha
So I have a distinct memory of finding a VHS type that had been recorded off of TV that said Pretty woman on the side of it that my mom had hidden behind a picture in our living room. I was such a goodie goodie I never watched it till I was older, but I remember finding that VHS and thinking it was the highest form of contraband. Lol I don't remember when the first time I actually watched it was, but I remember Richard Gere being on the in the top of my girlhood crushes in Middle/High School. 💗
Ladies thank you for reviewing this movie. Yes I like movies other than baseball. A movie that has an All Star cast of actors along with an up and coming bunch of future performers. This was Julia's breakthrough movie. Didn't win an Oscar until Erin Brockovich in 2001, but she deserved one in this movie. Gere is Gere....always spectacular and I would be remissed if I didn't mention the hotel manager, Hector Elizonzo. Like you my favorite scene is when Julia goes back into the boutique and sticks it to the saleslady.
I just watched a very touching bittersweet drama called "It's my Party" (1996) that starred Julia Roberts brother.
The shop manager "Mr. Hollister" is played by actor/comedian Larry Miller. I met Larry back in the late 80's thru a comedian friend of mine and got to attend his HBO comedy special. He was as nice as he is funny.
I cried the whole time.
Two hours of my life ,I can't get back...
Vivian helped him face his fear of heights & fear of commitment ❤
I was 23 when this movie came out. I wasn't much into Rom-Coms. My GF at the time made me take her to the movie and I fell in love with it. This movie started me out on Rom-Coms. I ended up buying it on VHS, I bought it again when it came out on DVD.... I also had the soundtrack back in the day. It is a great movie. Thank you for your reaction
Thanks for the comment!
Classic Movie...They don't make 'em like this anymore...As a man I happen to be a Hopeless romantic...This movie and Runaway Bride are my some of my favorites
1:16 "Now I _did_ see these two pair up in the late '90's, when they did, like _Runaway Bride._ I remember, I liked that, as a kid."
Oh. Sure. I once had that movie on DVD. You know, Hector Elizondo _also_ costars in both.
My mom loved this movie. Of course, she never understood the implications. It’s a fun romantic romp that defines women as claymation objects.
My mom loved this movie. It is a good movie. Mom had cancer. She fought tooth and nail but I lost her in 2011. My daughter loves it as well. I will never forget the time we spent together. Mom was the best.
Very sorry to hear that.
Natalie's hair color is sexier.
The sorbet wasn't dessert. It's usually served in between courses to cleanse the palate.
Hector Elizondo and Larry Miller who both starred in this film also both starred in The Princess Diaries which is also similar to Pretty Woman in terms of transformation as the story progresses.
Loved that when it came out!
Loved it! I remember Julia in Mystic Pizza and have never seen a movie with her that didn't give me joy. I really loved Erin Brockavich. If you haven't seen it, please do.
Anyone else here watch it twelve times in the theaters when it first came out? Anyone? Anyone? 😅
It's a fancy French restaurant, the sorbet is a palate cleanser between courses.
Pure magic on celluloid.
There were so many cinematic callbacks to this movie throughout the years speaking to its influence. One of the best was oddly in 2000's SHE'S ALL THAT. When the leading girl says to the main heart-throb guy their magical moment getting together finally 'is some kind of fairy tale. Like Pretty Woman and I'm Julia Roberts. I mean, except for the prostitution part.'
Gere and Roberts super natural and effortless banter plus crazy chemistry has lost none of it's power.
Another Richard Gere movie that's fantastic is First Knight. Another Julia Roberts movie that's fantastic is Erin Brokovich. Some of these older movies just hit so different. Enjoyed the reaction y'all!
Have seen First Knight many times! Need to see the other though! Thanks!
28:00 The Dude: "It really tied the outfit together."
😂😂
22:55 "I din- I know what's coming. I _do_ know this."
Oh, yeah. Time for Vivian to _rub it in!_
I remember sneaking into this movie with my friends when I was13. We all loved it! As an adult, I realize that our parents were right and we had no business watching the movie. I also remember falling in love with Richard Gere! 😂
he didnt really have a rule about not kissing on the lips. he was just deflecting a little.
42:26 "At the very least, the men out there enjoyed Julia Roberts."
Well, yeah. Of course. Don't forget about Laura San Giacomo, though. The movie doesn't emphasize her anywhere _near_ as much, but she's hot too.
I think what you might have noticed as “Desert” at the Formal Dinner scene was a little Crème De Menthe or Mint Sorbet traditionally brought out to clear the pallet in between courses. Part of the joke with Vivian frantically trying to get another bite of it before it was being removed by the waiter is that it’s not really part of the meal and isn’t designed to be finished merely used. Kind of like mouth wash that one swallows. Thank you both for the lovely reaction to this beautiful romantic film! Cheers!
Thank you!!
That is the best reaction I have seen, I just felt like giving you a big hug and tell you it will be alright.🤗🤗
Thank you!
That wasn't desert / ice cream. It's what's known as a palate cleanser. ( a spoonful eaten ) Between courses. clears the taste buds, so you are ready to fully experience the tastes & textures of the next course. ( relatively tiny but very expensive plates of food ). Put together in particular combinations to enhance, & meld flavors. Flavors heightened by the wine chosen for that specific course / flavor profile. Fine dining can have anywhere from 4 to ten courses. Each paired with different wines. Not rich myself BTW. Boyfriend is a fine dining chef.
Richard Gere was probably the perfect guy for the role as was Julia for hers😎
« Trou normand » ice scream before the main 😊 French restaurant
The 90's were a trip...became a Dad in 94' and again in 96'! Kind of a blur!
The 90s was also the birth of TECHNO and INDUSTRIALISED CASTING GROUPS and GANGSTAH RAP ... and a certain "north atlantic military organisation" not changing its goals, but rather keeping on fighting the Cold War ...
It was the decade when sh.. really started to aim for the fan ... announced by Osama's first failed attempt at bombing the World Trade Center.
Richard Gere is so handsome, classic look.
5:01 "Don't take less than $100."
Remember that number.
12:07 "Vivian, I have a business proposition for you."
"What do you want?"
"I'm gonna be in town until Sunday. I'd like you to spend the week with me."
"Really?"
"Yes. Yes, I'd like to hire you as an employee. Would you consider spending the week with me? I will pay you to be at my beck and call."
"Look. I'd love to be your beck-and-call girl, but, uh, you're a rich, good-looking guy. You could get a million girls _free."_
"I want a professional. I don't need any romantic hassles, this week."
"If you're talkin' 24 hours a day, it's gonna cost you."
"Oh, yes. Of course. All right. Here we go. Give me a ballpark figure. How much?"
"Six full nights. Days, too. 4000."
"Six nights at 300 is 1800."
"You want days, too."
"2000."
"3000."
"Done."
"Holy sh!t!"
See that? Kit told her not to be content with less than $100 and she just locked up _$3000!_
G'day from Australia, first time here, love the curls. We still quote this flick a lot lol such an iconic story.
Ooooh, Man from Snowy River...don't wanna miss that!🔥🇨🇦
A sorbet would typically be served as a dessert before the main meal. Its purpose is to cleanse the palate.
Learning new things 😁
You should watch The American Gigolo (1980) starring a young Richard Gere. Iconic movie with great soundtrack by Giorgio Moroder
Hello, saw it in theater. Just saw a RUclips video two weeks ago. Hector Elizondo was describing how James Garner took Hector under his wing. In a sense a protégée. Anyways the Ladies of " Force of Light Entertainment " are every bit as stunning as Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock. i hope that you two find your " Eduard ". I wish you good health, good fortune and happiness.
As is often shouted in unison upon the streets of Kyoto, Japan: " Hey! "

Thank you!
Always enjoyed this movie. I was in 8th grade when it came out. The appreciation for it grew over the years. Which made Runaway Bride more intriguing since they had such good chemistry in this movie. Julia was pretty much the queen of Hollywood for a decade. She gave us movies Like Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias, Dying Young, Hook, The Pelican Brief, I Love Trouble, Stepmom, and Nottinghill. I miss movies like that. They don't come out of Hollywood anymore. Anyone But You came close, but the comedy was too much cringe for me. Thankfully, you can get that vibe from shows out of Korea, China, and Japan. If you haven't looked at the streaming service Viki, I highly recommend it. I have found several great series on there.
Glad to know you both love this classic. I forgot how funny it was. It's definitely a modern take on "My Fair Lady" and "Cinderella".
Julia Roberts Is So Beautiful Gorgeous Woman ❤❤❤❤
💯
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Exactly 💯
Classsic movie. Speaking of Richard Gere, have y'all seen First Knight? You might like it. I enjoyed this watch. 5 Hoots to Michelle and Natalie! Take care ladies! Can't wait for the next one.
Yes! Use to watch that a lot as kids!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Awesome! It's such a good movie.
@@therealstephentv it is!
Fun one, Ladies! I really enjoyed rewatching this one with the two of you. Charming! 😊Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Impossible to watch Pretty Woman and NOT fall in love with Julia Roberts. And how good is Hector Elizondo! If you haven't seen The Flamingo Kid, Hector is great as Matt Dillon's Dad.
Thanks for another great watch pretty women!
Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment My pleasure! 😃
I was today years old when I noticed that Edward gave Vivian a black credit card. Those are so rare.
Great reaction, btw. 🎉
Yes they are! Thank you!
20:40..."The glasses are in there, Julia". Whoops...
The waiter that catches the escargot catches another in a different movie as well.
Assuming you haven’t watched it yet you guys will enjoy an officer and gentleman
Haven’t heard of it:)
It IS the same hotel from Beverly Hills Cop.
You were right.
What's not to like? Besides Julia Roberts making her mark on the cinema we get La Traviatta (which will absolutely make you cry at the end) and an appearance by Elinor Donahue who was all over network TV in my childhood - she delivers that "They never are" line like Maravich or Bird with a look-away pass. Great choice and I enjoyed watching it (again) with you two.
Thank you!! ☺️
Other RomCom's with the same or similar storylines are "As Good As It Gets" with Jack Nicholson & Hellen Hunt and "Nightshift" with Henry Winkler & Shelly Long and Michael Keaton.
You might like Tortilla Soup... the hotel manager appears in that too.
Didn't see this in theaters, but when it aired on TV. Lol, I was just starting high school then. Good movie, and looking back on it, Julia just had that "wow" factor that guys couldn't resist. That movie made her the "It" girl in Hollywood for quite a while. I slso remember Roy Orbison's titular song got played on the radio a lot. I think it made it back into the charts as a result. Fun reaction Lovely Ladies. 👍😎👍
Thank you!!
FYI - It wasn't dessert, it's called a palate cleanser. Something clean like a sorbet before the main meal. It's supposed to reset your palate.
I just want to give you some insight into how the general attitude towards this film changed in this century - You two are the first _females_ I have heard openly and willingly admit to actually like this movie!
It’s good!
the original movie ending he left her but the test audience did not like that ending so they went with this one. I for one am glad
Since you liked Here in this, watc h him in 1997 The Jackal, as an I.R.A.fighter in prison getting out to stop an assassin, the only movie Bruce Willis is a bad guy! Sidney Poitier in one of his last movies, and Diane Venora, one of my favorite actress as Koslova. And Him young in legendary drama romance movie, 1982 An Officer and a Gentleman, with great Louis Gossett Jr, and Debra Winger.
Guarantee you both will like both movies.
Both are as beautiful as ever 💖💋💖
The guy who said “it happens all the time “ is also in princess diaries (Disney movie) as a little cameo
Yes!
9:16 I have never understood why she felt the need to _hide_ this.
Dear Ladies,many and many thanks for next brilliant reactions! I think,that Julia Roberts is absolutely great,perfect actress (my humble opinion). Have a nice,pleasant,beautiful Labour Day (May Day). Btw - I hope,that people in the USA celebrate Labour Day. Thank you so much again! Greetings from the Central Europe.
Thank you!! 😊
