Is there any men that think Pretty Woman is a good film?
Is there any women who think Pretty Woman isn't a good film?



man - pile of plop



Well I'm a man and have never managed to sit through the whole of Pretty Woman. So it a thumbs down from me



A Bloke:
A disgraceful film whose main message is about how much fun it is to be a prostitute.



Chap - Dire



Bloke - (please don't start a flame war) It's been a while since I've seen it, but I liked it!!!



Mr. RDNZL opts for the 'sack o' cack' appraisal.

Me here raising my hand :D



Bloke - loved it. :thumbs:



Chap - liked it when I first saw it, but now I'm old(er), bitter & twisted, I think it's a wretched film that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :)
Still like the soundtrack though! :p



Doctor (male):
Steaming pile of poo :|



Bloke - I don't own it, but I did like it!

Is there any women who think Pretty Woman isn't a good film? Bloke, quite like it, own the DVD even(well, it did only cost about £6 or something in a sale).



Bloke, finds it very hard to sit through anything starring Julia Roberts.
Recipe for the Chick Flick..
Add light sexual innuendo (‘titter’ brand), sprinkling of male gay friend, ten spoonfuls of smaltz, a carton of Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant/Winona Ryder/Renee Zewelleger/Sandra Bullock, leave to boil stirring occasionally for about 1hr and 35 minutes et voila! Bon appetit female members of the audience [hapless dragged along boyfriends getting sick in the background].



A truly appalling film.



Not a fan - the wife loves it. Similarly girly appeal films of the era include Ghost and Dirty Dancing. Haven't seen the latter but the former was actually quite good.:)

Its only halfway decent because that weird looking bloke with the dark eyes is in it.

:clap: excellent recipe.. although, you've missed two essential ingredient for recipes of this type:
Richard Gere, Meg Ryan.
as to the thread:
As a bloke, all i've got to say about Pretty Woman is that it's not to my taste, but is the architypal chick flick, along with those other classics "Dirty Dancing", and "Grease".



Yeah I'll take out Winona as well..:eek:



I'm male, and I thought that Pretty Woman was just awful - but polling my girlfriend (who is female :clap: ) she agrees that it's terrible.
However, she may only be agreeing because she's intimidated by my masculinity. :lol: :nuts:



Male - if horse faced Roberts hadn't been in it,it would have been a good film.



Male - I'm gonna sit on the fence on this one and say it's ok.
And I'm not coming down.



Bloke - love it, got the R1 Spec Ed early on.



man- passable film about how all beautiful women should be prostitutes if they want to find their perfect man. it's a metaphor for the wonders of golddigging, simply making ms. roberts a literal prositute rather than a sly one that pretends to be your girfriend. notice it takes huge amounts of spending on the part of mr. gere to convince her she's in love, rather than her being able to fall for a poor man who could only just scrape together 50 bucks for a quickie.



Woman - I don't like it.
And to answer another poser - Dirty Dancing is just about watchable but I wouldn't watch it again out of choice and I adore Ghost.



Stanton, I think we've proved here that sex isn't an amazingly good predictor for whether people like Pretty Women or not;).



Male - Liked the boots, disliked the film... Is it true they used a body double for the legs on the film posters/cover...?

They did use a body double for the poster. Unfortunately the owner of the body didn't have the face to match.



Man - like the film

:p
That reminds me about a similar moment in Disney's Aladdin, when he's on the magic carpet beside the princess' balcony. She's not interested in him until she discovers he's on a magic carpet - ie., the guy with the car gets the girl!!! :eek:



Dreadful movie but had to "balance" the DVD collection by getting it.
and Julia Roberts STILL walks funny



Liked it when I first saw it at cinema (voluntarily, with mixed group of University friends :eek: ), and the few times I saw it on video/TV in subsequent years.
Now I think it's cack. Typical saccharine-coated twaddle from Hollywood.
PS. I'm a bloke.



me? Crap
wife? loves it!:brickwall



I liked it well enough at the time and haven't seen it since.
If it's such a 'girly' film, it's slightly odd that it was written, produced and directed by men.



One of the most manipulative chick flicks ever (that fits my recipe above to a tee) is Four Weddings and a Funeral. Also My Best Friends Wedding. In fact any movie with the word 'Wedding' in the title..
My Big Fat Best Friends Greek Wedding Singers Funeral



Can't stand it, neither can my wife - She didn't like My Best friend's wedding either, but liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
I'll say one thing for Pretty Woman, it does have the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the soundtrack (as well as Roy Orbison obviously ;) )
