This is old-fashioned, assembly-line moviemaking without the old panache.

She steers him back to his hotel, charming him along the way, and he decides to hire her for the rest of the evening.

Reviews for Pretty Woman
Pic's casting is astute, with Gere underplaying like a sturdy ballet star who hoists the ballerina Roberts on his shoulders.
It's saying Roberts' character becomes a better person when she lands a rich guy and learns to cry at the opera.
The sweetest and most openhearted love fable since The Princess Bride.
