the first time i saw this be when i be with a date and and she think it be an awesome movie . i do not . the second time i saw this be last night on tv . it still suck . a a love story this suck . a have julia portray a street hooker and this be repulsive . to me she be a librarian with a miniskirt and heel . she have no tough shell to her . she wasn not torture and anguish and enrage and starve or anything else . her hooker character be so flawed and like compare a cubic zircon to a diamond . the two simply do not fit and no matter what they look like . the only cast i felt be worth watching be the 2 bitchy saleswoman and whom be excellently cast . they do such a fine job that i hat them for the few second that they be on screen . they have real definition and for the minor role . ok and so the movie wasn not entirely trash . the two ignorant saleswoman save the film . aside from those two woman sale people and the rest of the cast . include the big name be just crap . either everybody be an as kisser or have absolutely no reason to fill any dialog in the movie aside from just compliment julia robert or kiss as to richard gere . this be a movie about how when you walk around in high heel and a tight skirt in beverly hill and people leer at you and guy who work in hotel gawk a if they just have a baseball bat strike to their face . while in reality and the woman who be dress to the nine in beverly hill be hooker and prostitute to a high degree and but since they aren not wear the gaudy madonna look jewelry or the patent boot and they can look down on the others who do . the hotel cast be sickeningly sad to watch and and anybody who have any real character have less than a minute of screen time . this be an insult to romantic movie and comedy and drama and even to prostitute who face wealthy customer on a daily basis with hope of have their life work out perfect . the story be about julia robert be pimp ( yes pimp ) by a multimillionaire in a business suit and limousine . she be still own and still tell how to act and how to move and what to wear and what to say and where to go and what to do . he be more control than a street pimp and but the folk at disney or buena vista butter it up to make it easy to swallow . have richard gere be a black man with a gold tooth and an ak 47 at his side instead of an attaché case and this movie would be about how a woman have to struggle to get away from the harshness of prostitution . same story and different character will make a very different outlook . oh yeah and change the white man for a black man or asian or spanish and have the land business deal be change to a deal of weapon or narcotic and the entire concept of romantic comedy be throw away . as far a i be concern and pretty woman be still trash and dress with ribbon and bow . i do not like it 15 year ago and when i do not understand it and be lead by the hollywood hype . i hate it now that i can see past the pretty decoration that be call love . this movie be not a romantic comedy . it a story on how to control a woman as long a you have the mean and income to do so . this be an insult to strong woman and weak woman and woman in general and as well a to my television screen . do i hate it . yes . do it suck . yes would i recommend it to you . no . well maybe if i really hat you . will this review get post . we will see . anywayz and that all for now .
