Part of Staff Picks and programmed by Jessie, who says: “Grab your best friend — time to fall in love with PRETTY WOMAN all over again! In true Vivian fashion it would be ‘a big mistake, HUGE’ to miss on the big screen.”
When successful corporate mogul Edward Lewis meets independent and carefree hooker Vivian Ward, their two lives are worlds apart. But Vivian’s energetic spirit challenges Edward’s no-nonsense, business-minded approach to life, sparking an immediate attraction. He teaches her about the finer things in life — and she teaches him that love could be the best investment he ever made.
“Yes, yes, the 80's are over. But isn't there room in the time capsule for PRETTY WOMAN, the romantic comedy about a lovelorn corporate raider and a sweet, wholesome streetwalker from Hollywood Boulevard? This one truly deserves a place. It is something special.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times (Mar 23, 1990) “It’s the sweetest and most openhearted love fable since THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Here is a movie that could have marched us down mean streets into the sinks of iniquity, and it glows with romance…. About as warmhearted as a movie about two cold realists can possibly be.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (Mar 23, 1990)
