    If it's a comedy, it's not funny. If it's a drama, it's not dramatic. If it's a romance, it's not romantic. The only excuse for this film was getting Julia Roberts and Richard Gere on the same movie, and if you could throw in some of their Pretty Woman sidekicks, well, the more the merrier. But it's not all exploitation: some smart lines, good acting, and a mostly original storyline saves it from the depths of a complete failure. And by the name of god, that dress was UGLY!… Expand

    Hopelessly unbelievable. And why do chicks like Roberts always fall for dorks like Gere? (because they actually find the meaning of life embedded in films such as this)

    Once again I think Julia Roberts and Richard Gere have made an EXCELLENT pair! Richard and Julia light up the screen each time they perform and they are both amazingly talented actors. Although this movie was good I don't think that the two of them will ever come up with anyhting as good as the orignal classic "Pretty Woman" Richard and Julia keep it up you huys are doing great!!!!

    So this wasn't the worst movie i've seen, but it's just average. julia and richard have no chemistry anymore (he is way too old for her), which i find FUNDAMENTAL in a romantic comedy. Although there were some good scenes and the supporting characters were good it's not what i expected to be.

    After seeing Gere and Roberts play much smarter people (even in romantic comedies), it is painful to see them dumbed down here. The screenplay is so sluggish, they're like Derby winners made to carry extra weight.

    It's all safe and sane and bland.

    Another contrived, unconvincing romantic comedy that once again mixes stale sitcom humor with laughable attempts at pathos and emotional depth.
