I don't care how unrealistic this movie is; it just makes me happy. I have seen it a dozen times or more, and I still laugh at the funny moments and feel Vivian's pain when she's mistreated and love how she changes Edward. It may be a silly plot, but it never fails to leave me with a good feeling.

[@Jen-Mom]

Yes!! 😊❤

[@marieantoinette1360]

Agree on all points!

[@MikiJohnson13]

The close up of Jen when Nick correctly predicts the return to the bitchy store. 😎

[@denanebergall5514]

I LOVED THAT!! 💗

Did you know that Julia Roberts was an unknown 21 year old when she made this movie? She auditioned twice before she got the role.This is the movie that launched her into superstardom. On the other hand, Richard Gere turned the roll down twice before accepting. Among Gere's many talents, he is also a concert level pianist. He wrote and played the piece he was playing in the bar scene. Gere snapping the jewelry case shut wasn't the only ad lib that made the final cut. There is a fair amount of ad libbing. This movie is worth reseaching because there is a lot of fun trivia to be learned about it. This is one of my favorite movies.

[@jerryalexander8803]

She was known from Steel Magnolis and Mystic Pizza, but yea Pretty Woman was definitely her breakout performance

[@IgoZoom1]

I definitely agree with you that this is the movie that launched her career as one of the most successful actresses of all time! But I think her winning a Golden Globe for Steel Magnolias the previous year was the only way she got a chance to do both auditions for this role. Pretty Woman is the movie that turned her into a $20mil actress in less than a decade!

[@susanliltz3875]

The elevator operator is Gary Marshals nephew!! He also gets a cameo in “BEACHES” with Bette Midler!!! ( great movie, you’d love it, hint hint!!)

[@marieantoinette1360]

It'll keep you honest

[@jose9593]

Julia Roberts was Oscar nominated for this movie - Best Actress in a Leading Role.

[@JillCrowe55]

Y’all need to see Stepmom with Julia Roberts, Ed Harris and Susan Sarandon

[@elizabethparker4511]

Yes! That is a fantastic movie.

[@andreadeamon6419]

I agree

[@dunbardunelm3924]

I just they could’ve edited it down somehow.

[@IgoZoom1]

Great suggestion! I forget all the amazing movies that Julia has been in! I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with her sometimes, but when she is good, MAGIC happens!

[@marieantoinette1360]

I'm not crying... you're crying!

[@georgeplimpton9429]

I watched this movie A BUNCH OF TIMES during Desert Shield / Desert Storm. When we had off time, we had a video tent where we could check out a VCR video and watch it. There were several guys and girls in our group, and the girls kept wanting to watch this over-and-over. One of the best parts for me, was when Roxette sang "It Must Have Been Love." Something about hearing her sing helped with missing my wife and son for all those months. Unfortunately, she died of cancer, and I wish I could have hugged her and thanked her for the calm feeling her voice brought, but of course I can't. But I will always remember Marie Fredriksson with a very warm place in my heart!

[@andreadeamon6419]

Btw the necklace and earrings were real. There was an armed guard on site the whole time while filming

[@Jen-Mom]

😮

[@susanliltz3875]

Oh mom!! Loved your expression when Nick was talking about the shopping scene, man he had it all figured out before seeing it!!😂 Your expression was like “We know what’s coming!! Wait till he sees this!!”👍💕

[@honeybadger7105]

Yes! So did I, It’s such a cheeky Mom face lol

[@andrewmccormack4295]

That's my favorite section of the film,I can't stand that type of shop worker.

*Pretty* *Woman* *(1990)* I saw this movie back in the day when I was in 4th or 5th grade (1991-1992) on VHS 📼. I didn’t see it in the theater back in early 1990 when I was still in 3rd grade but it was quite a phenomenon when it was out. I saw it multiple times in the early 90s because my mom owned a copy of this movie. Then I didn’t see it again until maybe 5-6 years ago. Almost 30 years. You know what? It actually holds up very well! It aged much better than Dirty Dancing (1987). I think it aged better than Batman (1989)! It’s quite comparable to The Little Mermaid (1989) released 4 months earlier. Redheaded, attractive girl with a heart of gold and fish out of water story. It’s become one of my top 10 favorite chick flicks and rom-coms ever. This is Julia Roberts during her absolute prime after she did Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias. Made her America’s sweetheart. I have an uncle who kinda looks like Eric Roberts, Julia’s older bro. Very underrated performance by Héctor Elizondo who portrayed the hotel manager. Very kind to help Viv get a dress after that snotty saleswoman told her to leave. “Big mistake. Big. Huge!” In real life, Julia Roberts and Dey Young enjoyed working together and Dey is a sweet lady. Great 2021 article on Dey Young… www.today.com/today/amp/tdna208842 Laura San Giacomo who portrays Vivian’s gal pal, Kit, is hilarious in it. The screenplay still holds up. Pretty Woman was kinda the blueprint for 90s rom-coms that followed it including Julia again in My Best Friend’s Wedding and all the rom-coms that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan did together in the 80s and 90s. The scene with Jason Alexander’s character trying to rape Vivian was a bit shocking and disturbing. This was years before he did Seinfeld. Jason is hilarious in Shallow Hal. Movies like When Harry Met Sally and Pretty Woman still hold up today. If you were born in the 60s-70s and you’re female who saw Pretty Woman in the 90s, it’s probably one of your favorite movies. I think it’s better and funnier than the overrated Mean Girls (2004) and Barbie. Great songs! “It Must’ve Been Love” - Roxette “Fallen” - Lauren Wood “King of Wishful Thinking” - Go West I have all those songs. There’s a great remake from Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon for “King of Wishful Thinking”. Keep the 80s and 90s classics coming! Pretty Woman remains a timeless 90s classic. Reminds me of better days when I was ages 10-11 rewatching Pretty Woman and Troop Beverly Hills (1989). If you were born in the late 70s to early 80s (Xennial), you would’ve loved the late 80s through early 90s. It was a special time and feeling being a kid. No Internet, smartphones, and social media yet to ruin our fun. I’m a straight dude who is not into rom-coms. I’ve seen quite a number of them in the 90s like Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail, but rom-coms are not my thing. But I think Pretty Woman is still a great and iconic movie after 30+ years. Watch it again in 30 years and you’ll still have a smile on your face. I know I will.

[@taniaPBear]

That was so much fun. Thanks for watching this one Nick, even though it's not your thing, glad you enjoyed it. Jen, you'll have to get him to watch Notting Hill now. 😊✌❤

[@Jen-Mom]

[@magic8ball1982]

Mom doing the intro this time. Love it.

[@lindabell6638]

One of my Mom's all time favorite movies (with Overboard and anything with Kevin Costner in it!!) Thanks for featuring this one! 😎

[@andreadeamon6419]

I live in the area ray combs grew up in. The middle school he went to is right down the street and the opposite way is the cemetary where he's buried in the family plot. Now that's it's warm I'm going to go find it

[@andreadeamon6419]

He was the security guard at the hospital and he was a host for family feud for a while before he took his own life

[@KaterChris]

Looking forward to Jen showing Nick Notting Hill soon 🤩

[@leighwhite6700]

"They grow up so fast" 😂❤🎉 great reaction. Mama, thanks for this installment. ❤

[@chris...9497]

Gary Marshall made another rom-com with Julia and Richard called "Runaway Bride", filming it in Maryland. (In fact, they filmed a scene within walking of where I lived in Baltimore, in a Bakery where I regularly bought myself sweet treats). Really interesting film. Recommended. If you want to watch an obscure but strangely fun film, I would recommend "Warm Bodies" (2013), starring a young Nicholas Hoult and a supporting cast that includes John Malkovich and Rob Corddry. My favorite comparison film triplet is: -"About A Boy" (2002), starring Hugh Grant, 13yr-old Nicholas Hoult, and Toni Collette -"Warm Bodies" (2013), starring 24yr-old Nicholas Hoult -"Renfield" (2023), starring 34yr-old Nicholas Hoult, Nick Cage, and Awkwafina Hoult is more than up to the demands of the roles in all these films, and they are demanding. I mean, a child actor toe-to-toe with Hugh Grant! amazing and very satisfying. SOOO much fun watching you two watch!

[@IgoZoom1]

"Runaway Bride" wasn't a critical success, but I still love it! It has an awesome soundtrack, too! It also has Hector Elizondo...and another favorite, Chris Meloni. Definitely worth a watch!

[@jamiepandohie9169]

You guys should check out - RUNAWAY BRIDE - 1998 Richard Gere & Julia Roberts - Same Director

[@kimzwolinski9919]

It’s definitely an odd premise for a movie but I love it. The cast of this movie is perfect 😊

[@nitaweitzel822]

The last statement she rescues him right back

[@shallowgal462]

Escargot has the texture of calamari and tastes like oysters. . . in garlic butter, usually. I had it once as the appetizer of a full-course meal on my birthday. Baked Alaska for dessert. Amy Yasbeck is John Ritter's widow. They were in _Problem Child_ together.

[@deenormus1975]

Hahaha Jen. Yep, every time. “These are broken, mine are broken!”🤭

[@shallowgal462]

So Julia had already starred in _Mystic Pizza_ and _Steel Magnolias_ by this point. Did you recognize the tourist taking pictures of the dead body in the alley? It was Lynda Goodfriend, who played Lori Beth Cunningham, Richie's wife on _Happy Days!_

[@texasps91]

Ralph Bellamy was a hollywood star in the 30's and 40's in films with the greats like Cary Grant/Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday & Cary Grant/Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth. and Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in Carefree.

[@canadianscratcher7834]

I'm pretty sure this was Ralph Bellamy's last movie?

[@jesterforhire]

Love this flick! For some cray cray reason I watched this reaction from 2 other reactors this morning…people I barely watch and I was looking for more…and then just a few hours later… YOU TWO show up in my list. 🧐😳😊😂✌️So funny. It’s kizmit. Fun spending time with you, as usual, my KZbin family. Hugs from Seattle.

Another Pruncess Diaries Alum is the waitee that catches the snail in his hand. He's the same waiter as the one in Princess Mia's first state dinner. He was also in Princess Diaries 2. In all three films he had the same line: "It happens all the time."

[@IgoZoom1]

You guys have been an inspriation for me. I'm going thru a pretty rough time right now. I'm 49, single and I was laid off four months ago. My mom is youthful 70 and we enjoyed so many of the same movies in the late 80s and 90s togehter. Last week, I started going over to her house and rewatching a classic or introducing her to something I know she'll enjoy! It has been very healing and it's time I know I'll always treasure! There's a special connection between wonderful moms and their sons! Thank you for reminding me of that!!! LOVE you both!

[@nitaweitzel822]

Mystic Pizza was filmed in my town, I knew s Grip that worked on the film made brownies for the girls and we too them to their condo i met julie. I remember she was tall had s big smile snd lots of teeth. We also served lunch at the wrap part i broght my sons was a fun time

[@canadianscratcher7834]

The elevator operator is played by Patrick Richwood who was Mr. Robatusen in "The Princess Diaries"

[@Jen-Mom]

Ah! 😊

[@medit6194]

Remember watching this with my friends as a senior in high school, Never saw so many men in a romantic comedy at the movies 🤭

[@rebo2610]

Oh boy! I'm looking forward to this reaction! Y'all will love it!

[@pobstrel]

Julie Roberts was on a chat show here in Britain. She said that originally the screenplay and script were much darker and grittier and less fairytale. Originally Richard Gere's character was supposed to open the car door and push her out into the gutter but the movie was bought by a different studio who rewrote it.

[@Chefcorky]

Yes! The original script was called 3,000. And it was very dark and gritty. At one point, Sly Stallone was attached. And at another point in the development, the leads were close to being Al Pacino and Michelle Pfieffer. THAT would have been interesting since they starred together in Scarface.

[@davidvainqueur5511]

The Julia Roberts character was offered to Molly Ringwald, but she turned it down.

[@stevenmoules4955]

Runaway bride is good as well!

[@RichardM1366]

My mother loved this movie. It was one of her favorites. I think of her whenever it is on She was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. That is cancer of the plasma cells. She lost her battle in 2011. My daughter can't watch it without crying. On a happier note I am going to be a grandfather!

[@Flix2Us]

Congratulations on being a grandfather! And thank you so much; we hope you enjoy the video.

[@cflournoy1529]

I’m sorry for your loss. I too lost my mom to Multiple Myeloma back in 1989. Big with Tom Hanks was the last movie we saw at the theater together. It’s funny how certain movies bring back so many memories.❤

And, she played Betty, the eldest daughter on the TV series Father Knows Best.

[@JC-ke7mj]

Fun movie! Thank y'all!

[@raramonty5217]

You should watch 1997 Fools Rush In starring Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry... It's a Rom-Com also a hidden gem of a movie.

[@Jen-Mom]

Adding it to the list! 😊

[@jillfromatlanta427]

Bridget the nice saleslady was the older daughter in Father Knows Best

[@Jen-Mom]

I thought so! 😊

[@arctrooperecho66]

Jen taking over the show i like this😂

[@scottneil1187]

If you wanna see Jason Alexander in a very early role, I can recommend The Burning, an amazing slasher from the 80's. Nobody reacts to it.

[@ecow1994]

Have either of you watched The Lake House? Love that movie.

[@andrewmccormack4295]

Yeah,I also recommend "The Lake House",It's another love story type film with a twist starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock,great movie with a lovely ending along the same lines as Pretty Woman.

[@elizabethparker4511]

Also a great movie!

Adding it to the list! 😊

Please try OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN....terrific movie

In both of my comments I mentioned 2 separate friends. Both have, unfortunately passed I miss them both so glad u jalped me remember the movie and friends Many thanks 💕 😘 love 😘

[@brickm]

Julia Roberts & Richard Gere are actually great friends. As many have mentioned in the comments, they did a second Garry Marshall movie years later- Runaway Bride. They also did an interview on the 30th anniversary of Pretty Woman on the Today show. It's on KZbin if you're interested. A fun movie and I enjoyed your reaction. Love your channel!

[@jamesdamiano8894]

A Gary Marshall movie you two should check out is Young Doctors In Love. A funny spoof on daytime medical soap operas in the vein of Airpkane. Good cast also. A couple of movies featuring Julia’s brother Eric that are good are The Pope Of Greenwich Village also starring Mickey Roark and then Runaway Train which also has Jon Voight.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Omg that's the best!!

[@Jen-Mom]

Thanks for the suggestions! 😊❤

[@karijones2500]

The problem with calling the cops on the guy that slapped her is that prostitution is illegal so they all would get in trouble and not just the one guy.

My girlfriend a i watched the movie multiple times. And would often repeat lines. We sent some time catching errors. She was eating a croissant next scene it was a pancake. When they were in the park he was reading to her she took of his shoes and socks. Next scene they are back on. One night we were bar hoping, being short and flirty we leaned on the bar and asked his Edward name he replied, we stated in together, that's our favorite name. And giggled. He didn't get the jok
