The reason the part where Richard Gere startles Julia Robert's by snapping the jewelry box on her hand was because it was improvised....Julia didn't know he was going to do that, so her reaction that you get to see on the movie was completely 100% genuine. It was already a cute moment to begin with, but to know it was REAL and unscripted just made me love Julia Robert's even more.

They are called hookers for a reason. Back in the Civil War, Gen. Hooker had a lot of camp followers (read prostitutes) following his army, because they helped calm down his army between engagements. So, when the soldiers were asked who they were, they would just say "they're Hooker's". The name stuck. In a similar way, the English constables would write down two people having intercourse (against the law back then, unless they were married) as For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. That would be dropped down to a quicker way as F.U.C.K.ing. 🙃

@@timhonigs6859 - The first part yes... the second part, no. Sorry, but the 'F word' predates the English language.

I'm just watching this now -- but fun fact, Garry Marshall and his sister, Penny Marshall, always used the same actors. So when you find yourself saying, "He looks familiar. She looks familiar." That's because they've most likely been in their movies. They'll especially use the same main characters to be in their leading roles for other projects. If you've ever watched The Princess Diaries, you'll find scenes from Pretty Woman in it (both Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2) because it was directed by...Garry Marshall! Also, the guy in the store helping her with her makeover in Pretty Woman was the hair stylist in PD, the hotel manager in PW is the head of security in PD, one of the guards in PD is the elevator guy in PW, and the blonde lady at the front desk in PW is Garry's daughter, who plays Queen Clarice's assistant, Charlotte in PD. The list goes on and on. Something I love about a Marshall movie is that they put in little things off camera like, "Thank you!" or "You're Welcome!" and other little cute bits. Garry even does it in PW when he made a cameo digging in a trash can when the guy comes up looking for directions. ;-) If you ever watch Hocus Pocus, Garry and Penny are husband and wife in a little scene when the sisters think Garry is the devil.

"They're in LOTS of movies together" 2 movies. This and the Runaway Bride he mentioned.

[@joshuahines1415]

Ashleigh: It's not fair that God has favorites like that. Me: Preach!

[@fizzilgig1993]

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere were THE couple that everyone wanted to see back in the day. They were both multiple year winners of "Beautiful People of the Year".

[@BeeWhistler]

“Everyone” is a bit strong. I never thought Gere was good looking and Julia Roberts gets on my nerves.

[@MandiM94]

You two going back and forth about a "straight man" had me in tears! Blake's face, he was genuinely so confused 😂😂

[@patrickstracener5329]

With glasses, "hubben" is a dead ringer for Radar O'reiley.

[@myishaprincess8515]

I was gonna ask if hubben can 'hear' helicopters before anyone else...

THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT HE'S CUTE. Not my normal, but nice. *thumbs up*

[@gabrielmauller8137]

“I like all kind of headlights.” My MAN!

[@molly7154]

The opera that Vivian and Edward see is called La Traviata. Like the film, it tells the story of an aristocrat who falls for a working girl with a heart of gold and offers her a better life. Side note: If you are interested in checking out more Julia Roberts rom coms, I highly recommend My Best Friend’s Wedding (Two words: Dermot. Mulroney.), Notting Hill (great ensemble & Richard Curtis’ writing is superb), & Runaway Bride (Again, Julia & Richard star & Garry Marshall directs)

[@DamianBartolacci]

The Jewelry box scene is famous because Richard Gere improved closing the box on Julia's fingers and Julia had no idea and her reaction is 100% genuine surprise. :)

[@tolegonianfella5423]

You two are very fun to watch together but hubbins is embodying some of my biggest watching movies pet peeve’s… Describing important things before they happen or telling you before hand to prepare when an important scene is coming up. That would be driving me insane 😂

[@LauraCourtneyette]

Yeah... I hate that too.

[@anneb889]

I got the impression he was trying to talk because she talks? Idk, like he seems the type that would watch a movie quietly in its entirety, and then discuss it at the end. But he has to speak up because she’s talking (of course it is a reaction video, but I get the impression she was making comments watching things before KZbin).

[@teresadixon2899]

The whole part explaining what a straight man is was like a comedy duo bit with him from Abbot and Costello.

[@StephenCaudillPhoto]

Yeah, bring the hubs along more often. The reactions are gold.

[@edwardthorne9875]

During the entire straight man bit, he was the perfect straight man.

[@sombojoe]

Richard Geer or Hubbin?

[@TheZeroAssassin]

"Is it safe to say, you love Lucy?" I admit to choking on my drink at his pun, and Ashlety's reaction. :)

[@LucioFercho]

I had forgotten how ridiculously pretty Julia Roberts was back in the day.

Love you two. Keep on reviewing and we will keep on viewing.

[@arnoldkegebein2147]

This movie is a modernized version of My Fair Lady. And like My Fair Lady had a scene at the horse race, Pretty Woman needed a similar scene. the polo scene.

[@danhalstead705]

And My Fair Lady was in turn a modernized version of Pygmalion, about a sculptor whose female statue comes to life.

[@MrsJoannaG]

I was literally thinking to myself yesterday...” I wonder if anyone has reacted to Pretty Woman yet?” Then this showed up this morning! 👏🏾

[@awkwardashleigh]

ask and receive!

[@ccl_unknown1748]

That scene with the necklace is so famous because it was improvised. He was messing with her by shutting the box on her to spook her and they loved how it fit into the story so they kept it in.

[@reesielovesyou]

If you love Julia Roberts, watch Sleeping With the Enemy next. It’s about a woman that leaves her shitty abusive husband and starts a new life for herself and gets her confidence and strength back

[@esme7497dy]

Very good scary movie - I love this movie.

[@carograh]

Oh my god yes I love that movie it’s so good

[@firstenforemost]

Why do people suggest movies by telling most of the plot?

[@thetomgibson]

You should do Working Girl with Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford.

[@susanlawens3776]

I feel like if you made a night of movie bingeing that started with this movie, you'd have to do "While You Were Sleeping" next.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Maybe it is because this is one of about 6 VHS that I had during a tough time when I started high school in a new environment so I watched it a billion times, or maybe because it's still one of my favorite movies, but I loved this reaction and am so glad it had both of you. Thanks!

[@brentfugett2700]

Love it when you guys watch together. Cathy and I just watched and it's like having friends over for a movie.

[@mena94x3]

A Bob Hope comparison is a total compliment. Blake IS hilarious and you two are such a fabulous couple. 🥰🥰🥰 You guys are good people, it’s genuine, something that can’t be faked - that’s why we love you both. My hubster and I are very similar to your comedic duo-type personalities. He’s super introverted, mature, a planner, not a risk taker. I am his opposite in almost every way, which _can_ cause some friction, but mostly always just keeps things interesting. We are likeminded in all the things that matter and balance each other out in all the ways that need it. Also, I think in one of your very early videos you talked about how Beans it’s not her real name but basically a nickname that has morphed over time from her original name . . . and I wanna say you told us what her original name was, but now I can’t remember for sure. 🤔

[@johncourtright1632]

Ashleigh: "I feel like there's some stuff they could have cut out" - Nope Blake: "I get that he didn't end up buying the older man's business, and selling it, fine. And that showed character development, but like, did we really need all of that?" - Yep Ashleigh: "Did we really need the polo match?" - Yep Guys, it's not a sprint to the plot finish line. All of these details are important to help us better understand the characters and become emotionally attached to them. Relax and enjoy!

This movie is like Beauty and the Beast in that Belle/Vivian are misunderstood outcasts who have a good thing going on, and the man has to change to get on her level. The whole business plot was important to make Edward become an improved man who is worthy of this diamond in the rough

"Why did everybody stand up?" Cause a gentleman stands up when a lady stands up?

[@jowbloe3673]

Why doesn't Ashleigh know that??? Hmmm . . .

[@Hiraghm]

so why did everyone stand up? Oh... right... they thought she was a lady because of how she dressed as opposed to how she acted...

[@Leon-wz1js]

I think they dug up a gentleman in an archaeological dig recently. Nobody knows exactly when that species went extinct, probably shortly after the 60's... Although it's probable that some miillenials chased the last down with inappropritely named "simp" sticks.

[@ericwalker8636]

Not just when she stands. When she enters the room, when she sits at the table, and when she rises to leave the table or the room. Some of us are old enough to remember these things.

[@anneb889]

@@Leon-wz1js Why does a gentleman stand? Is it just respect.....I have a feeling it may possibly be more that he always has to be alert, protect from potential harm, or her tripping, has to catch her fall, who knows. But most things started for a reason. Sad they don’t know that. She needs to get more old movies from the 30s, 40s etc. I’d love to see her react to It Happened One Night.

As I mentioned in another comment, Disney made this movie, so notice all of the Disney trappings, like Edward riding in on his white "horse" to rescue the "princess", and the guy who asks people on the street what their dreams are and tells people to keep on dreaming (might come true, albeit not without a lot of work and struggle).
