ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

likalaruku The cover music is seriously meh, the lines are forced & unnatural, the humor is what I 'd expect from a children's cartoon. When I think about the process of writing it, instead of a writer, I see a waiter endlessly grating cheese onto a salad while the the director insistd on "more cheese, much more."

MartinHafer In PRETTY WOMAN, Julia was a prostitute and the public embraced the film. So, naturally, in this film they made her, in some ways, even more unlikable--as a selfish woman who makes it a habit to leave men at the alter. Again and again, she walks out of these men's lives at the last possible second and we are asked to care about her? Frankly, after leaving nice guy after nice guy, I just didn't like her. Plus, this being a formulaic film, you KNOW that despite all this, Richard Gere MUST in the end marry this bimbo! You don't totally hate his character, but considering that he knows all about her past and he STILL wants to marry her, he is in the end revealed to be a total fool.In romance movies we are often asked to suspend disbelief. I can do this and often do with films. But, in this case we are asked to suspend our brains! This I cannot do and encourage you to demand more from a film.While from a technical aspect this isn't a horrible film, but the message it gives viewers is.

jessegehrig The funniest part of this movie is when I remembered that Julia Roberts and Richard Gere were also in Pretty Woman together, I had managed to forget, awesome. I am absolutely going to spoil the ending for you: Julia and Richard get together in the end. Remember how at the end of Pretty Woman, Richard and Julia get together, yeah, same thing in this movie. Were you worried? Did you think that even though they are both the lead actors in a romantic comedy that they wouldn't get together? I mean the only reason this movie was made was because so many people were happy that Richard and Julia get together in Pretty Woman--seriously, did it come to you as a surprise? They also make good movie or you could watch this one.

SnoopyStyle Ike Graham (Richard Gere) is a famous NY newspaper columnist. He meets a stranger George Swilling (Reg Rogers) in a bar who tells him about a small town girl Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) who ran out on him. Ike writes about the Runaway Bride in his column. Maggie gets angry and writes a letter with 15 factual errors. He gets fired by his ex-wife Ellie (Rita Wilson) for the actionable mistakes that could get the paper sued. He goes to do some research on Maggie. If she runs away again, then he would have a front page story. This time Maggie is engaged for the fourth time, this time to high school football coach Bob Kelly (Christopher Meloni). He comes to town and stirs up a whole lot of trouble.Director Garry Marshall has the ability to get great actors. He reunites the 'Pretty Woman' team along with a lot of good comedic talents. The problem is that this movie pales in comparison. Julia Roberts still has that winning smile. There is a lot more salt in Richard Gere's hair. The romance isn't quite there this time. Their characters don't like each other and the inevitable unimaginative turn feels forced. It would make more sense if the turn didn't happen. If Marshall wants to make a rom-com out of this, Ike Graham should be Cupid rather than Prince Charming. It would be a more compelling poetic turn if a long time townie friend actually knows how she likes her eggs. Everything after the turn in Ike and Maggie is a waste of time.
