Our take on Pretty Woman

Garry Marshall's 1990 romantic comedy pairs Vivian, a carefree, streetwise woman, with Edward, a polished billionaire, after a chance encounter turns into a week-long arrangement. Her spirited warmth soon collides with his buttoned-up, all-business outlook, and the two begin teaching each other how to live and love. Bright, glamorous and unabashedly wish-fulfilling, it's a modern fairy tale that leans on star chemistry and feel-good uplift rather than realism. It suits viewers happy to embrace a classic opposites-attract fantasy without scrutinizing the setup. If you want a warm, iconic date-night comfort watch, this remains an easy and enduring choice.
