Its a shame we're only treated to ONE movie per decade of the dynamic duo of Julia "world's largest mouth" Roberts and Richard "Hampster" Gere. I found myself laughing out loud - not once - during this movie.

Paramount should have been shut down for making a film that glorifies a woman with total disrespect for her fiance(s), men in general, and everyone else in her life. Roberts is her usual strange self and should be sent the bill for all the resources wasted finding Jennifer Wilbanks after she decided it would be cool to imitate this braindead movie.

Not so funny when it happens to you, is it? Now that the public has turned on the real runaway bride, attempting to press criminal charges for her flighty behavior, we can appreciate just how unreal this movie was, and that "Julia" would have left lots of wreckage behind her as she bolted from each wedding. Instead, the whole tragedy is played for laughs and, ironically, press coverage. Both Gere and Julia have seen better days, and have been playing themselves in lackluster films as long as anyone can remember. Watch "Goodbar" instead to see the real Gere.

In my opinion, this movie was much better than "Pretty Woman." It was more realistic, had more charming characters, had much more beautiful scenery, and was a lot funnier than Gere and Roberts previous flick. This movie is safe for anyone over 13. Get a copy of it from amazon today. You will not regret it. It is a classic.

I just finished reading several of the reviews for this movie and most the complaints seemed to be because this wasn't "Pretty Woman".

Thank God!

The only thing they have in common is the stars, Gere and Roberts. I watch enough movies that I don't feel the need to compare, but try to watch them on their own merits (if indeed they even have any).

I like this one, obviously. The acting was absolutely surperb, the storyline interesting, and the magic always there. Occasionally, a great happy ending is wonderful and this was pretty much a great ending for everyone, even the jilted 4th husband to be.

On a purely superficial note, Roberts doesn't seem to give a damn how she looks and I like that, too. At times she looked bloody awful, others drop-dead gorgeous. Gere, on the other hand, just keeps getting better and better looks-wise. I liked the combination of the two, the chemistry, and their on screen reactions to one another.

Well worth seeing and owning.
