Julia Roberts is a romantic comedy queen. Whether it is playing a famous actress who falls in love with a bookstore owner, like in Notting Hill, or struggling at a gathering of friends, like in My Best Friend’s Wedding, Roberts knows how to get an audience to fall in love with her on screen. One of the best romantic comedies she’s brought to us is Pretty Woman. The film, which she stars in with Richard Gere, was released in 1990, and now Samsung users can relive the magic on Samsung TV Plus!
In September, Samsung users can watch Vivian Ward (Roberts) fall in love and pretend to be a woman of luxury with Edward Lewis (Gere) in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. With iconic scenes like Vivian in the red dress or going into a store and telling a rude employee they’ve made a big mistake, huge, the movie lives on in rom-com history as one of the best of the genre. And rightfully so, it laid the groundwork for what many of our modern romantic comedies try to emulate, and why not revisit the classic?
Pretty Woman is about a confident sex worker named Vivian. When she meets Edward Lewis, he pays her to spend the week with him and keep him company while he is in Los Angeles for work. The problem is that the two of them fall in love, and while not everyone in his circle is aware of Vivian’s career, he has friends who are not as accepting of this new love that he has found in his life. There are so many iconic moments throughout the film that it is hard to pick just one favorite!
The ’90s rom-com scene belonged to Roberts, but the decade started with Roberts and Gere and ended with them as well. It started in 1990 with Pretty Woman, and the two would go on to star in Runaway Bride in 1999, continuing their romantic comedy filmography together. But fans do love to revisit Pretty Woman time and time again. At any given time, you can probably find it on cable television, but one of the most iconic scenes is often censored. So why not watch Vivian Ward and Edward Lewis in all their glory on Samsung TV Plus?
Fall in love just as they did and rewatch Pretty Woman this September.
