a GOOD movie (by cc-36) |
Call me old-fashioned, but I was glad to finally see an "adult" movie that didn't have any swearing except for once when Gere hit the bathroom door , sex, or violence. It made me think of the old movies where the hero and heroine fall in love and at the end get married and if they had sex, it was insinuated without showing anything . Yeah, that's unrealistic in these days of open speech and everything else, but it was refreshing. And it proved my point that a good movie could be made and still be rated PG. And that Julia Roberts could still make a movie these days without <more> |
Best movie I've seen this Summer! (by JEZEBEL-7) |
I absolutely loved this movie! I would consider this a true "romantic comedy". There were wonderful, well written characters and laughs all the way through. It was quite a treat to see Richard Gere play such a comedic role and do so well at it. I found this movie a joy to watch, not just because of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, but the fantastic supporting cast and the picturesque town in which the movie takes place. It was altogether a wonderful experience. I can't express how refreshing it is to see a movie with no sex, no nudity, and no cursing. Hats off to Gary Marshall <more> |
Mildly enjoyable (by Curly-27) |
As others have stated, this is not a great movie. There isn't symbolism and depth and great lessons about life. It is just the kind of light, amusing movie that doesn't strain your brain. Julia Roberts' star continues to shine. I personally think she is a very good actress. She makes it seem so effortless that the pendulum almost swings to the other side and makes it seem like she isn't acting at all, which lends itself to criticism. And for those who mentioned PRETTY WOMAN in their reviews, here is a newsflash--this isn't PRETTY WOMAN. Same stars, different movie--repeat <more> |
what happened on the flight to Hale? (by csauer) |
When Ike is walking the streets in the big city he comes off as brash and rude and snobby. WHAT happened on the airplane to Hale? All of a sudden Ike touches down in Hale and he's the nicest guy in town. How did that happen? For the next half of the movie I'm waiting for him to be the ass that I thought he was. It does'nt happen. He is now Mr. good guy. Julia Roberts working in a hardware store is really a stretch but it comes out later she was helping her dad so I guess I can buy it. The rest of the movie was quite fun to watch Ike and Maggie fall in love with each other. The <more> |
Please don't compare! (by gsharp99) |
Viewers should forget they ever saw the previous film with these actors and allow themselves to watch a thoroughly enjoyable film. All major characters were well scripted, including those played by Hector Elizondo and Rita Wilson. |
The problem with this movie is??? (by Slug-3) |
When I first saw the trailer for the Runaway Bride I thought to myself "Oh great, a Pretty Woman sequel!" It may surprise you to know that I actually enjoyed Pretty Woman. But, as good as it was, it was over-glamorized and I'd about gotten to the point where I was ready to puke if I heard anymore praise for this movie.So, I decided I would wait and catch it on video on an evening when I didn't mind being disappointed. I expected most would be disappointed, as the movie had all the setup needed for failure being envisioned as the sequel to Pretty Woman. But, I expected it <more> |
You know what? Don't tell me anything about Pretty Woman, because I don't even want to hear it. (by Anonymous_Maxine) |
Runaway Bride is just a good romantic comedy. Yes, the director and the two big name stars are the same as the film's 1990 counterpart, but even though the two films have striking and almost offensive similarities, Runaway Bride has a good enough story that I refuse to believe that it relied on the success of its predecessor. Julia Roberts is Maggie Carpenter, a hardware store owner a laughable profession surpassed only by Denise Richards as a nuclear weapons specialist in The World Is Not Enough. Yeah RIGHT! , and Richard Gere is a newspaper columnist Ike Graham who has been fired for <more> |
Let it grow on you..... (by silly_al) |
When I first saw this movie, following the wonderful "Notting Hill," I was less than thrilled. However, I have watched and watched and watched "Runaway Bride" and it really is a witty romance. What is particularly poignant about the film is the chemistry between Gere and Roberts. Though it seems very fast, it is completely natural for fans of "Pretty Woman," who saw these two fall in love a decade earlier.Roberts is wonderful in this movie. She is completely comfortable, natural, and highly believable as the spunky Maggie Carpenter. Gere is cocky, weathered, and <more> |
c-a-b-d (by Spleen) |
I found "Pretty Woman" charming, and I suppose I still do, but in one respect its storyline is contrived. In ONE respect? I hear you ask. Well, maybe more than one, but only one that worries me. This much of the standard formula a light love story MUST follow: a boy falls in love with girl, b girl falls in love with boy, c obstacle, d union. Timing is surprisingly unimportant. It doesn't matter when c is established - it can be before the curtain rises, or half an hour before it falls - nor does it matter if a and b are simultaneous, or over an hour apart. And <more> |
