The ultimate ’90s fairy tale that still sparkles! Julia Roberts explodes onto the scene as Vivian Ward, a spirited Hollywood escort with a heart of gold and killer boots, hired by suave billionaire Edward Lewis (Richard Gere at his charming best) to pose as his girlfriend for a week of high-society deals in Beverly Hills. What starts as a business arrangement blooms into genuine romance, complete with shopping sprees, piano serenades, and that iconic laugh.

Garry Marshall directs this modern Cinderella with bubbly energy: witty banter, feel-good montages, and a killer soundtrack (Roy Orbison’s title track, anyone?). Roberts earned an Oscar nod for her irresistible charm, while Gere’s cool exterior melts perfectly. Sure, it’s glossy escapism with some dated edges, but the chemistry is electric, the humor lands, and the message about seeing beyond surfaces hits home.

Timeless rom-com magic that’ll leave you grinning and quoting lines for days. Big mistake? Not watching this classic huge!
