    It was never a favourite of mine although I enjoyed watching it as an 11 year old for obvious reasons. That said, I feel her stunt double should have had a higher credit than her, Roberts should have been introduced as 'Also starring...'

    This is an instant classic, funny, quirky and absurd but utterly charming...and proof that complete opposites attract...!

    I have seen some parts on tv from time to time, and it was enough to make me think the human race is hopeless and we should be nuked to hell and back.

    I would have given it "0" stars if I could have! This movie sucks! It seems to say that being a prostitute is somehow awesome & glamorous. What retarded reality is that bullshit!?

    Julia Roberts is a mediocre actress with a pretty face. She can act her way out of a paper bag, but she gets flustered and complains when she breaks a nail. She is the most overated female person in the entire entertainment industry!!!
