Amazon.co.uk Review
Alongside Ghost, another romantic comedy drama, Pretty Woman dominated the box office of 1990. The movie revitalised Richard Gere's career, and made a superstar of Julia Roberts, launching her on a string of hugely successful romantic comedies including My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999), and, reuniting her with Gere and Pretty Woman director, Garry Marshall, The Runaway Bride (1999). Inevitably the movie's theme song is Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman", sounding fresh as ever. And if that is a typically male view of feminine attractions, Natalie Cole tells the other side of the story with the unrepentant "Wild Women Do". David Bowie provides an update of one of his greatest hits, with "Fame 90" and Robert Palmer describes "Life In Detail". The remainder of the album is a snapshot of up-and-coming acts at the beginning of the 90s, with Go West's massive hit, "King Of Wishful Thinking" and Roxette's chart smash "It Must Have Been Love" setting the agenda for slick, well produced power-pop. As nostalgia for the time just before dance took over the charts, or simply as a highly polished souvenir of one of the most popular movies ever made, Pretty Woman requires, as Peter Cetera appropriately adds, "No Explanation". --Gary S.

Customer Reviews

fits the film perfectly
perfect songs for a perfect love movie, the are some romaantic songs on this cd, but don't fret boys they're not all sentimental mush.
there's songs for the wild at heart and songs for if your in the mood for a cry.
catchy, sweet and perfectly compliments the movie.

A night at the opera!!
One of the best things about pretty woman is the scene were Richard takes Julia to the Opera, Lauren Woods track "Fallen" is beautiful and sets the right romantic mood. Great for weddings!!!

Speaking as a bloke......
Y'know, soundtracks are always just cashing in on a movie, and are usually just a few tracks thrown together at minimal cost. However.......this collection really works! It has a great cross-section of mainly glossy, upbeat mainstream tracks, with a ballad or two thrown in, that provide not only the soundtrack to the movie, but also the soundtrack to that period in time. Favourites for this 80's boy were Go West, Jane Wiedlin, and Roy Orbison. Great soundtrack, great compilation of its time.
