Julia Roberts, known as a queen of romantic comedies, shines again in the classic film Pretty Woman, which she stars in alongside Richard Gere. Released in 1990, the movie will be available for Samsung users to stream for free this September on Samsung TV Plus, offering fans a chance to revisit this beloved story of unexpected love.
Set in Los Angeles, Pretty Woman follows Vivian Ward, played by Roberts, a confident sex worker who is hired by wealthy businessman Edward Lewis, portrayed by Gere, to accompany him during a business trip to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. What begins as a transactional arrangement soon blossoms into a heartfelt romance, despite the challenges posed by Edward’s social circle, which is not fully aware of Vivian’s profession.
Why Pretty Woman Continues to Define Romantic Comedies
The film’s enduring popularity stems from memorable scenes such as Vivian’s striking red dress and her bold confrontation with an unkind store employee, moments that have become ingrained in rom-com culture. Pretty Woman set a standard for modern romantic comedies and remains a touchstone for the genre’s blend of humor, romance, and emotional depth.
Roberts and Gere’s on-screen chemistry began with this film, with their collaboration starting and concluding the decade in romantic lead roles, including their later film Runaway Bride in 1999. Despite frequent airings on cable TV, some of Pretty Woman’s most iconic scenes are often edited, making Samsung TV Plus a perfect platform to enjoy the movie as it was originally meant to be seen.
Relive a Timeless Romance This September
Samsung users can look forward to streaming Pretty Woman without interruptions or censorship, fully embracing the film’s classic charm and emotional moments. Whether you are a longtime fan or discovering the film for the first time, this opportunity provides a chance to experience Vivian and Edward’s story in its full glory.
As rom-com enthusiasts prepare to watch this favorite once again, they can appreciate how Julia Roberts’ portrayal of Vivian Ward continues to inspire audiences and maintain her status as an icon of romantic cinema.
