The wife persuaded me last night. My review follows:

I thought the writing was very clever - a very well done caper movie. the supporting cast was quite good and a lot of fun. The scenes of Rome, NYC, and other locales were lots of fun. My biggest problem was that I found neither of the leads convincing in this romantic caper movie. Moreover, while I get that women might find Clive Owen to be hot; post-baby, 42 year old Julia Roberts just did not work at all as the femme fatale. She is not aging well.

I will never willingly watch a movie that stars Julia Roberts.

Pretty Woman is one of my all time favorites. Watched it when I was eleven. It is responsible for many of my penchants: 3-piece suits, Lotuses, my car, champagne and straweberries, redheads, and many other of the finer things. I have no plans to go see this movie though. ~ H

I sympathize with this POV. However, Closer wasn't spoiled by her presence. Having seen Croupier and Children of Men recently, I have come to like Clive Owen's performances.
