Pros: funny and heartwarming storyline
Cons: unbelievable at time
I first saw the movie Runaway Bride this summer when it came to the theaters. I was in Texas on an extended visit with my parents. My husband was off at a school for the Navy and my two children were visiting with my husband's parents. Wow, a golden...

Pros: Gere and Roberts dazzle despite the contrived slop
Cons: There's a lot of contrived slop
When a movie sits in pre-production limbo for ten years, it’s usually going to come off the shelf covered with dust and mold. Ten years in Hollywood is a long time—it equates to something like fifty dog years (when I say “dog,” I mean dog)—and...

Pros: Julia Roberts Is Charming
Cons: Too Damn Cute and Unrealistic
"Runaway Bride" shows us that you can't place a lame plot on the shoulders of two charming actors, and get away with it. It's just a unrealistic bumbling mess of a film.
Maybe it's just me? I don't think there is anything remotely...

Pros: Funny and Romantic, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere are great together.
Cons: none for me
I wanted to see this movie from the day it came out in theaters. We don't get to go out much, so we waited for it to come out on video.
I was pretty excited the day it came out. I love Julia Roberts, so I try to see all of her films.

Pros: Entertaining, funny Julia, ravishing Gere
Cons: You might like it
This is a funny, amusing take on a woman’s premarital jitters. One of her friends even gives Julia Roberts a pair of Nike shoes to the wedding ceremony; and romping off a wedding either on horseback or a Fedex van, this is so original!
Of...

Pros: chemistry between actors, strong storyline, funny moments
Cons: plot is somewhat predictable, but still worth watching
After witnessing the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in "Pretty Woman", I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them together once again. Seeing how I'm not the going to the theater and seeing a movie type, I grabbed...

Pros: Roberts' failure to stand up to her honeymoon knapsack.
Cons: She isn't the only thing that fell on its a_ _ _.
The title of the movie is the plot, so I won't belabor it. My infamous 15 year-old daughter is a total Gere/Roberts fan ever since "Pretty Woman" captivated her with its Cinderella possibilities. When this one appeared, DD (Darling...

by DougAlexander , Feb 10 '00
Pros: Julia and Richard have chemistry
Cons: The chemistry is the only halfway good element
I've been debating with myself for several days now about whether "Runaway Bride" deserves the kind of eloquent, well-crafted trashing it is begging for, or whether this movie is so poor and intelligence-bruising that it isn't even worthy of...

Pros: The plot focuses on a realistic problem. The scenes were not gloomy or dark
Cons: The movie starts out slow and dull.
No comparison? Oh wait, that's not true. Runaway Bride can be compared to Julia Roberts' and Richard Gere's Pretty Woman. But does it stand a chance? I don't think so. They are good together, true. But I get the feeling toward the end of...

Pros: Loads of Laughs, Wonderful Cast, Nice Romance
Cons: --- zip---
If you liked "Pretty Woman", you must see "Runaway Bride". I know its really not fair to compare two movies with each other, but who can resist to compare when you have half of the cast from one movie in another movie? Our stars of...

Pros: Julia Roberts, lots of laughs, good supporting cast
Cons: predictable story line
I can't recall a Julia Roberts movie I've seen that I didn't like so I wasn't surprised that my wife and I loved this. Although we've seen "Pretty Woman" several times, neither of us felt this was a rehash of that movie. Some friends pointed...

Pros: amusing, well acted, light-hearted entertainment
Cons: predictable; lack of chemistry.
I have to admit it. I am pathetic.
I am sitting at home on Saturday night with nothing to do, so I flip on the HBO and "Runaway Bride" is on. "What the hell?" I say to myself, I'll check out this chick-flick. After all,...

Pros: Funny, but also thought-provoking
Cons: Missing just a tad more of something
After seeing Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts & Richard Gere, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was curious to see how Runaway Bride would fare. I was not disappointed. It seemed, from the previews, like it would be a fun comedic movie with a romantic...

Pros: fine directing, good acting, humorous script
Cons: a bit too cute at times, buy then again that may be part of its charm
Director Garry Marshall's “Runaway Bride” (1999) is a playful picture that gets a bit too cute at times, but it is a comedy worth watching. In fact, it gets better as the movie progresses. It stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts who starred in...
