Plot Summary:
A wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, finds himself lost and
hires Hollywood escort Vivian Ward to accompany him for a week
of social functions. Initially, their relationship is a business
arrangement, but as they spend more time together, they develop
a genuine connection that challenges both their expectations of
love and life. The film explores themes of love, transformation,
and self-worth as Vivian navigates Edward's world and helps him
open his heart.
Dad's Preview:
After a few smaller roles, this is the film what made Julia
Roberts the new superstar. Here, she is the whore with a heart
of gold. After a night together, she agrees to a week long business
arrangement with Richard Gere,
a very rich corporate raider (who hates what his job entails). There is just something about
Vivian that he can't shake. This
modern day fairy tale will warm you up like hot cocoa.
